So far then:

Everton -10 points

Chelsea - was naughty in the past, -30 points?

City - 115 breaches, relegation to Div 2?

Tottenham - irregularities with the Defoe transfer, -20 points?

Wonder how many more teams will come out in the following months. Gonna be diffcult to throw points deductions at all the prem clubs. 

What about an amnesty? 😜

The best thing for us is that there is an avalanche of alleged irregularities, they won't know where to turn

Every few years we are investigated for something, and I am just fed up with it all. It's a cycle that keeps repeating itself. I can remember back when we were investigated for signing Kakuta, and every few years since, something new has popped up.

I can't remember the last time I didn't feel anxious about something concerning Chelsea. I've used football as a form of escapism many times in the past, but these days I do the opposite and look for anything to avoid focusing on anything Chelsea related. I can never look forward to anything positive with the club because there is always something negative that counters it.

When one thing passes, I'm just waiting for the next problem to poke it's head around the corner. If it were just on field issues, I could deal with that, every club goes through ups and downs on the pitch, but it's all of the other bullsh*t that I am sick of.

Forum traffic would agree with that sentiment since the sanctions! It’s a shame!

Or every club get slapped with a 20 point deduction, so everything evens out 🤔

The end game is clearly to nobble any team that might stop Arsenal "winning" the PL LOL

The Liverpool Echo has been campaigning for Liverpool to be awarded extra titles for all their 2nd place finishes behind Man City.

Any volunteers to have a deep dive into Liverpool's historical accounts to see if we can get all their 1980s titles rescinded ?  🙂

Arsanal should be investigated over their very existence. Look up a certain Sir Henry Norris.

Haven't read the Wikipedia page yet but he looks dodgy to me

So, one of the members of the " independent" adjudication panel that gave the 10 point Everton penalty is the former West Ham Finance director who was part of the Dodgy Tevez and the other fellow ( Marcherono)  ? Transfer deal. which saw relegated Sheffield United being compensated as a result

Suddenly acting tough now when faced with the Government imposed oversight panel is revealing  more about the governance of the game than it does about football clubs.

The first investigation should be into the EPL and how a former club director who was part of irregularities is allowed to judge other clubs

Well, you can make point reductions on City and Chelsea and guess what. . . .that European Super League looks like a fascinating prospect all of a sudden.

Just by taking a guess I reckon there's something fishy with the Coutinho to Barca transfer. Not to mention VVD and and Allison and how they both somehow preferred Liverpool over title winners Chelsea.

I could absolutely see that happening if the Premier League throws big punishments at both clubs.

The Allison thing was a mess , trying to persuade Courtios to stay , balking at the fee , offering way below the asking price allowed Liverpool to pay the world record asking price.

Then we break the world record to buy  fecking Kepa.

VVD was similar , Liverpool had the money from the Coutinho sale (I think) to out bid us again.

I seem to remember (was it Conte) saying something like" the club look after the financial side, that's the way it is " But not wanting to fork out for Allison then spending MORE on Kepa doesn't add up really .

As for Coutinho transfer, I hope there IS something,  who knows?

Not sure they’d give the titles to Liverpool if they rescinded City’s.  
 

Back in 2004–05 when Juve were stripped of their title no one was awarded the title and that judgement happened the season after.  I’m not sure why but maybe down to the fact it would invalidate every City result making the whole league void.  Although I wouldn’t put it past the FA awarding their golden child a couple of titles, but that would annoy their other favourites in Man Utd. 🤔

The funny thing about what the Echo was proposing is that Manchester United would gain more new "titles" than Liverpool, so the Scouse would be even further behind their bitter rivals in the race to be the countries #1 winningest team LOL

And next ...

"Kick it out " CEO has called for sanctions for clubs that fail aspects of the League's diversity and inclusion policy.

To be fair that is not a bad idea. Racism needs to be tackled far more than worrying FFP.

Don’t think diversity and inclusion gets rid of racism more like it creates it.

There are laws already that rightly make racism a criminal offence 

Diversity and inclusion policy has flagged up the lack of females in coaching and management.

Gender pay gaps.

Fan base not reflective of the local community.

Lack of opportunity for the disabled to get involved.

They say the low number of Asians in the game is also another concern and initiatives should be made to address it.

Jobs should be given on merit seeto low represented communities first 

It goes on.

Meanwhile we had a world cup in Qatar, Russia and another lined up for Saudi Arabia,  " inclusive and diversity " is lacking.in all three..

Oh I am not saying that I would want it. Because I don't.  But if you look at why it failed last time, it was mainly because Citeh and Chelsea pulled out. BUT if you start trying to deduct points, etc. [AND our new owners probably like the idea a lot more than Roman ever did].  it is an option. It is certianly something the Premier League should think about.

I think you're right. I've seen the same thing on the Citeh and Everton site. 

The EPL uncovered nothing at all in ours and City's cases, it came from leaks , hacks and even ourselves giving evidence that the EPL were unaware of.

On KUMB West ham site they can't believe their ex finance director is on the adjudicating panel.

I was looking at the Bruce Grobbelar match fixing years ago.

Alan Ball gave evidence that he thought it was impossible for a goalkeeper to fix a game !!,

Correct me if Im wrong here but wasn't there an agreement when buying the club that we would not be entered into the European Super League?

I faintly remember in being mentioned plus other things.
