I don’t see how this process has any credibility anymore.
All of the bottoms six or seven clubs could mount legal challenges at this point for deductions directly or the reductions in penalties applied to other clubs that broke rules they kept.
The biggest offenders are unpunished and the application of the rules has protected a small minority of wealthy clubs.
Has a sports administration body ever more totally failed than the FA ? I include VAR and Referee standards in that evaluation.

Feel for Everton what a f
king joke it is for all of us hope the pl get sued
Well if they only get 2 points deduction, then we should get 2 points back on appeal, for the same thing.king joke it is for all of us hope the pl get sued s off both Everton and Forest fans. (And Leicester's, when they get 10 points. Or maybe 8. Although at this stage, who knows?)In fairness, they've been pretty consistent with initial punishment (barring the first "hanging judge" IC) in that they've given 6, 6 and 5, with 5 being the lowest and least significant breach (16m). It's the mitigations and haphazard approach which is the issue, which does boil back down to the clubs, who didn't want a set framework. And who apparently don't want points deductions full stop ("luxury tax??) but are happy for us 2 (3) to receive one.
NB I thought this was wild:

That Sir, is one of the best thought out comments on this forum. Sport_Turismo_GTS said:
53 points lost from winning positions 
If you are talking about when we were 1 or more up, then went on to lose / draw think its more like 23 points lost from winning positions.Whatever the case, it's far too many - just 6 or 7 of those lost points would be very useful right now.
Repeatedly not being able to hold a lead will be a big contributor if we get relegated.

someone needs sacking it’s not good enough JurassicGTS said:
Just our luck that the 6-0 drupping will really get a reaction in the next match against us.
Or we are playing them at a great time when their confidence is completely shot. I think they picked up some injuries last night too?Have Everton beaten anyone apart from Burnley this year?
