Bar confirming the intention to appeal their immediate deduction of 10 points, the core line of Everton's statement is:
"The club will monitor with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules"
As us all!
There's an independent regulator looming - would that conveniently change the fate for the likes of Man City and Chelsea?
It would be typical for nice guys/whipping boys Everton to be the first mugs to be made an example of to take the punishment, before the punishment framework/regulator changes?
It feels very Oumar Niasse "successful deception of a match official"
The 10 point deduction for Everton is excessive & not right, considering they have been working with the PL about this for the last couple of years.
Would it have been better to be evasive & try & drag it out like other clubs?
No doubt relegated clubs will have put big pressure on the PL to deal with Everton, but when you consider 6 clubs tried to leave the PL & there was no sanction at all it doesn’t feel right.
Until other clubs are sanctioned Everton will feel they are being used to show there is no need for an independent regulator, and they are right.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has won the Champions League, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup. That's some collection.
He's 23 years old. #LFC

He dedicated his life to tackling injustice and standing up for the oppressed. His impact on the world crosses borders and echoes through generations.
May he rest in peace.
Confirmed that, after a short illness, the broadcaster Janice Long has died. She presented on Radio 1, Radio 2, 6 Music and the Radio Wales evening show. She also hosted Top of the Pops and Live Aid. A passionate champion of music and our friend. Our thoughts are with her family.
We are mourning the passing of our treble-winning manager, Gerard Houllier.
The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool Football Club are with Gerard’s family and many friends.
Rest in peace, Gerard Houllier 1947-2020.
