They will get a point deduction so that they can survive in the PL. I expect 30 points.

I would be well up for another trip down a few leagues. Last time it was great fun at away days.

I think they’ll do like 50, because it seems like a palatable number and with their win rate, and this years bottom loss rate, they’d still be comfortably in the league but out of Europe

I just can’t see a 50 point deduction happening and it doesn’t address the fact they cheated over multiple seasons, if found guilty.

They'd probably still qualify for the CL.

I'm hoping for mandatory relegation and a player exodus.

That would have dropped them to 8th last season... nowhere near enough.

There is only one appropriate punishment for this: for every season they cheated they must going forward be managed by Tim Sherwood.

If Everton was hit with 10 points for ONE violation, there's no way 30 is sufficient for 100+ violations.

Fines + relegation is the only recourse. Not to mention Everton cooperated fully with the investigation and didn't stall for years. If the PL wants to maintain ANY credibility in terms of their financial rules, they have to bring the hammer down hard here.

Big if...

Assets should be seized (including trophies), all award money should be distributed to other clubs, and owner should be replaced immediately after verdict IF found guilty.

Biggest thing apart from the sheer number of allegations is that city have blocked and obfuscated at every opportunity.

Everton complied with the investigation and even volunteered some information and got 10 points. City should have the book thrown at them. But ofc they won't
