What’s interesting is the media appeared to know what penalty Everton were getting weeks ago. Albeit it was touted as a slightly higher total I.e. 12 points. Objectively, Everton and now Chelsea have owned up to wrong doing, in Everton’s case it’s the punishment that is being contested not the offence. Also the immediate deduction seems like they are setting the ground. i would be very surprised if Everton don’t get the points deduction reduced to say five points which will probably make little difference come the end of the season. Of course what about City? The obvious response from the media. I have no idea what stage our case is at. But, it wouldnt surprise me if things go very quiet, then we get hit with a very big points deduction towards the end of the season with immediate effect, thus making sure someone else wins the title and any appeal would take that long no panel would want to reach a conclusion that then takes the trophy from another club.
