We'd have to sign very badly in the summer e.g. the three big signings all flopping even worse than Bailey for Everton to be seriously competiting with us unless they win their first 4-5 games. We have a buffer of about 18 months on likes of them and Wolves so we need to capitalise and start making europe, still a chance this season.

VillaChris Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 De Zerbi seen enough, 4 subs at half time! Ferguson, Enciso and March all on so think we need to avoid Everton conceding early as I wouldn't completely rule Brighton out of a draw if they do.

VillaChris Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Everton still got that FFP charge hanging over them aswell so perhaps may start next season with points deduction although will probably be largely fine and restrictions on transfers instead. I can't see a situation where we're in danger of being below them at serious point of next season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are why are they being punished so harshly and Man City are not, makes no sense other than the obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted May 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 8, 2023 Just switched on the Brighton game about 15 minutes ago. It's been the most one sided game I've seen in ages. Having not seen the first half, how the hell are Everton 3-0 up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City got so many charges it will take years to sort out and even then they'll just appeal endlessly until they get a verdict they like. Everton had a breach for one part of FFP so should be sorted out reasonably quickly. I don't think they'll be deducted any points next season. When you look at how they're being run it's incredible how they've gotten away with it this season. Spent all summer not bothered about buying a forward and Calvert Lewin gets injured two days before the season and barely played up to the World cup. Then give Lampard 10 more games than he should've. Then in January again don't sign a forward. Will probably have a more comfortable year next time with all Dyche's knowledge though from scrapping to 45 points with Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
