Everton should be kicking off at their board not the prem.

The prem was transparent the whole way through and Everton ignored them.

Because a club going into administration completely fucks the whole division and pyramid. You can’t just have a team stop playing half way through the season.

So the punishment is as severe as it is to prevent teams out spending their means.

Everton are a little unlucky cos 200m of their losses was from a Russian investment firm having to bail out of sponsorship rights on their new stadium, becuase the Premier league introduced sanctions at the start of the Russian Ukraine war (same reason abramovich had to fuck off).

VAR - move to rugbys system. One of the biggest issues right now is on field refs are still expected to make every decision as they see it live, with VAR only intervening for clear and obvious errors. So for example if a goal is given on field, even if that was an error, unless VAR sees something egregious it doesn’t get overturned cos they don’t want to make the ref look bad. Use rugbys system where if the ref isn’t sure, the game gets pauses and he asks a very clear question. “looks to me like serious foul play from 23, do you see any reason why I can’t award the red card?”

Diving - ref doesn’t award dives unless its clear. Every single foul awarded in the game gets checked after the game by an independent panel and if no contact is made the player gets a 1 match ban. Watch how quickly people stop doing it.

Tactical fouls - the rodri special when an opposition player is through clear in transition and gets pulled down, red card. That is the number one best chance to score in football and 90% of them get stopped because players know they only get booked.

Handballs in penalty area - none of this natural position bollocks, if the player makes a clear attempt to move their hand toward a ball to block it, penalty. If not, no penalty. Fouls are awarded for cheating not because a shot going 80mph glanced your finger when your hands are by your side.

Fouls in penalty area - if there is contact with the ball before the player, no penalty. Objective. Does the ball move before the player makes contact with the player? No penalty.

Offside - daylight between players is offside, everything else isn’t. None of this subjective rubbish selecting which part of the body the line is used with.

I think you’ve misunderstood quite a few things.

Rotation - saw a stat after around 10 games this season they had made less subs and rotated the starting line up less than any other team in the prem. It’s a myth they have a huge squad.

System - they rarely change their system (don’t confuse formation with system). They always shape up in a 325 in possession and 442 out of possession. The only times I’ve ever seen them deviate from this is against some teams later in the champions league. They play the same way every game. Controlled possession, high press, high emphasis on positional awareness.

Injuries - they have lots of players who can play multiple positions. Say foden gets injured, they have 2 or 3 replacements who can play the number 8 in their system. Same for the defenders, akanji, gvardiol and ake can either play centrally or LB. They also don’t have answers for every position, when rodri is injured their system really struggles. They lost 2 out of 3 games without rodri during his ban.

I’m more surprised he actually hit someone and didn’t throw the object into row z

Cos he’s shite. Got carried by good Chelsea teams for his 18 month purple patch.

He’s a supporting player, he can’t drive an attack that isn’t already functioning.

Yes
