what does that mean 

Sounds like we might not start with a deduction but will absolutely get one once we've exhausted these appeals?

Yes, the fact we are appealing kicks the can even further down the road.

 

We are challenging the wording (textual) as the rules are poorly worded (like most of my posts) they are arguing its about context of the rules not the textual.

 

I think this could get very messy.

That's how I interpret it too.

We were never going to start with a deduction, we are on the old rules timescales.

 

It took them from roughly March 2023-November 2023 to deduct Everton their first deduction.

It had been dragging on for too long.

very much sounds we are playing the Man City game and trying (not sure how successful this will be!) to keep pushing it down the road. 

 

Personally if we have (which we have) broken the rules just take the punishment, surely its better to know what we are up against. 

if the club expect it to be hefty, kicking it down the road means that we have a better chance of convincing players to join us. A big fat -12 may well be enough to put off most players. 

 

 

[hackneyfox]

-12 now instead of -15?
Why would we get so many deducted?

I think there’s also a case to say it’s always worth exhausting all appeal avenues against the Premier League because they’re that incompetent you could well find they’ve broken their own rules during the process.

[trugerkem]

It’s only -9 for going into administration so it won’t be that high

Maybe he's born with it, maybe he's Maybury.

[The Bear]

So you lost the appeal. Now you're going to appeal the appeal? 

 

Surely that's it already.

Has the amount of the breach been confirmed?

This isn’t an appeal, this was the original case that the premier league made

No we're going to claim immunity as former PL winners! 

[wignalll2007]

Screw the Premier league and screw FFP. 
Spend a load of money on  a team that’s capable of overcoming the points deduction! Simple! 

[Hitesh]

And expensive way of kicking an inevitable points deduction down the line. Although would be funny if the appeals process doesn't get resolved until next May but we're already relegated therefore rendering it pointless.

 

Annoying if we drag it out till then and result in a points deduction that gets us relegated. 

 

Either way, I'd rather we take our punishment and don't let it hang over our heads for the season. Just need to move on from the mess created over the past 3-4 seasons 

[Corky]

I doubt we will gain anything from it and it delays knowing the situation we will be in. Not what we need.

[Foxin_Mad]

The EPL are a bunch of jokers! The rules are absolutely stupid. I think Man CIty will probably win, which will likely help us! Rules are nonsense.

Sounds like we tried to appeal on a technicality and basically got told to do one and get a grip. 

[drew]

When should the 22-23 punishment / points deduction taken effect, last season?

 

Does the EPL have it in the rules that they can suspend punishment by a season?

 

What if a club fails PSR, is then relegated and doesn't come back up for 5 years, do they then get the deduction for the breach in the EPL?

 

The whole thing is total bollocks.

The club have a point that it is stupid.

 

We stopped being a PL club a month before the end of the accounting period so they are charging an EFL club with the breach.

 

I don't have an issue with this, but there is no doubt the rule are poorly worded at best and incompetently put together.

Oh I agree. 

PL rules are that bad that they can barely govern by them themselves correctly. Hence the loopholes and clubs exploiting them.

I like this one. We argue that we 'are not a club'. 

 

I'm inclined to agree when you look at what we've done off the pitch
