Damn, they’re going down

[–] Venous-Roland@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ah they'll be fine, will still finish closer to mid-table than the bottom.

[–] karnnumart@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They're not being punished because you spend too much. They're punished because they did not spend enough.

[–] HerofromAliahan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Guess Man City have the better lawyers!!

[–] Fanboy8057@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Juventus 🤝 Everton

[–] frodo5454@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chelsea supporter here - suck my cock.

[–] CircleTheFire@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If they do end up going down, yikes. It’s easy and fine to meme on them as rivals, but they would be terrible for the city of Liverpool.

[–] alw9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

joke league

[–] CNF-13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A certain club has 115 charges I’m guessing the get chucked in the national league or?

[–] The-One-Man-Riot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cities trophies need handing down to Liverpool & arsenal and taken to the conference.

Chelsea the same!

Always scousers who get punished

[–] dreamingawake09@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Everton will get out of the relegation zone. They're playing significantly better than the true bottom 3 and feel like they've finally turned the corner as a team.

[–] Cvein@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Premier League has just opened the biggest can of worms I’ve ever seen.

Should make it familiar for Sean Dyche.

[–] IndyFiveHunnit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Meanwhile City…

[–] Nyushi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Very lucky for Everton that the bottom of the league is absolutely woeful this year. They'll probably still survive relegation.

[–] bananarama03@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thankfully Everton actually look decent this season and the rest of the bottom 4 are absolute dross so they should still stay up

[–] Forest_Forest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They can count themselves lucky they got charged this season and not last season. Not sure what all the sympathy for them is about. They cheated and got punished.

City likely haven't been punished yet because a case with over 100 charges is going to a lot more complicated, and I can imagine City's team of lawyers are making it easy either.

[–] Green117v2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If this had happened during the last few seasons, Everton would be a Championship club right now. Thankfully for them and despite the points deduction, there are far worse teams heading for the drop.

[–] MikeOchertz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If the rules applied to everyone, City would be relegated to League 2 in 1984

[–] Mets_BS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The premier League is gone BTW, 6 clubs tried to force a hostile takeover of the entire English football system and got fines.

[–] ubiquitous_archer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They better throw the fucking book at city, or I'm burning down the premier league HQ

Without having read the article or caring too much, how did Everton get deducted before City? Worse lawyers?

[–] MrAchilles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

4 points 💀

[–] PDubsinTF-NEW@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What about Man City and Chelsea?

[–] WhatEvenisEverton@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not many Man City flares in here I see, shocking, that.

[–] toluwalase@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe because this is about Everton?

[–] legixs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] MiggeldyMackDaddy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lads we want ye gone, but ye keep surviving, so here ye go.

[–] Thellamaking21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No way in hell city actually loses points. Those lawyers are going to be heading into overdrive

[–] Odd_Bitt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Better get popcorn for the next allegations to get judged then

[–] jnce12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Would’ve really appreciated this 6 months ago instead of now :/

[–] Iswaterreallywet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didn’t know this was about Manchester City, the club the im told no one here cares about.

[–] MereGuest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man City watchers in their sub seem to be convinced that Everton’s spending above what they are organically capable of seems to be different from City’s 13 years of spending more than what they are organically capable of.

That 100m a year sponsorship from a PO Box in slough? Registered to Etihad fish and chips? Don’t worry about it mate. That makes it legit.

[–] S-BRO@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is over A £19.5m overspend.

Wait, wait......wait!

I need to get popcorn.

[–] Bill3ffinMurray@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Though I understand the immediate comparisons to City, at least in terms of how quickly this happened, I think they're a bit misguided.

City face 115 charges and proving their guilt in all of those charges is paramount and, not to mention, very time consuming.

Now will the Prem actually do anything about City? No,I don't think they will.

[–] InMyFavor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Wide_Challenge3880@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Bey_Harbor_Butcher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] KnightofBiscuit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The corruptness of the PL is in plain sight. A travesty for Everton fans when City and Chelsea benefit with no punishment.

[–] 16intheclip@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Moral of the story: Do not cooperate with the FA or any other organisation, threaten them with lawsuits and act as if you've done nothing wrong.

[–] BDR529forlyfe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now do City! Now do City!

[–] MrDarwoo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man city must be shitting it

[–] GoldenGodd94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Man City never docked anything....

[–] NoUsernamesss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What about City? Over a year the breaches against them came out and nothing happens. Are they getting special treatment because they’re the golden child in PL now?

[–] RevolutionaryChip864@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is the second point deduction this year. First was Liverpool.

[–] TMyriadJ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

In the middle of the season? No way!

[–] No_Can9567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RandomSher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] scootsy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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