100% agree with this.Actually feel a bit sorry for them. Sure they've spent their money terribly but its fine for City and Chelsea to completely ignore all the rules and get off scot free, not ignoring the Newcastle issue!
10 point deduction for 1 charge? And City had 100+?
I shall not be holding my breath.I hope this is the first step in setting a precedent that allows the others to be punished.
I don’t think there fans will think there is no threat to them being relegated. I wouldn’t put my house on it that’s for sure. Luton and that are shit but I expect Everton to be neck deep in the shit all season and could go either way.The more I think about this - this is really just a slap on the wrist for Everton, and not a serious punishment.
Even with the 10-point deduction - they are not a threat to be relegated. They also were not a threat to grab a European slot in table.
So, at the end of the day - the only punishment will be lost revenue from where they finish in the table. With each spot being worth ~£1.5M. They were 14th, and I could see them getting ahead of Bournemouth - so this will only cost them 3-5 place in the final table - or £4.5-7M total lost revenue.
I'd say, it was worth it to Everton to overspend to make sure they stayed up, and pay a small fine later.
They deserve to be demoted like Rangers were in Scotland.That 1150 point deduction City will eventually get is going to be brutal
Completely agree mate.Actually feel a bit sorry for them. Sure they've spent their money terribly but its fine for City and Chelsea to completely ignore all the rules and get off scot free, not ignoring the Newcastle issue!
Yea I think they'll be fine but still harsh that they got this deduction yet City & Chelsea get off scot free.They're better than those around them I believe, so they should be fine with plenty of time until May. Dyche will use this as a siege mentality.
Table before the deduction:
View attachment 134537
The target for losses is £0.Premier League clubs are permitted to lose £105m over a three-year period and Everton's losses during that period amounted to £124.5m.
Ten point deduction for overspending by £20m? Seems excessive so I’m quite excited to see what ManC and Chelsea get hit with or are the PL going to bottle it? Unfortunately my money is on the latter…
Would have thought there would be some sort of time limit on appeals .If Everton are smart - they will appeal this - at the last possible moment.
Then, while this is being appealed, they can see how the season plays out - if it looks like they are secure from relegation with the 10-point deduction, then they withdraw the appeal and take the penalty. If they look like they are in danger of relegation - you hope to reduce the penalty, or push it off for next season.
