"Everton have been issued with a fine by Uefa for the behaviour of supporters during the Fiorentina away leg last season.
Uefa have fined Everton 10,000 Swiss Francs. It is the second fine the Club has received for the behaviour of fans during the Uefa Cup campaign, having previously been reprimanded for Evertonians invading the pitch after the win at SK Brann.
The fine relates to an incident prior to the match that was included in the report of the Uefa Security Officer.
One arrest was made following a violent incident between a group of fans and riot police. The fans tried to enter the stadium without tickets.
Ian Ross, Everton's Head of PR, said: "The behaviour of our supporters during our Uefa Cup campaign was, on the whole, exemplary. But this fine just serves to underline what can happen if a small number of so-called fans decide to let down both themselves and their club."
Everton admitted the facts of the incident as stated in the Security Officer's report but pointed out no official of the Club witnessed the events in question. Everton also cited the efforts made by the Club to ensure the game passed off with as little disturbance as possible.
The fine of 10,000 Swiss Francs equates to just less than £5,000."
That moral high ground is looking bit shakier now...

"If they go ahead and somehow finance their “mega” stadium we will be seething with envy, every time we see it, bitter. Even more angry if we end up in a lifeless, merciless retail park development."
It was Liverpool fans, dressed as blues....Or something - probably, according to Bitters anyway. You could tell, because of the scando accents and the fact they liked drinking Carlsberg.
Apparantly they're contemplating an 18m bid for a brizilian striker called Jo and 8m for that French lad who used to be on our books who's name escapes. But as you know Everton don't spend money, the Moyesia works miracles on a pittance.
