*Shakes head* Everton again.

The VAR officials did reach the right decision, though: they saw that it was clearly onside, but they failed to tell the ref that.  The communication error was the specific form of incompetence.

 

That's my point though. They didn't fail to tell the referee. They decided that they couldn't because play had restarted. 

 

Describing it as a communication error makes it sound like it was a misunderstanding when it was actually a deliberate action not to inform the ref.

Back on topic,

 

The Premier League has recommended that Everton face a 12-point deduction in its case against them for breaching profit and sustainability rules, the Telegraph has learned.

Everton are facing the threat of severe sanctions if they lose their fight against allegedly breaking the Premier League’s financial regulations, with a decision due later this year.

 

Telegraph Sport understands the Premier League has recommended the punishment to be extremely severe, and up to a maximum of 12 points. Such a sanction would put them in grave risk of going down, given the team’s relegation battles in recent seasons and precarious current position of 16th, three points off the relegation zone.

Everton’s case is currently being heard by an independent commission after they recorded financial losses of £371.8million over a three-year period, which is well over the permitted amount of £105million set out by the Premier League.

Though the final decision will be made by the commission, the Premier League is seeking a points deduction as punishment if Everton are found guilty.

Everton have stressed they have complied with the rules and insist they will “robustly defend” their position, arguing that exemptions, including those related to the coronavirus crisis, will clear them of any wrongdoing.

Dear Santa.

 

We are approaching that time of year again, and I would hope that you recognise that it has been the best part of 45 years since I have written to you. As such, I think that I may have some leeway in what I'm asking for. And I've been real good for most of that time. So, I think you can afford to help me pout with the following:

 

1. The commission to find Everton guilty and for them to be given a 12 point deduction.

2. Just when it looks like they may make up the deficit, the PL to rule that 777 are not fit and proper owners.

3. They are unable to pay their debts and go into administration.

4. They are automatically relegated.

 

It isn't much to ask for. I don't even want a sweet stocking.

 

Yours

12 pts

 

 

[Lee909]

Really though Luton,Sheff Utd,Burnley,Bournemouth look so back I think they'd still survive. Reckon they'd make up 10pts on Luton over the season

The reports says up to a maximum of 12 points too so could see it actually being six to ten. 

 

I agree though, it's sod's law that they get a points deduction at a time where there are four other teams that are completely woeful when they have survived by the skin of their teeth for the last two seasons!

Yet Newcastle and City can be owned by murderous dicatorships without any punishment. Football is a disgrace nowadays.

Is the correct answer ‘Pace points deductions don’t count’?

What do we think they want less; a points deduction, or City to get penalized for the 100 charges, or whatever the number is?

Close enough.

[Lee909]

I think the 777 takeover would be funnier long term than it being rejected. Less chance if a ambitious owner taking over.

[TheDrowningMan]

They’ll finish 13 points outside of the relegation zone if they get a 12 point deduction.

[Pete]

How will they link a 12 point deduction to us and Heysel? 

[Section_31]

This is hilarious.

[No2]

12 points is a tease, its just about manageable with the shite in the league this season. I'd sleep more comfortable with 16 points.

[aws]

‘’Maximum”, “up to” - can’t see it being more than a deduction of six, which I doubt will send them down.  

[Bobby Hundreds]

12 points is not enough for their level of cheating. Multiple years in a row. They should get 12 points for the fraudulent covid losses alone. Those cheeky fuckers going on about us furloughing when they used the pandemic to cover all those losses at the expense of other clubs league status.

[TheHowieLama]

It's gotten so bad they are using anti-semitic tropes towards Carragher.

 

Cue the Blue Octopus.

 

Clearly he has an agenda against City rather than looking out for us. If City weren’t involved in any investigations there is no way he’d be defending us publicly. He is an absolute rat.

*Points at blackboard with complex flowchart, all points leading to a box saying "wedhavebeeneuropeanchampionsifithadnabinfer..."*

 

Then some question marks

 

Then another box saying "PROFIT"

 

Evertonians, the underpants gnomes of the football world.

If Heysel hadn't happened they would have gone on a glorious run of European cup triumphs.  Arsenal and the mancs would never have been a thing as English football would have been dominated by Everton right through to the present day.
