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?!
