1 year agoEverton overspent by £19.5, which is peanuts in today’s game. And, if you read the report there are circumstances around new stadium interest payments, players being arrested, and a few little gambles that didn’t pay off.
Everton are no doubt in violation of sustainability rules, but it’s hardly in the nature of ‘financial doping’ or deliberate rule breaking.
I can only speak for myself, but it seems odd the punishment for literally going into administration is less severe than ‘being a bit shit with money’.
I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, and as such I agree Everton should face a sanction of some sort. But my opinion is that 10 points (again, more than for going into administration) is a little harsh.
