It's not just the overspend. It's the fact that they used very creative accountancy to bring it down to that figure when the actual loss is around £336m. Moshiri kicked the club in the balls by saying they had to spend a shitload as the players they had were shite. Well boohoo, spend within the rules. And they admitted that they broke the rules and overspent the losses, so In unsure an appeal will be successful, as they have admitted they broke rules.

But it does set a precedent now. If they get a deduction for this, at least some of the 115 charges against Man City are going to stick, and I'm sure Chelsea will get looked at.

Yep, they claimed their covid losses were somehow more than double of any other PL club. No way were they oblivious to the fact that they were bending the rules past breaking point.

They’ve had a touch

2 points from safety with this much of the season left. With all that crap at the bottom this season plus they’re already in good form.

Leeds will be fuming 🤣 

It's a tough punishment, just so happens that the bottom half of the league is crap this year anyway so it's pretty much a slap on the wrist for any half-decent club.

You'd imagine the relegated clubs will be fuming anyway, whether at Everton or the Premier League in general, since it was much closer last season. This verdict could open a very large can of worms. Then you have the implications for the Man City and Chelsea cases, which Everton will now be watching closely...

There needs to be a system in place where everyone knows if you are caught breaking the rules in a financial sense you are deducted a set number of points.  Not the up in their mythical stuff we have now.

Everton have a 10 point deduction for apparently a 20 million fudge of FFP.

So we equate every 2 million over budget is a 1 point deduction.

Teams can chose to go over the threshold but know where they stand.

City have 110 breaches which is probably in the 100s of millions over budget.  So will be deducted accordingly.

Chelsea likewise.  Probably a few other clubs too.

The amount of spend would need to be agreed by all clubs pre this coming to pass.

It should then level the spend on the team so it's equal for everyone not those that have the biggest sponsorship deals or stadiums.   Obviously not all clubs could spend the agreed amount but the option is there should they wish to.  And those seeking to cheat and go over budget will be starting on minus points.

I’d back Everton to get out of this…..what are the bookies odds on them staying up I wonder?

You would imagine so. However with a tough run of games, if a gap opens above them, even if they are with 3 other teams, you never know. Pressure can do funny things.

This is annoying on so many levels.

Firstly, there's no justice in this at all. They've been punished this season for offences given in years past where other clubs have got relegated. Let's hope those clubs are able to go legal and get some justice from Everton that way.

Everton are still showing no contrition and no admitance of guilt at all. Surely that has to factor as well? If they aren't sorry then they'll just do it again.

They're. to some degree rightly, pointing at Man City and trying to draw equivilence but what are they saying? Do they want their punishment suspended until City get punished too? Do we have to wait until everyone gets punished before anyone does?

Methinks the Premier League is desperate to keep Everton from being relegated, hence the slap on the wrist.

The new stadium has provided EFC some protection here. The PL wants to showcase it.

That's believing the entire structure isn't utterly bent to the 'big 6' clubs.

The Premier League actually wanted something like this (on a lesser scale) for this case: the commission rejected it. Would have led to a 9 point deduction for Everton.

r.e: the timing, the losses are over a rolling 3 year period so you can’t apply a punishment until this has possibly been breached and then investigated.

Retrospective moves for clubs impacted shouldn’t be a thing - and there’s absolutely zero way of telling whether or not Everton incurring an extra £20m of cost would have much, if any, bearing on their ability to stay in the league.

They started investigating this last season. There was a whole “will they, won’t they” over whether the punishment would be in time to **** them over last year.

I think the team that finished 18th last year has to have a very strong case to say that the leagues inability to get this done quickly relegated them.

But they have to investigate properly - same way that the charges r.e: Man City will take ages.  The leagues will be so susceptible to being sued if anything is remotely wrong.
