Even we lost them. They should crack on, survive and move on. Sadly they won’t go down but I want them to. We did it so ashamedly we are the example to follow

A shame it's not 17 points clear.

'Old ZDS Cup Final grumpy-chops' (N. Southall) commented that the decision is a good thing, because it allows Everton to draw a line under the affair and 'push ahead' under new owners. Basically he's reflecting what some HOLers have posted i.e. that Everton will do enough to stay up, so it won't be much of a punishment in any case; barring perhaps a few million in 'final position' prize money.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Agreed,although don't hold your breath as the hopelessly weak football authorities will probably cave in to any meaningful appeal and see the ten point penalty drastically reduced.
Would be wonderful news to see Man City,Chelsea and Newcastle sanctioned also!!

Newcastle under the new management started from a very low spending threshold (basically Mike Ashely didn't spend anything unless he absolutely had to, be that on the team, the stadium or the training ground) so the new owners had a lot more leigh way towards spending capability whilst remaining within FFP -

Also with the amount of media attention & claims that Newcastle now have the financial muscle to spend & outspend anyone else, they have been quite conservative in their transfer dealings since taking over - (purchases vs sales) OK its still a lot of money but they have not just gone out & bought whoever they wanted.

Newcastles balance on transfermarkt - (Income vs expenditure)
21/22 = £130 Million
22/23 = £171 Million
23/24 = £108 Million

Attempts by the bigger teams to pull up the drawbridge / limit Newcastle's ability to invest in off the field areas have largely been seen for what they are (measures designed to limit the numbers of the elite & prevent new members gate crashing the CL party) -

Also Chelsea, s current investigation is I believe where they have reported themselves to FFP for expenditures under Abramovich , in other words they have taken the view that they are having a poor couple of seasons & if anything is going to happen to them as regarding points deductions & sanctions they want to get it out the way as soon as possible whilst gaining credit for offering themselves up in the hope that it will see them being dealt leniently when someone comes asking about the new owners / more recent expenditure records.

Man City in league 2 next season

Would I be right in saying that Everton admitted to the charges? Which is why they got deducted points? Whereas man city dispute the charges which is why they havnt been...yet?
