    Do we really need to dredge up all this Buffoon Union bollocks again?

    The vast majority were a bunch of self-opinionated pricks who peddled rumours as fact and represented nobody but themselves despite what they thought

    Yes there were some decent, well meaning members but their voices were lost amongst the arrogance and vitriol of the majority of the BU movement 

    They were laughed out of town because of the way the conducted themselves and were a million miles away from how the FAB , an actual elected body who do represent fans, behave

    Palfy we get it, you want to ignore the changing of the rules and all of the mitigating factors, as did the PL and the so called ‘independent’ panel

    However a lot of very intelligent and very qualified people believe this is grossly unfair and unjust so I do think people are right to be angry with how the PL have handled this

    Nobody needs to get there head out of the sand because everyone is in agreement that rules were broken and that Moshiri and co have been negligent in their duties and are 100% to blame for getting us into this mess

    But the irony is the years of profligacy are not in scope for these sanctions. Under Kevin Thellwell Everton have long been towing the party line and cutting their cloth accordingly. Over the past 5 years only Brighton have a lower net spend and the wage bill has been slashed. We have also been in constant dialogue with the PL over every deal we have made. These are all indicators of a club doing everything they can to play by the rules not a club flagrantly flouting them. 
    The powers that be have even said they are satisfied that there was no deliberate breach and that no sporting advantage was gained yet in their infinite wisdom decided the greatest sporting sanction of the competitions  history was an appropriate punishment and that it’s fair to charge us twice for the same set of accounts

    Now if you believe that is fair then fair enough you are entitled to your opinion but personally I think we have a case to get the entire case thrown out especially given the fact they are changing the rules again in the summer

    I don’t understand why or how as some seem to be saying that if we win our appeal and get a points deduction on the original 10 points deduction, we won’t get a penalty on the 2nd charge and it will be more than likely be dismissed, can anyone explain why this would be the case. I may be wrong but aren’t they both independent charges so will stand on there own merit, and any reduction of points on appeal is not a saying we weren’t guilty and will have no effect on the outcome of the 2nd charge of PSR if found guilty of that as well. 

    I think there are a number of reasons. In the first hearing we admitted the breach but put forward a lot of mitigating circumstances such as the war in. Ukraine which cost us a £200m naming rights deal for BMD among other things. Then there was the argument about them moving the goal posts and saying the interest on the loans we took out for BMD were not eligible as add backs

    The two charges are intrinsically linked as 75% of the accounts under scrutiny are the same accounts so if the appeal committee side with Everton on the mitigation in the first case then that also applies to the second charge and may in fact make us compliant so the second charge gets dropped

    The single biggest factor will be final position in the table (TV money). Yes, it's nice to have an FA Cup run, but all our focus must be on gaining every single point we can in the league. I'm mad that we let the League Cup cost us two points against Brighton. Play dull; it doesn't matter. Gain points through hard-fought draws; just fine. But we need to win all games against teams in the bottom half.

    How did the League Cup cost us two points against Brighton ?

    Have the FPL created another Everton only rule, that I don’t know about, in their desire to destroy us?
