Potential Points Deduction for Everton?

[Untouchable]

Points deduction now please. 9 will be fine.

 

[Banana]

No chance. They will just say "Covid 19" three times and it will all go away.

 

[Mr Tree]

Considering the Daily Mail don't usually know which way is up, i can't get excited about this, unfortunately

 

[Hippobee]

It is illegal to deduct any PL team points for anything. Even killing Father Christmas. That is in statute law - I am sure I read it somewhere.

 

[JANORAK]

Unless the PL get a shift on, they’ll be quite happy to pass the buck on to the EFL….

 

[Stanley]

I don't think they are simply on the brink of breaking the rules more they have massively overspent it seems even allowing for Covid concessions in FFP.

The more you read about them the more you realise they are in all sorts of problems on and off the pitch.

I am not sure Lampard is the a manager to get them out of a relegation battle either. Relegation would be a financial disaster for them. If he doesn't win the next two home games I can see a panic sacking.

Our last two games of the season are building up to be epic ones.

Unless their accounts show their Covid losses don’t account for breaching the rule?

The ideal would be for them to go down anyway then get a points deduction for the next time they go up. That’d probably see them into L1.

As I understand it it's the losses in the as yet unpublished accounts for the last financial yr (rumoured to be +£100M btw) that will tip them over the precipice of FFP.

If that happens and they get relegated they are presumably staring at a big pts deduction by the EFL before the start of next season.

No, the EFL will start a new round of financial fair play. Any sanction will be held until they return to the Premier league

No, read the headline if nothing else! They’re £155m over the allowed losses even before 20-21. So they’d need to be recording a huge profit last season to get back under the threshold. Which is unlikely.

 

[Holysmit]

Given Derby didn't get a point deduction at the end of last season and the EFL is stricter then the EPL. There is no chance of them being docked points!

 

[BFC1997]

It doesn’t seem likely that they will actually be docked points this season - but I do hope the speculation has a negative effect on their performances until the end of the season.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Zero chance of a points deduction this season - move on...

 

[BeeHomeSoon]

I'd be satisfied if they stay up and get a points deduction next season and have to cut their cloth accordingly leaving them with a weak squad.

That'll be 1 relegation position fill up for next season.

 

['Ayes B]

With Wycombe and Middlesboro causing waves over losing out to Derby, it will be interesting if any clubs in danger of being relegated start to make noise about suing either Everton or the Premier League.

We are talking big bucks and the leagues hand may be forced by a team like Leeds or Burnley who are desperate to stay up

 

[BudleighBee]

According to the BBC, Everton have so much money, that they will not be taking up the offer of a £30 million loan from the local council for their new stadium (rumoured to be a £500 million project), having found alternative forms of funding. Something not quite right here.

 

[Invipai]

Indeed, they are in trouble but they can just 'lawyer stall' this into next season, which they will obviously do. Hard times ahead but this won't affect us this season I don't think!

It might be a strategic decision not to be in hock to the council.

 

[Mulitinovic]

They probably don't need the cash. Stadium development is outside of profit and sustainability - their problems is they have overspent on playing staff and failed to get increasing revenues through the routes of getting Champions League football or conjuring spurious sponsorship deals with airlines their owners also own.

 

[Ashford Bees]

Our last two games of the season are building up to be epic ones.

Hopefully we'll be "home and dry" by then so will have 2 x great days out relegating a top tier stalwart and the perennial champions of Europe

I think they have a Russian backer so could be in trouble now.

 

[hanworthbee]

Think he’s from Uzbekistan but a points deduction this season would be lovely.

 

[randello]

They will play the loss of income due to Covid card and probably get away with it. Points deduction this or next season is probably unlikely but may see them have a transfer embargo.

 

[Stormy the Spook]

Given their recent dealings in the transfer market a ban would probably do them a favour!

 

[Comic Book Guy]

Would be next season if happens at all imo.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Would be next season if happens at all imo.

Not if they are relegated, as the EPL rules won’t apply.

 

[Jonathanbee]

We must be clutching at straws if we give any credence to this.

 

[BFC1997]

If away fans are effectively banned from Goodison Park, as per Chelsea, due to links with Usmanov, might that inadvertently give them a boost and extra home advantage?

 

[Byond]

The report claims that between 2017 and 2020, Everton posted combined losses of over £260m, which is in breach of Premier League’s limit of £105m over a three-year period.

After announcing the rules in 2013, former Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore warned that clubs who go over the losses limit would face a points deduction

Frank Lampard's side currently sit a point above the relegation zone.
