    I’m not an Everton fan, although I’ve been rooting for them to avoid relegation. Given COVID and losing an expensive player to criminal charges (which were later dropped) this seems like a ridiculously large penalty. Are we really supposed to believe that 20 mm pounds over multiple years (which you could argue were for a player who never played - not Everton’s fault) resulted in some kind of unfair advantage? A 10-point advantage?!

    Wait, is Carragher now gonna get sanctioned by the League for speaking ill will and bringing the league’s decision making into disrepute?

      I’m pretty sure what Arteta got sanctioned for was something he signed off in his contract. Jamie works for sky not the premier league.

      So unless he’s ranting about his sky box going up by 15 quid a month he’s fine to say what he likes

    Imagine supporting one of those six clubs that basically planned to leave the league and cups without any punishment, see how they get special treatment and all success somewhat scripted, but give opinions on an actual football club getting punished

    FFP is designed to do this, they spend less than the big 6 teams but get punished because their revenue is lower. No way for Everton to ever compete with Liverpool like City did with United.

    This is such a dangerous comment, attacking the PL’s impeccable financial investigators. Does Carragher not realise he is at risk of bringing the game into disrepute?!??!???

    And yet another piece of proof that Carragher is the worst pundit out there. He’s been on quite a roll these last few weeks. What a moron.

    I have nothing against Everton, but from the outside, they’re one of those teams that just make the numbers up in Prem.

    I feel it’s for this reason, they are being used as a warning sign to other clubs.

    Well in a world where our officials are moonlighting in countries that own PL clubs and then those clubs get decisions in their favour, is it hard to believe that Everton are rightly getting punished but Man City will almost certainly escape with a slap on the wrist?

    This happening to Everton is like beating a limping horse. Its not like they massivley exploited the rules to gain advantage. They just shit with money
