Other weekend games

At least if they get relegated they might win the Championship or a playoff final. Silver linings really.

Even their fixtures are laughing at them ...

Christ the next 6 games look like hell for them! Add in to that the congestion of the additional four games they need to squeeze in ....

FUCK ME IT MAY ACTUALLY HAPPEN!!!!

 

[Squiggles]

Given their owner is Russian and they may go down then they really are in a shit space.

Can't see their stadium happening either.

Hahahaha.

 

[mwake]

It's going to be close but the way Everton are playing you can see that they are going down

My dad isn't terribly arsed, but leans toward not wanting Everton to go down, despite his glee in their predicament, due to his sisters all being blues.

It seems like most are pissing themselves laughing at Everton's predicament, rather than really willing it to be, or do I have this all wrong?

I've got loads of mates who are Blues and they're generally sound, but they are, almost without exception, utter gobshites when it comes to anything footy related. One of them has some perspective and I'll feel sorry for him if they go down, but the rest of them will get zero sympathy from me.

Oh-oh.

Yepp it’s a realistic thing. In the shit before the sanctions

I wonder if Frank knew this before taking the job?

 

[Beamrider]

I'm not sure this is actually correct. My reading of the PL rules is that a breach of P&S rules will usually lead to more intensive monitoring and the possibility that the league will refuse to register player contracts (either new signings or contract renewals).
Where there is a breach of Premier League rules, the normal sanction is a fine. If that fine is not paid within 14 days, or if the club appeals against the fine, only then does to go before a disciplinary commission which has the right to impose points deductions and other sanctions, including expulsion from the league.
The other situation where a points deduction would be made (automatically) is insolvency. Provided Moshiri (Usmanov) continues to fund Everton then insolvency won't come into play.
Finally, I don't think there has ever been an imposition of a points penalty in the PL for financial breach, other than insolvency.
Happy to be corrected, but I suspect if Everton play this carefully they'll get away with it, unless they go bust, in which case it's moot anyway.

 

[StevieM]

Ok… I’m fine for Everton to be relegated for being shite on the pitch rather than being shite with finances.

 

[Hyena]

Yes... But I'm not averse to them surviving relegation on goal difference, before a one point deduction kicks in, either.
