    Didn’t Everton cooperate with the prem as well? Like a 10 point deduction for being over 20 mil seems like a lot

      It’s not for 20 million its for 125 million. Clubs are required to disclose losses of more than 15 million. The next threshold (the max threshold) is 105 million in losses over 3 years. Everton had 125 million in losses (about). Over the 105 limit you are subject to punishment. I agree it’s harsh but it’s a rule. Now it’s about making that rule consistent and holding the Chelsea’s and Man city’s to that same standard.

      They discussed it with the PL before and during the breach and were advised it would be a breach, it’s hard to claim unfair.

      The 10 points is in line with Sheffield Wednesday’s 12 points for slightly worse offence, which was reduced to 6 on appeal.

      So if Everton get 5 point deduction and stay up, the precedent is in tact for City case, and everyone has been warned that future sanctions will be tougher.

      All makes sense when you look into it in detail.

        The PL just don’t want an independent regulator. FFP is a joke.

        They’re doing us for stuff in years before it was even implemented in 2011. But we’ll get done and made an example of. Stopped cooperating after the Der Spiegel article kicked off their investigation (30 charges for that btw).

        But we have a small support, it’s a completely PL operated “court” and everyone in the country is chomping at the bit to see us heavily punished. They’re charging us with things the CAS already cleared us for too lol. We’re going down lmao. Shit happens.

        You(not you, you) can reply rabidly about us all you like, I won’t be reading or engaging. Sick of reading the exact same boring and sometimes unhinged comments lol.

          Funny thing is Everton fans support more FFP punishments which are designed to keep teams like Liverpool at the top and this punishment probably means they have won their last title lol.

          The key to what’s happening is as you said it, no independent regulator. They want to show they can keep their own house in order. I’m just wondering why. If a regulator came in and looked at the EPL money and practises as well as the clubs, what would it find…?

      This is like when a teacher punishes a kid for being honest but can’t be bothered to punish the kid that’s lying because it’d require effort
