dyche done a good job, would have been very harsh for them to go down
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They’ve not when in 11 matches and conceded in injury time to 10 man Brighton at the weekend. They are re drawing their way to safety and are incredibly faaaacking boring.

I’d much rather Luton or Forest stay up, both sides go for it and are more entertaining, Dyche ball is eye bleedingly bad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Forest have faaacking Nuno in charge they're hardly playing champagne football

Luton too play a very similar style to Everton, very direct and physical. Bit of a myth that Dyche is some dinosaur compared to the other teams down the bottom, they have 5 games with at least 20 shots this season. Forest and Luton have one combined
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Everton, Forest and Luton have each played 8 games since Nuno took over at Forest, goals scored looks like this in those 8 games

Everton - a massive 5
Defensive Nuno’s Forest - 15
Agricultural Luton - 17

It’s night and day in terms of entertainment. All Everton do is launch it into the box every chance they get. Forest play some great counter attack football, more impressively the 15 goals they have scored have mostly been without their best striker Awoniyi who has been injured.

Luton are very direct, but they do it in a rather open way, sending lots of players up to support the front man rather than relying on set pieces and defending their 18 yard box all game.

From an entertainment perspective I would love Everton to drop, they are a terrible watch

is a myth, dyches everton are top 3 for high turnovers and pressing from the front? Dyche burnley played better football than ive seen Kompany burnley play so far too, by a long shot, his teams can put some plays together but obviously firstly comes the organisation etc with dyche.

was a liverpool fan the other day trying to call Brentfords frank a pulis cause he played for set pieces vs us. He couldnt be further from it his teams mix it up more than any in the league, hes just not afraid to focus on using their teams best chances.

Such bullshiiiiit, it really is. Can't help but think this reduction is the first sign that the PL are blinking or, more likely, they know that they can't come down like a ton of bricks on City to avoid losing their prized asset so they're going soft on Everton as a pre-cursor to going soft on City for consistency.

Absolute cowards.

We need independent regulation. The PL cannot efficiently police itself because it has too much to lose should the status quo change. FFP directly contradicts their want to market the PL as the dominant force in world football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to be clear, this isn’t the PL doing anything. They were upheld by the appeals commission in every th int they said. What the appeals committee have said is that the independent commission erred in its findings against bad faith (as it wasn’t alleged in the first place) and also the proportionality of the sanction.

The commission and appeals committee both already are independent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Come on, don't be naive. The PL would know who's on the appeals committee and I doubt very much it's as independent as they'd have you believe. Just like any inquiry, there's always examples of strong-arming, particularly from a colossus like the PL. Happens in politics all the time so I've no doubt the same is true in sport.

I promise you, when we finally hear the punishment for City on their charges, the football world will be shocked at the light sanctions, which will no doubt be even lighter once the appeal process has gone through.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you actually read either of the reports? Which judgment do you specifically have issue with?

Pressing from the front is great if you have good attacking players who can do something with it - Everton cannot, they press, they win it, they either give it away or they go backwards - it really is their first line of defence.

I don’t care about long ball vs tiki taka - play to your strengths. I find Luton’s long ball quite exciting a bit like Stoke in their heyday, they are very good at it and it unsettles sides.

The only time Everton unsettle teams is when they have a set piece, otherwise it’s aimless balls over the top with loads of running - it’s faaacking boring.

And Morgan Gibbs White makes Forest worth the admission price on his own, I hope whoever buys him in the summer is a team that will play him often and not have him sat on a “big” teams bench

That's madness. There's absolutely no way Dyche's Burnley side play better football than Kompany's, particularly last year. Dyce had one way of playing and it was to try and bully the opposition and pump long balls into the mixer in the hope that Wood and Barnes would get some knockdowns. That was it. They were a feckin horrible watch. It worked but it was a horrible watch. That's not football in my book but each to their own. I'd rather see them go down because that brand of football feels archaic to me. He probably has more athleticism at Everton which is why he's able to press from the fornt a bit more. As good as Wood and Barnes were at their job, they were never the type to chase and run the channels. He's not been there for very long. Over time I guarantee you, he'll go for a big man up top and he'll rely on McNeil to cross from deep. He knows it works so I think he'll turn Everton into Burnley with enough time. Awful. He's just another Pulis.

Thank you, I thought I was living in another dimension. I cannot see the appeal of Everton’s football at all, it’s shiete lump it into the box stuff and play for knock downs. They aren’t even very good at it, they rarely get enough players forward to support the attack, even when they win by pressing high up, they have nowhere to go but backwards.

It is an effective style, they would have scraped enough points to stay up without the deduction/s. Faaack me though, as soon as they are past this financial issue Dyche will be out on his aerse, they won’t continue to put up with that football

Burnley are awful to watch, they have about 20 less expected goals than Everton this season


Everton give most sides a game and are usually competitive, the fact Burnley knock it about a bit doesn't make up for the fact they get played off the park most weeks.

stylistically Everton are probably most comparable with Brentford, but Dyche is a dinosaur and Frank is a great tactician apparently

Its high energy, high commitment, defend in numbers, get the ball forward fast and feed off the knock downs & set pieces.

As Spurs found out its not the easiest to counter when then are on their game. They stop you playing and defend deep and with all back and really test you physically, especially with the high ball.

It's shamlessly direct, doesnt really take much coaching IMO, but as said does add a new "Pulis' Stoke-esque" challenge to a league that is dominated by more modern tactics.

I think the outcome ref today’s decision is pretty much what most people were expecting, and seems about fair.
The next question is regarding the next charge for the Toffees and Forest.
As a yard stick, and assuming that both overspends are in the same category, is it likely that Everton will get a further 3 point deduction, as repeat offenders, and Forest a ‘suspended’ 3 points, as its their first offence,
Similar to the Everton decision on their first charge.
Hopefully, Everton will be able to comply for the next set of accounts, and everybody will start with a clean slate.
As for the Man City charges, doubtful they will ever see the light of day, they’ll just keep getting buried deeper and deeper.

I thought that was their first charge but took 2 Years to bring to justice and hence the rule change this Year with December 31 the cut off point?

Had the Premier not dithered they'd be in the Championship now where they belong.

I hope they get worse for repeat offending while Forest should get the Minimum 6 points.

I would be surprised if Everton don’t get another 6 points and if Forests are suspended - what message does it send to give a suspended point sentence - they will def be deducted.

Question is how many, I reckon it could be 3 for Forest and 6 for Everton as it is a repeat offence.

Not sure how much of a deterrent it is though - if I was Newcastle I would seriously consider an couple of seasons of massive over expenditure to become more competitive in a shorter amount of time

My understanding is 6 points is the Minimum and Today's appeal seem to have set that as the benchmark, I expect them both to get 6 points which will probably allow them both to stay up with the odd win here and there until the end of the Season.

Luton have the kindest remaining fixtures - 5 very winnable home games, including at home to Everton and Forest. A couple of away games where they stand a chance of picking up a win and a draw also.

If Luton won 4 and drew a couple of their last 13, then after a points deduction of 6 points Forest would need a minimum of 5 wins and a draw to survive from 12 remaining games - very tough
