0% chance the points deduction will take place this season. It really should though, considering the breach of rules (I.e cheating) has aided their points total this season, not next..

The Football Association needs to make an example of Everton here, they should force them to sack Dyche and appoint Nathan Jones on a rolling contract until they are in the Cymru Premier.

If they don’t the 3 that go down and possibly the 3 from last season have to appeal surley

I see the mighty toffees have been referred to the bean counters. If they act quickly could we see a points deduction and one of the relegation places snatched away from us?

They can't even sort out a hearing for Toney and he's even admitted to the charges

He'll get a three month ban over the summer with a large part of the ban being served during the close season.

I would speculate that any relegated teams could take a legal suit against Everton if they've breached spending rules and stayed up.

Burnley and Leeds already tried it last year.

The FA will do…………..F A!

They will do every thing they can to avoid a stain on the “Product” - the Man City can kicked 4 years down the road. They even bailed out our friends down the M27 when their pot ran dry, well there was no pot, they’d sold that too. The PL financed their appearance in the final fixtures of that season to “protect the product”.

They didn't, they threatened to but never went through with it.

Am I right in thinking if - big IF - they did go down anyway but also received a points deduction, as it's a PL punishment it wouldn't apply until/if they ever got promoted again?

Think the main thing they'll be concerned about is avoiding being sued...  That'll be why Everton and Citeh will only get a slap on the wrist and a punishment that doesn't overly impact their status in the PL

I know it was probably nigh on 30 years ago, and not sure of what they actually did, but didn't Swindon get demoted to the fourth division?

Nothing will happen. The PL is rife with fixing and other irregularities to favour the ‘big’ clubs. Not that I consider Everton a big club as such, but there’ll be a contingent of influential people in the EFL and PL that will work to ensure Everton don’t suffer.

Luton were deducted 30 points and consequently relegated to league 2 in 2008/09, because they had a dodgy chairman who kept breaking the rules. Only ever happens to the smaller clubs, this will always be the case and there is meant to be a level playing field.

Is there? Not sure about that. The whole FFP regulations by design was to ensure the exact opposite

Some of these comments don't make any sense.  Why would the PL report Everton for financial issues if they are then going to cover it up?  Why wouldn't they just cover it up in the first place and save a whole lot of hassle?

It makes sense to me, the PL have to be transparent, it's a greater risk to them to be caught covering things up than it is to hit Everton with the proverbial "wet lettuce leaf". Which is what will happen as Everton seem to be one of the favoured clubs.

Precious little chance of this coming off this season, given length of time needed for judgement/appeal etc. So although it sounds possible, doubt if it has any more legs than Man City getting a slap on the wrists. If it was us, we'd have doubtless been thrown to the bottom of league one...

Also, they are wanting to show that at least they show some teeth (at the very early stages) against any incoming regulator.

On the basis that West Ham weren't properly punished when they stayed up because of Tevez etc (which was blatant cheating); Everton - if they stay up - won't get punished other than a points deduction next season

Everton always equals Fuckin' Adrian Heath to me, not that I'm bitter.  I feel sorry for their fans but its been a complete basket case of a club for a number of years now.  Given the 3 that went up last season, I thought they'd miss out on relegation again but looks like shit is about to get interesting.

Premier League cannot allow a points deduction for Everton. Where would our manager and subs sit during games if it weren’t for them? #ProtectThePioneers 

Won't we most likely be in the same league next season though...? ;)

I have no particular beef with Everton, my interest is in fairness, so I just hope the pursue some of the more difficult and better resourced targets with equally vigour.

 

As well as Bournemouth, who should be deducted several hundred points which carry over to subsequent seasons, for FFP breeches, having a joke of a ground and horrible little chav fans.

Yeah, Bournemouth are one of the biggest fuck yous to FFP, surely. Their revenue must be minimal, yet they've managed to get players ahead of teams like AC Milan. Laughable. Get them in the bin, please.

If they get deducted 12 points this season then the team who finished third from bottom last season should be very pissed off. 
Luckily we were so crap that we comfortably finished bottom.

Not really, they've benefited from financial doping for the past 3-4seasons, which has directly impacted us (and all other clubs) in the cost of survival. They really should be kicked out of the league regardless and handed a transfer ban. Be interesting to see if the prem has requested the 12point deduction to try and seem harsh and limit the reputational damage to the league, and/or whether the reviewer will push for a tougher (more deserved) penalty.
