interestingly the commission didnt agree with the punishment the Prem wanted, which i think was the same with us

Not sure how long the enquiry has taken, but with Chelsea & Man City under review, it could get interesting.
(I imagine the Man City one will take years to unravel & pick through legalities though).
Rab C NesbittIndeed 👍 Let them have it. I was actually ok with is getting done and for agreeing to raise funds but then not selling Che to the summer. We caused our own mess
Having had access to some of the stuff behind it I agree 100%

WaggehDon't think it'll affect them much at all. They'll still stay up with ease this season.
Shame really as I'd ike to visit there new ground when it's finished. Bet it'll have a belting light show.
:D :D
El MayorWho was it on here who told me Everton would get away with it and they’d never be deducted points?
I said I;d be surprised if it was the full 12 mooted and no more than 3 with the rest suspended
I'm surprised

I think this is partly the last throw of the dice from the PL to prove they don't need a regulator. This is why I expected a harsh punishment.
Rab C NesbittEl MayorLoads have said we’d be the only team to ever be punished. And we call scousers victims 😂Who was it on here who told me Everton would get away with it and they’d never be deducted points?
It’s great they have been punished but scandalous more haven’t
Like Chelsea
nick_pThis made me laugh: "Everton maintains that it has been open and transparent in the information it has provided to the Premier League".
What, so being open and honest about losing more than three times as much as the rules allow should somehow make you immune from punishment?
Carra making a similar point, clueless

The 10 point deduction for Everton is excessive & not right, considering they have been working with the PL about this for the last couple of years.
Would it have been better to be evasive & try & drag it out like other clubs?
They will be well clear of the bottom 3 before the Christmas turkey has gone down.
3 wins in last 5 and only one other team outside of the top 6 has managed that and is the same amount as Sheff U, Burnley, Luton and Bournemouth combined in the last 5.
I would imagine that the relegated sides may have a loud voice in the next few days.

He’s a plank
There wouldn't be as many complaints if this had been Luton or Bournemouth. But because it's mighty Everton it's going to cause a massive fight.
It reminds me of Swindon being denied the promotion they gained in 1990 and around the same time Spurs were hit with a 12 point deduction and were denied entry to the FA Cup. Swindon accepted their fate whilst Tottenham successfully fought off every sanction and ended up with a slap on the wrist.
HackneyBlue-1,150 points for Man City then.im sure they will be, these charges would have been way easier to work through than City's 115, although the time taken on that to even charge them is a disgrace
The Chelsea revelations recently - well, I say revelations, I think l every fan has known they’ve been cheating for two decades - will undermine that quite a bit.
