The FA panel's starting point was a FIFTEEN point deduction... but don't worry, it was somehow chopped by a third twice, suspended and then ultimately eliminated completely. 🤪
It's interesting Everton's financial breach saw the Premier League suggest a 12 point deduction. A panel ruled the sanction at -10 before an appeal said -6
74 charges for Chelsea saw the suggested sanction of -15, greater than Everton's, but it was then worked down to 0 points
@Steven_Sinnott@MattJFootball It’s exactly this- he’s often been the only player to make our games even remotely enjoyable. Can’t remember the last time we had someone who could beat players like that at will (or even beat players).
Stats aren’t everything, he’s a brilliant player.
@MattJFootball Have defended Moyes for 20+ years, and think he’s overall done really well since he came back. But if Glasner is there, we must go for him- next season could be horrific
In light of the utterly damning & frankly hideous findings of the IOPC @policeconduct investigation into police conduct re Hillsborough, I have written to the Govt to seek the removal of the Knighthood from Norman Bettison - as this is the only remaining sanction left for families and survivors to pursue. #JFT97 #HillsboroughLawNow
I've got a new book out! A true-life spy thriller about the assassination of Leon Trotsky. Doesn't hit the shops until 26 February next year BUT you can pre-order it with a 25 per cent discount at Waterstones – offer ends Friday

@EFCLyndon Will very much be in the minority here but I think Hutchinson is exactly what we need, potentially more than Dibling, and I’d be trying to get in ahead of Forest now
Meet Colonel (ret.) Chris Romberg, former British army officer (29 Commando Regiment), military attache at UK embassies in Egypt and Jordan, and son of a Holocaust survivor.
Chris was arrested today for supporting a terrorist organisation.
A quick thread >
@EFCLyndon It’s also a relatively low fee from a market where we should be looking. Agree we also need experience but feels like a gamble on a championship player or two would be worth it too
@EFCLyndon Ideally, we’d have two new CMs as it’s probably not realistic to expect Gana to perform at same level as last year (plus Afcon). Garner will need to step up this season and by his age/experience, he should now be running games- am not sure he’ll have the quality to do so
Everton have now won more games under David Moyes (4) than Sean Dyche (3) in the Premier League this season.
