I’m not talking about this season, I’m talking about the past 4/5 years.
Daka scored four in Moscow from 2-0 down.They've also equalised twice in a game to draw four times, even managed to equalise three times against Braga.
All the season ticket holders I know wouldn't swap Top; there are more that aren't convinced about Maresca tbh.

The Moscow one was the only incident I could find.They've also equalised twice in a game to draw four times, even managed to equalise three times against Braga.

We were never 2 goals down vs. Braga at any point in that game. I'm not talking about being 1 goal down and scoring, I'm talking about being 2. If it goes to a 2 goal cushion, the game is already lost. We haven't come back from 2 goals down to get anything out of a league game since Stoke in December 2016.
You must know a different lot of fans compared to the ones I go with, a man who openly criticises the fans when they dare to pipe up about how the club is being run, oversees probably the worst PL relegation in history, fails to back managers every other season in January, I could go on.
But I do admit that a lot of our fans are King Power FC fans rather than Leicester City fans, hence the reason that moron Rodgers stayed in a job for so long, because most of our idiotic fans would rather see us go down than put pressure on a weak chairman to sack a manager.
I think we're being potentially punished for breaking the rules last season 22/23, yet Evertons punishment was delayed until this season, so if they got the points deduction in the season they 'broke the rules', then we'd have stayed up. So essentially another team broke the rules to stay up, which meant we were relegated, and due to being relegated we've now broken the rules?
Our compensation for being wrongly relegated 'could' be taken in the form of waiving of any points deduction for breaking the rules this season (if we don't sort things out by the end of June). Meaning we start next season on zero rather than minus.
A lot to happen before that scenario though. In the short term, it sounds like we need a whip-round at the start of every home match to boost the finances.

You're forgetting we have another round coming up shortly. So we could well have 2 lots of points deductions in 1 season.Fun times.

Now charged for breaching FFP.Who knew spunking 80k a week on bang average players would come back to bite us?
Best hope we get promoted or we're in a whole world of trouble!
After our charge this season for a previous breach, the powers that be have said points deductions need to be within the season. Hence double bubble points deduction for Everton.
You may well find yourselves having to go via the play offs.
So that's 3 clubs now, plus several others needing to sell players at the end of the season to balance the books. No matter, Chelsea can spunk money left right and centre and United can be hundreds of millions of pounds in debt and its all good

I feel like you should look up how the rules work. You may well find yourselves having to go via the play offs.

Sorry what rules have I got wrong?Chelsea managed to just balance the books but they could be in a heap of trouble this season as they haven't been able to shift players. I suspect they will fall foul of the rules.
Man Utd might be in loads of debt but have s
t loads of revenues so can easily cover the costs. We didn't sign anyone in the Jan window because of PSR and wanting to be compliant. I know as an Everton fan your pissed off, but you don't seem to grasp the rules.

I also didn't say that United had broken the rules, but they're hugely in debt which isn't great place to be when you can have a club with zero debt being docked points for losing more than the PSR guidelines allow

Article I read is that they lost £90.1m financial year ending 2023; £121.3m and £145.6m for years ending 2022 and 2021 respectively. Or a grand total of £357m. There's some really creative accounting needed to get that to within the allowable PSR guidelines.

Just reading the Guardian article on it, and yep Chelsea will be in the sI also didn't say that United had broken the rules, but they're hugely in debt which isn't great place to be when you can have a club with zero debt being docked points for losing more than the PSR guidelines allow
t given those losses. Not sure when the cut off date is for player sales and if they can sell any at the start of the next window. I agree the optics perhaps arent good on Utd having that level of debt, but it falls under the rules of PSR which the clubs voted for.
