Compared to every season for the last 3 or 4 years, where relegation would be a nailed on certainty, it's pretty low risk.

Everton would have to royally screw up to get relegated this season.

After the initial outrage over the 10pt deduction dies down, Toffees would be secretly happy that it came at the best time for them.

Last season, they're relegated. Earlier this season when they were on a bad run and suddenly the doom and gloom around the club could've spiralled. Later this season and they wouldn't have the games left to react.

But now, in a good run, with enough games to go and the siege mentality setting in with very low risk of actual relegation = best outcome of a bad situation.

Everyone is cribbing based on decisions not yet even taken, but isn't this what most fans wanted?

Clubs actually have impactful consequences for breaking funding rules?

It hasn't happened to the biggest offenders yet, but IMHO it's a good thing to see a firm precedent after decades of loosey-goosey shit like Fit-&-Proper person test or chump change fines given to infinite money glitch clubs.

was it carded during the game?

If not there should be a retrospective red-card/ban for this. I didn't watch the game but the longer footage (which shows him miss a sliding challenge and then go back in for the elbow) is damning....
