maybe. if the deduction is next season I expect the relegated sides to take legal action. Will end up a mess

The deduction won't happen this season. It'll take at least another year to fully investigate. The best we can hope for is a decent amount of compensation further down the road if we get relegated

I seem to recall they said it will be done before the end of the season.
I see serious legal recriminations if they aren't punished for this season

thankyou.
does make a mockery that if found guilty and docked points its not in the season it happened, or other teams could possibly benefit who aren't even in the Premier league

Interesting that teams such as us, Southampton, Forrest, Leicester and Burnley looking to sue Everton for in the region of £300 million if action isn`t taken against them.
They got away with it last time citing Covid as the reason for loss of income and it will be a disgrace if they are not deducted points this season which I know will never happen.

Here`s another one for you.
A friend (yes that`s 2 I have) was speaking to an ex QPR player recently.
He does some scouting in Germany for Crystal Palace and he suggested Palace should look at Rutter but for no more than 10/12 million.
He was gobsmacked when we paid in excess of 3 times that amount.
Seems clubs saw Orta coming with some of the deals he brokered.
Might be getting backhanders. Who knows these days.

Can believe it. It was a ridiculous price. He was highly sought after though by numerous clubs but we most definitely overpaid

Was he highly sought after or was that his agent saying that?
Whatever it was it`s 20 million more than we should be paying for someone who couldn`t score goals at his last club.

Shame for the Everton equaliser. Without that we'd have know 4 points would had us safe.

Now Forest winning and means we'll need to get a win tomorrow

At least we go into the last day with a chance
