Club ‘shocked and disappointed’ by ruling, which means Sean Dyche’s side will drop from 14th to 19th after punishment for breaching profit and sustainability rules

    Zero troll whatsoever, but I’m glad the PL is docking points. Now with that said, I think Everton fucked up far less than most and it was trying to work with the EPL on the investigation.

    City and Chelsea are going to need a new hole torn if this is as rough as it’s been on Everton.

    A non-punishment when the promoted teams are so bad. Everton will still stay up. This just sends the message that teams can do what they want and get away with it.

    If they were actually serious, then this would have happened last season. Everton being relegated as a result of breaking the rules would have sent a much clearer message to every other club.

    At least Everton are not so bad this season and this should not be fatal. But fucking hell if that’s their punishment, then the gruesome bluesome should be relegated out the Football League.

    If this had happened during the last few seasons, Everton would be a Championship club right now. Thankfully for them and despite the points deduction, there are far worse teams heading for the drop.

    So they had the money to spend, but broke PL rules which permit some clubs to spend more than others? Got it. Calling a closed shop “sustainability” is like an oil company using “environmentally friendly”

    This is actually mad. City has 115 charges, Everton has 1. Yeah they broke spending rules, but fuck me, this is awful. Chelsea did similar with transfers but got a 2 window ban?

    I actually feel bad for Everton, so many top sides, City, Chelsea, Barca maybe even RM have all had dodgy finances or in Barca’s case, even evidence to suggest paying refs, yet 0 sanctions except a fine that’s a drop in the bucket. One rule for them, another for everyone else I guess.

    People are screaming bloody murder about City and Chelsea but i think this punishment, is really bad news for both. Im much more confident now, that they will face deductions

    Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool might very well be fighting for the title as we speak.
