Everton overspend by £35m - 8 points and effective £45m fine (Burnley + loss of merit payments)
Chelsea Breach 74 rules - £10m fine
Sky 6 join a Super League - £3.5m fine
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!?
Everton make things right and read the room👊
Last pre season Game at Hill Dickinson Give him his Testimonial v Sligo💙

They are born not manufactured 💙💙 My 1st child @Everton im 41 soon and to say this was a massive surprise is an understatement. 11 years together told no chance of kids. Well hello there my new little blue nose can I get a retweet for my 1st child everton 💙UTFT
Everton were deducted 8 Points and nearly got Relegated
Nottingham Forest deducted 4 points
Chelsea & Man City got no point deductions and are expected to get fined
Everton want to sue the Premier League, and i completely agree with them🤝
Everton have appeared on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football more than 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 Premier League club 📺
Arsenal, Aston Villa & Spurs are yet to be selected...
This doesn't seem fair at all! 🤨
Our @AHunterGuardian nails it here. Football fans, Evertonians in particular, are not naive enough to think the Premier League will be fair and well-governed but the shamelessness of the double standards on display this week is still breathtaking
This is the punishment for 36 undisclosed payments worth £47.5m over 11 years relating to player transfers.
Reminder: the Premier League wanted Everton deducted 12 points for a £19.5m FFP overspend and didn’t think a fine was a suitable punishment
📍Everton 1 charge - 10 points deduction
📍Leicester 1 charge - 6 points deduction 📍Nottingham 1charge - 4 points deduction
📍Juventus 2charges - 15 points deduction
📍Chelsea 74 charges - Fined £10.75m, handed a 1year transfer ban suspended for 2years and a 9month Academy transfer ban.
Manchester City 115 charges - FA 👇🏽
As a Villa fan, the Chelsea decision is baffling.
£47m in undisclosed payments linked to transfers → £10.75m fine and a suspended ban.
Everton go £19.5m over PSR → immediate points deduction that nearly kills their season.
The Premier League says the Chelsea breaches wouldn’t have affected PSR, but the contrast in punishment still looks wildly inconsistent.
More proof the Prem bends over for the Big 6 while screwing the rest of us! #AVFC #Corrupt
‼️‼️DO NOT TAKE FLAGS HOME‼️‼️
We are extremely disappointed that some fans took our flags home last night, removing them from the large wooden pole they are on and taking them with them.
These were taken grown men by the way, not kids.
Some of our group seen this with our own eyes from the upper so we were unable to get the flag back, we also had a friend message us saying they have one of our flags at home because they took it off a man on the way out the ground who was trying to put it in his pocket and there were quite a few poles with no flags on during the clean up.
These flags cost thousands of pounds to buy. For the 2x2m flags that some have took home, they cost around £65 each to buy.
This money has been donated by our brilliant generous fans to enable us to buy these flags to put on displays.
They aren’t yours, our fans haven’t donated for you to take them home and put them up in your ma’s box room.
We do this voluntary, as well as having full time jobs & it takes up a lot of our own time. Now we will have to spend more hours securing 100’s of flags to the poles so they can’t be removed, which will then make even more work for us should any need washing.
If you want a flag with our design on, then contact us and we can give you the design and the details of the company who make them.
If you’d like to return them, then bring them to the United game and leave it on a seat.
Thank you 👍🏼
