So the jist of it is Everton's previous penalty was for 21-22 breaches and they (allegedly) then cheated again in 22-23? Hard to have much sympathy for them on my end if true. I understand the whole thing with City, but fans of other mid to low end premier league clubs who actually followed the rules are the victims of that not the big six. They are long overdue to go down. Bonus would be that we all get spared from watching more Dycheball and having to watch Tarkowski rugby tackle 2 or 3 guys a game using his arms. Though the one thing I don't understand is that Everton had positive transfer income every year recently - must be that they are paying way too much in wages?

Leicester in particular got completely screwed... Everton cheats, somehow the points deduction gets delayed to this season instead and they go down by 2 pts.

Sounds like Forest are on a knife's edge, if they can get the Johnson transfer to count during the accounting period they won't have broken the rules even though it went through afterwards, their claim is by waiting a couple weeks and selling him outside that time their leverage went way up somehow and they got much more money so it should count? They look pretty bad to me this year, I feel like a 10 point penalty for them would be curtains and not only send them down but destroy their club for a long time, they have a huge wage bill and many years of transfer payments ahead and probably only 2-4 players that will sell. I could see them in League one in a couple years if they go down.
