There's 2 massive differences in cases to be fair. Everton make losses and publish them. The only debate is if they have excuses for breaking the 105m 3 year threshold for losses. 

 

The cheats on the other hand are being accused of fraud. They're not trying to make excuses like Everton, they instead fiddle the books and inflate their incomes and pay people off the books, so without doubt it's going to take years to resolve. 

 

A club may have some genuine reason why it would happen once in the 3 year timeframe, but not multiple successive years, by a factor of more than 3X, as they have done. It's complete pisstaking.

Back in the relegation zone. I just lurve their style.
It’s a look that says ‘I’m bitter, I’m fucked. I’m going down.’

Fair enough. I guess that'll come out when they're charged - who knows what they'll be ultimately charged with.

 

In relation to the above, they've been charged. "The Premier League’s case against Everton is based on queries they have raised about allowances claimed by the club for the impact of the pandemic, as well as queries over certain related-party transactions believed to involve Alisher Usmanov." This is the (1) PL (2) taking a club that signed up to PL rules (3) to task for breaking PL rules. You'd expect/hope the PL would know their own rules much better than anyone else, so fingers crossed it's flushing time at last. If they've broken sanctions maybe they can move their new ground to Gauntanamo?

It's the taking part that counts.

Jesus I’m petty and bitter. That’s cheered me right up!

A spineless Tottenham will probably cough up 3 pts to them tomorrow.

We haven't scored a goal away from home against any of those sides. 4 of them haven't had their 1 nil win against us yet.

So that’ll benefit us. If Newcastle and Spurs lose this week and next week we beat Arsenal….
 

I should just give up on 4th

Yeah, its usually the bigoted religious and our bloo brethren that use mental gymnastics to convince themselves of something blatantly false.

That 2nd half yesterday was the nail in my hope coffin.

The bitters going down is the only bit of potential glee I have left. Schadenfreude at its finest

This will be the worst imaginable season. Arsenal will win the league, the  Cheats will win the CL and FA cup, United will win the League cup and Europa, Everton will avoid relegation and somehow escape a points deduction and Sportswashers Direct will get a CL place. But at least we’ll win the Fair Play award (because we never tackle anyone)

The glass is always half full. But the glass is half full of poison.

I want them to go down (obviously) but there's also joy in seeing them in a perpetual relegation battle, even if they aren't relegated.

I thought they'd only been referred to an independent commission though? I didn't see anything that said there were actual charges.

I’m sure Siberia would like a new football team. Large fan catchment area, comrade.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Watched the match in town and then got a cab with my arl man to the Florrie for a gig yesterday,  As soon as we sat down, "Watch the match lads?" immediately identifying himself before starting on how we've been poor all year, Klopp as lost the dressing room, time to go. 

 

I asked him if he thought they'd get a points deduction this season, or next season for their made up accounts and he accused me of spending more time thinking about Everton than Liverpool.  

 

All the stereotypes are true.  We were only short of a "guess who was in here doing a line of Ket.....Salah" from shouting BINGO 

[Riley Greenleaf]

Anybody who thinks they’re going down is going to be severely disappointed. Last season was the one.

[Harry Squatter]

Last time I got into an Evertonian taxi with all the shite like "born" plastered all over the taxi. He asked me if I was a red or a blue and I just said "oh I don't like football". Total silence for the duration of the journey.
