Seems light to me based on the previous deductions, every round of penalty is getting weaker and weaker - until the system changes these teams should have had the book thrown at them for breaking the rules knowingly which Forest and Everton's owners clearly did and more importantly should have to accept the penalties from the league, being allowed to appeal for weeks on end is ridiculous.
But the worst part is that whole system is so unclear it is impossible to understand the criteria and why Everton only got 2 points this time. Would clearly be better to move to a simpler system in the long run. I know they are talking about a luxury tax right now, but at minimum, simplify if to a one year assessment, translate overage amounts in pounds directly to a specific amount of points, and get rid of the appeals process.
