Oh shit I did not think that this would actually happen. Means that they'd be on -5 after 9 games having played almost half the games you'd put them as favourites in over the course of a season (Luton, Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth at home, Sheffiled United away).

Makes you wonder what kind of punishment Man City will face in 5 years once that investigation has wrapped up (let's be real it'll be like a relatively small fine and a transfer ban).

Just remember kids... if you're not part of the illustrious Big Six™ that Sky Sports invented after we won the league, then the Premier League literally does not care about you.

Demands punishment while the likes of Man City and Chelsea have literally bought all of their success.

Is it to early for Ken to be turning in his grave?

Everton will still survive relegation on the last day.

Boy i cant wait City to get fucked to! /S

Would put them on -5 if applied now

Will still survive with how shite the bottom 3 are

it's an independent panel that is going to decide and this is what the Premier League is going to recommend to them for anyone who hasn't read the article

It doesn't say it anywhere explicitly, but from my understanding it would apply in this season

Would probably still stay up considering how bad the bottom 3 are but what a kick in the teeth for Everton when you compare it to the situation with City. Absolute joke.

I feel like they'll probably get 6 points in the end, but even that would be massively damaging.

Why a decent manager like Dyche took that job is seriously puzzling. Man musn't be all right upstairs.

Dammit to hell, knew I should have put money on Everton going down this year

Apparently FFP follows the “kick them when they’re down” philosophy

So if this happen, they will almost certainly go down. They would be 10 points off of safety and that is massive

Seems only fair we get a 1380 point deduction

With how bad the newly promoted sides + Bournemouth are this season, I genuinely think they'd still survive.

Assume if this happens then the various Burnley, Leeds and Leicester cases are stronger?

The most annoying part is that even if we get the deduction, it won’t just be over. Since the league okayed it at the time, we’ll end up in a long legal battle, probably lose even more money, and maybe get relegated somewhere along the way.

JUST ONE NORMAL DAY PLEASE. ONE.

Has no one told Everton that your suppose to bribe the FA with your oil money?

Leicester died for this

Do City first.

That could take them years to make up

they misspelled "Manchester City"

Everton: Potentially avoids relegation because Sheffield United, Luton Town, Burnley and Bournemouth are somehow worse

The Premier League: Fine I'll do it myself

boy oh boy am I relieved our owners made their way to the top the old fashioned way: dildos, fleshlights and non-abrasive lube

Would be kind of sad if this was what made Everton get relegated for the first time. They're the only non big 6 team to have stayed in the PL since its inception.

No team should be getting any punishment until Man City's has been delivered.

These type of headlines almost always lead to nothing.

Everton facing a 12 point ban, City go unpunished. This is the kind of thing that has ruined the game.

What about City?

No sympathy for those who skirt the financial rules to gain unfair advantage.

Disgusting scum club.

Genuine question, if, hypothetically, ban comes into effect while Everton are 11 points or below and the deduction is 12 points, can points go into negative or will it be 0
