Everton admitted guilt plus they say they didn't know it also meant with ground improvements strange I thought health and safety was all the rage obviously not in pl fans can die as long as the pl gets it cut of gate reciepts

[@joeexotic5831]

@paulbrickland9625 That means the new state of the art stadium they have built, which meets all the health and safety regulations, not improvements to the current ground. Also who says the safety of any fans is at risk. What everton said was they thought the money for the new ground didnt count in the covid year. As there where special rules put in place for that season. Im not even an everton fan, but you seem to have got the wrong end of the stick. This is about money spent, not about ground safety. Everton are trying to say they didnt realise the money spent on bramley moore, the new stadium, counted in the calculations and without these costs they where under the threshold of money they could spend. But in hindsight they admitted they had misunderstood and admitted guilt and hoped for leniency because of this. City have 115 charges and admitted none, so basically the premier league chose to prioritise the low hanging fruit in everton, rather than go after a club with 115 charges as a priority

[@paulbrickland9625]

Out bid other clubs who work within the rules and win more trophys. I could understand if they hadnt deducted points from everton and forest. But surely the club denying any wrong doing, with 115 charges dating back 8 years should have been dealt with first as a priority 😮

[@garyreid748]

Yes totally agree got to be guilty with that many charges it's a told injustice to Everton and forest

[@joeexotic5831]

@garyreid748 Well Im advised its like the CPS, they wouldnt bother charging them unless they where fairly certain they could prove guilt, otherwise its a waste of time and money for all parties. I still think somehow they will escape punishment. Really we should be happy in a way. They have deducted points from Everton and forest for a fairly minor indiscretion compared to some of citys, so in theory they cant get away without deducting points or relagating city, its just a shame its taking so long. I really feel its bringing the whole integrity of the league down. How are we meant to be happy for city and except they are the best team if they win the league, if they have spent 8/9 years breaking rules. How they prioritised everton and forest over city I will just never understand

What should have happened is everton and forest should have been left and the club with 115 charges should have been dealt with first as a priority.

So basically they are buying their way out of it when it cost other teams relegation, better financial stability, better transfer prospects because they finished lower in the PL than they should've.
