So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..

PUNISHMENT: £10m fine

——

Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.

PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”

——

One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?

The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.

“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.

Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?

In the last 10 days we’ve learned that it’s ok to handle the ball in the box as long as you can’t see it

And now it’s ok to wrestle someone to the ground in the box after the ball has been played as long as you start the wrestling just before the ball is kicked

🚨🎙️ Roy Keane on the situation surrounding Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s foul on Cucurella in the FA CUP semi final

“It wasn’t a red card today on Cucurella and it wasn’t a red card when Martínez did it to Calvert-Lewin either. Neither of them.

But that’s not the point. The point is you’ve got to be consistent. You can’t send one lad off for barely touching hair and then two weeks later watch another one yank a ponytail like he’s trying to rip his head off and say ‘play on’.

That’s the problem with this league now — it’s gone soft. Refs don’t know what they’re doing, VAR’s a shambles, and nobody wants to make a proper decision. One week it’s violent conduct, next week it’s nothing. Make your mind up! The standards have dropped, it’s embarrassing, and the game is getting weaker because of it.”

@HAMM3R5 @WestHam_Central Since when has a “natural” grappling motion been allowed in the box?! Corrupt the whole system
