Soccer (Closing)

This seems to be to set precedent for any future deduction

Thank u… next

PL where if you're not owned by a state you actually have to abide by the rules.

People say the FFP doesn't work but here we have proof it does.

The question now is what happens next? Everton are in massive deficit and building a new stadium. Lets say they go down and lose even more money then go bankrupt because of this. Tell me how is that stopping clubs from going bankrupt and not making clubs bankrupt?

FFP is and has always been about stopping clubs catching or keeping up with the top 4 clubs.

Loving the City comments. Can you pass me the salt?

Incoming “charge city!! 115!!! strip their ucl!!! relegate them!!” Comments

Highest points deduction in PL history for an accounting error that might not even be an error depending on what’s allowed to be amortized as a loss and what isn’t. I’m the first one to laugh at the Ev on most days but that’s not on.

Meanwhile, City out here winning trebles and trophies and what not and....

City?

And for world famous cheats manchester city?

In the middle of the season? No way!

Meanwhile Manchester City are scratching their asses with Qatari riyals and drinking fine oil flavored with the richness of the deserts, laughing at the FA who are still figuring out a way to charge City with over 300 infractions

So Everton get 10 points deducted while city have 115 FFP violations and get fuck all?!

If they don't deduct points from City, then this shit is totally rigged.

YES HAHAHAHAHAHA

City when?

bad day for Everton and Ferrari fans

European charge is off

FFP is dumb and just a tool (that big clubs love btw) to keeps the small clubs small.

The promoted teams are struggling so much I think Everton will be safe but only just. It could give Luton a massive boost which I am personally hoping for as a Lutonian myself #COYH 👒

They'd be fucked if the punishment was doled out last season. This season they've actually been playing a LOT better and with three kinda bad teams promoted(no disrespect) they will likely survive. Don't be surprised if they beat United

lol? Man C...

Not against Everton getting this, am against the sheer double standards at play in football. Everyone are far from the most guilty of dodgy financial dealings in the prem.

Man City never docked anything....

Meanwhile 115 charges and blatantly bribing the refs is fine

City and Chelsea will never get punished by UEFA because they simply generate too much money/their owners invest too much money. As long as large amounts of money are involved there will always be corruption

Man city must be shitting it

This is a clown show if City and Chelsea are allowed to continue without points deduction.

Okay but Man City are right there… lol

I think they’ve actually gotten away with it.

The standard at the bottom is so low and Everton are actually a decent team this year they should e fine.

Lucky it happened when they’ve got Dyche for a full 38 games and not Lampard

What a joke. If they want to set precedent, then city should be relegated to the national league. That a 1150 points deduction.

How does this happen in a couple of months but the City stuff takes years (and we all know will never actually be resolved)? It's like when tax authorities go after regular people filing incorrectly but refuse to do anything about deliberate tax evasion by the rich

Everton surely can’t be the only clubs. They needs to hire same accountants as Chelsea and Man City.

Can't believe I'm on Everton's side in this one. Deduct points from Man city you fucking cowards

Wait, wait......wait!

I need to get popcorn.

Sooo… Man City when?

Seems incredibly harsh for something that other clubs are doing as well?

Football is corrupt, all world is corrupt. How City doesn't get punished is beyond me. Money talks. What is the point with rules even if money always can bail you out?

I know that there is a greg at every club right now being told to shred numerous accounting boxes, or to destroy computer memory. I hope none of them pull a trump and take them to their basement bathrooms and showers. Shame on the league they may have started the end of it all for many clubs. The government finally getting what they wanted in terms of an in. And possibly another push for a super league.

Everton get docked ten points for one violation. Man City currently have 114 violations against them. Should they all stand, does that mean Man City get 1140 point deduction across all leagues?

Scapegoat. The big boys have paid off these people and they all get away with it. Time will stand by Everton.

Honestly, I believe in Sean Dyche. They'll not go down

It's a tough punishment for the Toffees. I'm afraid they will be relegated because of this.

The odds are good for Everton to survive. Like others have said, there is way more weaker teams below them and they will rise back to 14th place I reckon before Christmas. everton will just use this season as a way to stabilise the ship. If they got a bigger deduction say another 10-15 points, that would of been interesting. But like said, there is weaker teams in the league.

This is what happened to Luton back in the day. Apparently.

So the weird thing is we still don’t know exactly why this happened , Everton are in the bottom 3 for spending in the last 5 years , turns out Everton struggled more than most during lockdown and over spent more than most which is fair . Everton didn’t spend trying to gain a sporting advantage, they spent money keeping things afloat and had one over the top season of spending . When the prem league got involved Everton complied straight away rather than trying to look shady . Sometimes being the peoples club works against you .

What did they do wrong?
