Mentioned in the premier league thread last week, if ever there was a year to get a points deduction this would be it. Everton will probably still escape relegation, there’s so much dross in the league at the very bottom
Not sure it’s funny for a fanbase who had nothing to do with it. I’m not familiar with the specific details but why weren’t Man City deducted points for their breaches of financial rules?
Fairly outrageous to be honest. I don't know if it will make it past an appeal as it's a pretty unprecedented deduction. It also sets a very dangerous precedent for the league; in reality the thing that did for Everton is the fact that they suddenly couldn't inject any capital to offset the losses because Moshiri was being funded by Usmanov and world events meant his money was no good anymore. Everton are now on the verge of a takeover by a new set of dodgy owners who are currently in an ongoing sanction battle about not being able to pay their staff. With the state of the world a fair few Premier League teams might be hoping their famously chilled governments don't do anything bonkers in the next few years that would result in more scrutiny on how they fund things. I think there's a lot of Premier League teams financing themselves in dodgy ways; a massive deduction isn't going to work as a deterrent but it can work to completely destroy clubs while their owners then wander off to pretend to care about something else when it stops being fun.

Whilst I follow this argument shouldn’t the capital be invested before they spend it?
Next season, the twenty Premier League clubs will agree to spunk as much moolah as they want, thereby risking each of them getting a ten point deduction, so they can all carry on as normal.
As others have mentioned City have 115 charges against them. They have denied everything and have the world's best lawyers tying the Premier League up in knots and stringing the case out as long as possible.
Everton had 1 charge against them, that they had breached the profit and sustainability rules. You're allowed to lose a certain amount in a 3 year period (105m) and they were over it. So it doesn't seem like much of a case.
Also Everton were charged in March and it's taken until now, so you can imagine how long City's 115 charges are going to take.
