[Football] Everton deduction reduced to 6 points [Update 8/4: ...and another 2 points]

[Bozza]

...from the original 10.

A Premier League statement said: "Everton FC appealed the sanction imposed against it on nine grounds, each of which related to the sanction rather than the fact of the breach, which the club admitted.

"Two of those nine grounds were upheld by the Appeal Board, which has substituted the original points deduction of 10 for six."

 

[Bozza]

They move up from 17th place to 15th, leapfrogging Forest and Brentford.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Absolute twats.

 

[Milano]

Will that bald prick stop bleating on about it now? Will their deluded fans?
Aren’t they on another charge too, hopefully another 10 points. Cheats, on and off the pitch.

cheats never prosper

Was thinking on Saturday there is nothing really to like about Everton.

Sean Dyche and his agricultural style of football
Dominic Calvert Lewin
That f***ing chant that goes WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Forget FFP the ban should be increased based on the above IMO.

 

[raymondo]

If they appeal again it'll be down to 2 points

 

[Sheebo]

Why spend ages to decide a punishment then crumble. Poor from the FA.

They have another deduction hanging over them though don’t they?

Also how does 2/9 equate to 4/10 - spineless.

 

[Right Back]

They seem to expect no penalty at all for cheating. 6 points now and then another 6 point deduction. They will still stay up.

How can you miss out Jordan Pickford from your list?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

The justification for awarding that sanction should have been watertight.

Now every other team sanctioned will throw the kitchen sink at appeals. And how is this going to work when you need to work out what division a team need to be in and, for example, the sanction for Man City's guilty 115 charges are all being reviewed on appeal. It took the appeal board months to review Everton's 1 charge. How long will it take when there are many more breaches?

A mess.

At least Luton know what they have to do

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hopefully means the second charge they get hit with 10 again this season

6 points still had them going down last season, so Leicester/Leeds need to look at action.

I'm hoping the well run clubs are asking for clarification on the ruling.

England fan aren't I. I appreciate that isn't a great reason given that I wish that waistcoat wearing Palace **** from Crawley would f*** off but it's mine and I'm sticking to it.

And swapping us round - it's all Dyche has got in, hoof and swap ends

Yep, I think that was at least the 5th time Dyche has done it at the Amex. We need to stop losing the toss against Dyche teams!

Edit: apparently it’s a thing he does every time his team win the toss in an away match.

 

[Zeberdi]

They still haven’t won a PL game since 16th Dec so a fat lot of good it will do them in the long run unless they start winning matches - they could drop to 17th again quite easily (the Bees are a game in hand and may hopefully take a point today to go back above them ).

And they should be deducted another 10 points just for being ‘absolute twats‘ (as hkfc calls them above)

Really annoying from the FA - hopefully they won’t be so lenient for the second FFP breach they’re facing.

City will get a 60 point deduction, reduced to minus 10 on appeal...so they'll win the EPL.

The second points deduction would be added this season I believe?

We really just need to take more of the chances we make.
