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.
Tbh I don’t care about City and Chelsea. They aren’t my club, none of my business. What I do care about, is the fact that we took out a loan to pay for our stadium, which the Premier League told us was FFP deductible, before changing their mind a year after we did it, then using that to charge us.
It’s ridiculous. How on earth were we meant to take into account the league changing the rules on a whim when doing our finances, then retroactively punishing us for it.
