10 points! Hope we stay up despite it as a big two fingers up at the corrupt premier league.

At least it’s out in the open now so let’s get on with it onwards and upwards COYBs.

Think we got lucky. I'd take that punishment all day long this season. Last 2 and we would be in Championship. This year we will still be 10 to 15 minimum points clear of bottom 3. As we were 8 clear, we are only 2 PTS from getting out of bottom 3. The only way to determine if this is truly a "oh they hate Everton and only Everton" is when Man City and inevitably Chelsea get dragged into their respective hearings. A precedent has been set. I'm very happy that it's now over and don't think we should even embarrass ourselves and appeal. We are back off life support woo!
{Ed025's Note - we got that for 1 offence FBS, city have got 115 breaches...lets see what they get mate..

Absolutely!
We now know what's needed for the rest of the season. Maybe this will truly galvanise the team and supporters.
As long as other teams in similar situations are awarded similar deductions then that's fine. At the end of the day we took the Micky and have now been punished.
COYB.

Ah well sucks to be us honestly not surprised we are the warning to other teams.

Just when things were looking up. It’ll not just be the points of course, it’ll be the guilty verdict which will no doubt open us up to be sued by all the clubs that went down Leeds, Leicester et al.
Sigh.
But on the up, at least it may now put off the 777 group. And if they were going to hit us with points this season prob our best opportunity to cover it. But it’s going to come down to last few games again. God help us.

Stuff utd next weekend and all is gravy. I've actually not been this optimistic for 3 years and I'm not a fanboy of Dyche! It's a great day!
Absolutely ed25. I expect a Rangers style full EFL reset but they'll get a massive fine and even if it was a 65 point deduction, they'll not go down. Not that I am calling for them to be relegated.
