The Soccer Saturday panel discuss the news that Everton have been deducted 10 points with immediate effect for a breach of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

Everton say they are “shocked and disappointed” by the ruling and have vowed to appeal.

The deduction, which was meted out by an independent commission and will be imposed with immediate effect, is the largest in the history of the Premier League and plunges Sean Dyche’s team into the relegation zone.

According to the Premier League, Everton admitted during a five-day hearing it was in breach of the league’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

  1. It’s fair. Let’s face it, there was talk about them breaching the cap 18 months ago when they just about stayed up and instead of Burnley. That £19.5m could have been the 3-5 points in the last couple of seasons that has kept them up and earned them an additional £100m+ per season. Makes it even worse that they play football that you’d see on a Sunday morning. Follow the rules and you’ll have nothing to worry about, many others have managed it seemingly

  2. Has there been any explanation by the Premier League for of the rationale for the punishment? Is it basically a case of it's a 10 point deduction simply for breaching the loss limit, no matter whether it's by £2m, £20m or £200m?

  3. The punishment was OBVIOUSY made in regard to the table. Would there not be soo poor teams in the PL and Everton would have been in bottom 3 then the points deduction would be way less. Clever played by the PL: making a statement without damaging a Club as Everton will ESAY avoid relegation.

  4. They broke the rules! Face the consequences. You can’t just let them off with it! What sort of message does that send? City and Chelsea should face similar consequences as it’s not fair on the clubs abiding by the rules.

  5. Personally I don't think that the punishment is excessive, there has to be a strong deterrent to effectively what amounts to a form of cheating, that said, it can only serve as a deterrent if the same rules are applied equally and without prejudice across the league.

  6. It is tough but rules are rules there should be a total cap on spending and also players pay, money has ruined football just as khan has ruined the country
