Everton Thread - 2023/24

I’ve always thought they’d stay up but, after Saturday, I reckon they’re doomed.
Lying on the floor every 5 minutes in a new invention of time wasting, is one thing. But, a senior player coming out and making excuses about decisions, suggests their heads may well have gone, especially when the decision in question is regarding a corner…

It all hinges on the appeal. If they get the ten points back they'll stay up.

Might end up with two lots of 6 points though.

Let's be honest here a 10 point reduction is ridiculous. A transfer ban is proportionate as it actually tries to fix the P&S issue. A points deduction does nothing but potential makes things far worse. I've got no idea who thought a points deduction was the best outcome. The premier league are supposedly helping to stop another Portsmouth not cause another one. It really needs looking into as it looks corrupt as fuck from everyones point of view (apart from Liverpool)

I never really go on it except for occasional visit to mental health thread. Bluekipper had a much better forum and was well run by Steve who is an absolute gent. This is about the most accepting forum of other fan's generally and seems well moderated. I generally only post on this thread unless something grabs my attention. I can understand why people would feel it weird to go on another team's forum but to me I go on quite a few forums as it's good to see things in a different light. I think the anti city thing is generally our fans of a certain age. Most of my mates have no real issues with City, to me it's not comparable to what we did and though I don't agree with the sanctions from the PL we were stupid and naive in how we conducted our affairs. As a fanbase we've protested against our owners for decades so it was no great shock.

I know quite a few Evertonians, we have decent football debates. Unfortunately I've also seen your minority of mindless thugs attacking women and kids on the way out of Goodison - so it tends to colour people's views.
I don't think you'll find many true football people who agree with the sanctions, but how many of those actually agree with FFP at all.
I'm 56 and think the game has ruined itself now, and I don't see it returning, it's purely driven by greed and sadly your situation is a by product

Nah fuck the scouse cunts. Get rid of their shite anti football once and for all from the prem. They won't come back up again when they go.

Their fans are getting very very nervous now. Little things are setting the fan base off like the rumour the appeal decision would be before Friday. Now they are coming up with conspiracy theories that the PL are waiting till after Monday as fearful of the attention Everton will bring
Another theory they've come up with is a points reduction gives Everton a boost and and will play better against Palace and the league don't want that
Various fans tweeting the PL to say they need to know as it's affecting people's mental health
Everyone also sends to be writing their own judgment "will get 5/6 points".. then there are the paranoia cult... "Sly 6" "corrupt PL"
Also saw, "direct all your anger at the PL if the points aren't cleared"

Noticed how the focused on us and Chelsea despite neither have been decided guilty?
Noticed how they seem to be trying to warn Villa Brighton, Hammers, Wolves it could be them next?
But any thought for Burnley, Leeds, Luton, Southampton, Sheff United in their tweets? Nope.
They are a snide lot. They've blown £200m they didn't have on players that were meant to get top 6. They nearly got relegated and its backfired.
Ukraine war blamed, well the club could not provide evidence of commercial agreements relating to it. Stadium costs? Debunked. They've even tied to blame not suing Sigurdson

I think they'll look back at this in a few years you've and realise that in that 4 year period they were owned by a dodgy businessman who's shady deals and financing sent them into administration. Feel bad for the normal fan, but they are few and far between.

I don't think the PL will uphold the 10 point deduction if it relegates Everton, however that might lead to court action from whoever goes in their place. The only thing that might save the PL is if other clubs are found guilty of the same offence and are punished in a similar manner.

I predict Forest get a points deduction that puts them 1 point below Everton and they suddenly stop moaning. Then they'll get the second charge and get relegated.
