Club Everton - The comedy

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This is all about the potential introduction of an external auditor. No more, no less. The EPL are shitting themselves and as a bunch of corrupt, barely bothering to conceal it cunts, I hope it comes home to roost for them and the clubs they are in bed with
 
I like Everton, but they broke the rules, just hapoens they bought shit players. So think 10 points is fair.
Chavs and shitty are different. They systematically cheat and have done so for decades. Their fucking arrogance galls me. Man City the biggest £ generating club in the world . Fuck right off.
They have deprived us of a fuckton of glory and £. Scum even worse affected as they were manures rivals prior to RA turning up.
I hope to god these two cunt clubs are destroyed.

I hope you defy the odds again and stay up. If any club can avoid relegation with a 10 point deduction, it's Everton.

All the best.

Everton are struggling because they wasted their money on shite, if they spent their money correctly whilst breaking the rules then no one would feel sorry for them. In another world they finish in the CL places, win a few cups at our expense, sign players that we'd be going for and build on their success... Basically becoming a mini Chelsea then people would say they deserved their punishment so fuck em, they knew what they were doing, they cheated the rules so they must pay.

There'll be a range of mild consternation to furious outrage, on social media, there'll be a bunch of piss taking memes and comedy videos, and then...

The next round of games will kick off and everyone will be back to slagging off VAR...

At best there'll be some drawn out legal process and someone will end up getting paid some hush money.

Spurs will be the distraction. If they want to distract everyone they will either give us a dodgy penalty and encourage the collective cross-wank of outrage, or they will find some kind of disaster happening to Spurs that they can sell.

Nothing better than a bit of Spurs baiting to distract the premiership masses.

The punishment seems wholly disproportionate compared to the punishment that Portsmouth received for going into administration.
I still think they’ll probably survive relegation.

Apparently it was heavily to do with Everton being somewhat uncooperative during the investigation or at least that is apparently what the docs said. Additionally the Prem is scared of the govt regulator coming in so they are now getting their house in order.

It does appear harsh but let’s be honest there is no excuse for organisations such as large football clubs doing dodgy accounting and gaining competitive advantages over other clubs via illicit means. The situation with Chelsea and City are much larger and involve clear evasion of FFP and potential tax dodging so criminal charges might be brought.

Premier League has to change, currently it is a at best Del Boy league and at worse Mafia league in respect to City and Chavs. This situation was always going to come to a head.

Everton's case was just easier and even after all their very creative accounting they still admitted they'd broken the rules

They're a big club with v good history 1960's and 1980's, so absolutely massive fanbase around Liverpool.

10 pts deduction won't take them down, and even if it did they'd regroup in the Champo with massive crowds happy to see some winning footie at Goodison for a change. If you're a big club, with a big stadium and a big fanbase, you'll always be OK longterm.

Spurs crowds in Div 2 were in the 50,000's some matches.

Villa? I remember them in Div 3 early 1970's, crowds of 40,000+. They beat Man U 2 legs on the way to the League Cup final and gave us a scare or 2. Few years later they were winning it.

EFC will be OK

That or one thing leads to another and they go the way of Huddersfield, Preston North End and Portsmouth.

They all had very small stadiums and their best days were SO far back they just didn't have the fanbase.

Pompey were quite big before WWII but once The Merchant Navy got big and the Royal Navy contracted then Saints gradually overtook them. Which at one level is insane, because STFC were in Div 4 up till the 1960's. Now there's no comparison but the other way.

Huddersfield, their heyday was the 1920's. Again, small stadium and far smaller town than the likes of Leeds.

Preston - Deepdale not big, Small relation to other massive Lancs clubs. Relegated 1961 never been close to getting back.

Those clubs would have been hit by the abolition of the maximum wage. Clubs with bigger stadiums could officially pay their players more, could afford bigger transfer fees. Teams like Everton were able to pull away from the likes of Burnley, Blackpool, Blackburn.

I can only think of one club that is in the doldrums that just might be able to get back to previous heights, Sheff Weds. Big stadium, still a big fanbase. Sunderland are on their way back up after mismanagement.

I actually expressed sympathy for Chelsea with their recent problems (and got several dislikes for my trouble). I have this strange idealistic feeling that we're all part of the same ecosystem and that if one club is damaged in some way we all lose something from the game. It wouldn't be much of a game if we didn't have other teams to play against.

I could learn to live without Chelsea pretty quickly.

A mid table club going bankrupt saved by a gangster which led to us losing a title as well as player in Hazard due to dodgy money and hindered our growth significantly through what appears to be criminality.

Chelsea fans celebrated their titles and CL’s bought by dodgy money at our expense and the expense of other premier league teams. They need to suffer the consequences of their actions. It’s not their fault their club was corrupt but they took the success of that and now they should take the failure of it.

Perhaps if they don’t want relegation they can hand us the title from 16/17 and the give other trophies they bought back to other prem sides they cheated out of.

Would our 2008 Carling Cup win against Chelsea have meant as much if they were a mid-table team?

Would the 5-1 against Woolwich in the semi-final have meant as much if they were a plucky underdog from the third tier?

No, these wins were special because they came against our bitter rivals who had frustrated us for many years. For better or worse, our rivalries with these clubs are part of our DNA and if they're not there to push us every step of the way, our successes become less meaningful.

When our time comes to win the league, it will be all the more special because we will have to defeat Chelsea and Woolwich to do it.

Yep love thrashing Arse doesn’t matter what division they play in. Arse also didn’t cheat un less you count the early days of their club back over 100 years ago.

Chelsea’s success is down to corruption, we have know this for years only now it is taking a legal form. It’s fake success, what if Levy paid £500m to the premier league and we where automatically granted the title irrelevant of results, it’s cheating, they have been cheating for decades and now it’s catching up with them. Arse didn’t cheat, hard as it is for me to say if they win the title they deserve it same as Liverpool.

I don’t care if Chelsea get sent to the national league, lose all the trophies they bought and get sued for hundreds of millions by us and other clubs. Fuck them and fuck their cheating ‘success’.
