I am watching Sky Sports pre-match show now, and everybody on the table saying this 10-point deduction was harsh, and if you want to punish people, punish the owners and this and that…
I get it, Man City has over 100 allegations, and Chelsea has some too but that doesn’t change the fact Everton is in the wrong as well, personally, I think they will be fine even with the points deductions there are teams worse than them and they are playing well enough to be safe till the end of the season.
And if the end of the day, it’s proven Man City and Chelsea are also in the wrong, punish them, simple as that.
I just don’t get the feeling of “oh poor lads, they don’t deserve this…” Please, we have teams in history that suffered way more than a simple 10-point deduction and the level of outrage wasn’t near the same. We have teams that played in the Premier League out of league football because of poor management.
I feel sorry for the fans, not “Everton” the club.
They did break the rules, they have been punished correctly.
However, the fans didn’t do anything wrong but they’re paying the price AND other side’s have not been punished even though they’ve broken more rules.
I think you don’t realise the other clubs haven’t been punished yet. Evertons was a very simple, clear cut and dry issue where they acknowledged they broke the rules, but yet it still took 8 months. Other clubs have many more charges, span more years, vehemently deny the charges, is much older and have 1000x more documents to go through.
They can’t be angry that their simple charge was dealt with faster than other clubs whose charges are hundreds times harder and longer to build a case for. That’s just stupid.
