Notts F & Everton admit to breaking rules and face points deduction

[Jobyfox]

Everton deducted 10 points for breaching FFP rules.
 

Some will be annoyed that they stayed up last season at our expense. Personally, I’m somewhat pragmatic about it given we weren’t exactly innocent when we were promoted in 2014.

 

interesting how Everton get punished though whilst others (cough … Man City … cough) get away with it ….

Title changed was Everton deducted 10pts

[FoxesWalk]

We will sue them, surely? 

[Fox92]

They didn't stay up "at our expense". We were awful and deserved to go down.

 

Relegated over 38 games not one or two.

 

So starts more lawsuits.

£300m lawsuit incoming.

[SickoDicko]

They'll still stay up with how poor the PL is this season 

[CosbehFox]

Won't be sorted until May at earliest - Everton will take it up to CAS. Seen this play before. If they stay up without the deduction, they will pull the CAS appeal.

If they didn't have X player or Y player they wouldn't have stayed up at our expense.

 

They were dog shit too.

[Bryn]

I would say in these circumstances you should relegate them in addition to the teams that went down. We deserved relegation for being shit, they deserved it for cheating.

Well, they definitely stayed up at our expense… but I’d agree that we only have ourselves to blame

Slightest issue is Everton didn't tell us to keep employing Brendan Rodgers and sign the likes of Soumare

Come on, you're not this oblivious. We were god awful yes, no-one is denying that, but Everton cheated massively. Without that they wouldn't have picked up the two extra points and would have gone down instead of us. Hence, their cheating kept them up at the expense of us instead. We'd have been dogshit and finished 17th instead

They were awful. I take the point about players X and Y.

 

So do Leeds also feel this way too? And Southampton?

Pretty sure they as well as clubs like Burbley are pissed off yeah

I dunno - you'd have to ask them.

 

They've broken the rules and signed players that they shouldn't have had.

 

if they didn't have those players we, who stuck to the rules, would have stayed up and not them.

Was just about to put this, this could be the easiest season to stay up if the first 12 games are anything to go by

We came third from bottom. Leeds and Southampton would have still been in the bottom three if Everton were there instead of us. We would have survived. Massive difference.

I mean yes they do, but also did Leeds or Southampton finish in the final relegation spot?

[Fox forever]

They have been punished for season before last so the argument is did cheating in that season have a knock on effect to last season 

[lcfcell]

Of course they get a point’s deduction in the easiest season to stay up ever

Exactly this - the PL will have wanted to delay this as much as possible and this is the least worst time for Everton to get this punishment. 

[Fox92]

Okay can people stop quoting me now @Langley and @The Doctor have explained better than just rash reponses.

 

Mods.

[CosbehFox]

If they have broke the rules, they deserve it. This will run through the appeal systems now right up to CAS. 

 

If they lose that case, I see the only outcome regardless of our claims for compensation, will just strengthen the top bunch of the league. Everton aren't cash rich - a lot of money is tied up within the club on finance deals and debt. So everyone goes after the assets. As common with administration etc, the top clubs will ransack their academy teams of all the best talent. Then they get to pad out their squads with Everton's remaining better players. It just ends up strengthen everyone at the top. A potential pretender to that big group at the top held back. Liverpool get the spoils of the city's talent. Everton end up like Leeds and Leicester flogging their new stadium to a third party.

Leeds only finished three points behind us tbf, and 5 behind Everton. Not a massive difference.

 

Southampton miles away of course.
