Why is everyone assuming they'll get a points deduction next season and not this?

I'm with you on this, any points deduction has to happen this season or its of no use to the relegated sides who play by the rules.

Personally think it will be issued after the season has ended to prevent crowd trouble at the game.

They are staying up unfortunately. They've actually helped both us and United too.

There's no way on earth they send Everton down after the season is done and they believe they have survived. I honestly think that would be an appaling way to do it anyway.

Disappointing end to their relegation battle. Two years on the bounce they've done enough 

[sir roger]

Never thought it was going to happen, but did weaken after the Fulham game.

 

I see the bottom 4 have won 2 of their last 20 cumulative games. They should all be relegated for bringing the game into disrepute.

[manwiththestick]

I still have hope.

 

This is Everton we're talking about. Not even the most die hard fand would have predicted that yesterday and some of their fans are now thinking job done, after the City game ends in defeat they ONLY need to beat one of Wolves or Bournemouth to stay up. Some were even suggesting a push for top 6 next season for gods sake.

 

We all know that classic and well known Everton trope is pride before a fall, they can't help themselves. Let's hope there's an unexpected twist to come that isn't them beating City.

As I recall, didn’t they say they were working with the Premier League and taking advice regarding their financial situation and transfer dealings? Surely they’ll only get a slap on the wrist regarding their spending and claims of covid losses then?
At most, I can see the PL giving them a “punishment” at a level and at a time when it might have the least effect.

Looking at the remaining games, Leicester will go with Leeds and Southampton. There often seems to be a team that are “too good” to go down and Leicester with Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison and even Vardy still, should have had enough to stay up, but their momentum (and defence) are in a downward momentum and we are probably going to shove them further on Monday night after City have thrashed our lovely neighbours.

For me with only 2 weeks left of the season there's not much time left. I don't see them applying a deduction once the season is over.

It's done. They're here for at least another season. Dyche will get a long contract and before Christmas they will be calling for his head because he doesn't fit with 'Everton values' or some other fantasy bullshit.

[Anubis]

On the naughty step with us.

That happened last season didn't it? Haven't they already had a warning shot across the bow?

I think that's exactly the case and is forming part of their defence now. We cheated, but we told you about it.

"It's OK when we do it, and not Kopite behaviour at all". Most likely.

I'm sure those that were accusing us of making it all about us are having a go at themselves for making it all about them.

They will beat both Wolves & Bournemouth.

Him and Ramsdale are the worst for saves for the camera. Why make a save routine when you can fly through the air instead. Both frauds.

Something I hadn't picked up on is Dyche has a great record against Brighton at the Amex having never lost there, clearly has their number(even under Potter who plays much more defensively), he took Burnley there last season and won 3-0.

So with in mind that this was probably not as much of a freak result as it looked, my hope/coping mechanism is both their fans and players will take their foot off the gas thinking they've done Brighton 5-1 so it should be easy from here on out.
