Saint Fan CaM Posted 26 March, 2023 Share Posted 26 March, 2023 (edited) Nothing will happen. The PL is rife with fixing and other irregularities to favour the ‘big’ clubs. Not that I consider Everton a big club as such, but there’ll be a contingent of influential people in the EFL and PL that will work to ensure Everton don’t suffer.

Andrew Watson Posted 26 March, 2023 Share Posted 26 March, 2023 Luton were deducted 30 points and consequently relegated to league 2 in 2008/09, because they had a dodgy chairman who kept breaking the rules. Only ever happens to the smaller clubs, this will always be the case and there is meant to be a level playing field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 27 March, 2023 Share Posted 27 March, 2023 Precious little chance of this coming off this season, given length of time needed for judgement/appeal etc. So although it sounds possible, doubt if it has any more legs than Man City getting a slap on the wrists.

Not really, they've benefited from financial doping for the past 3-4seasons, which has directly impacted us (and all other clubs) in the cost of survival. They really should be kicked out of the league regardless and handed a transfer ban. Be interesting to see if the prem has requested the 12point deduction to try and seem harsh and limit the reputational damage to the league, and/or whether the reviewer will push for a tougher (more deserved) penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
