Didn't think you could get multiple point deductions in a season. Had a quick look at their fixtures and they should still be ok. 

 

Yeah 

 

The Premier League messed up and basically have caught up this season. 

 

Everton should have had their first points deduction last season. Which would have relegated them.

 

Meanwhile Leicester being in Championship will get their likely points deduction next season after also benefitting from their massive overspending.

If they (the EPL/FA want to deter this sort of rule breaking then make the sentences draconian. If found guilty then automatic relegation to the league below and a forfeiture of TV money including the "parachute payments).

Its extreme, but I support it. 

 

I hate the term "Financial Doping" because its what Hibs fans cried and cried about with us, however, its an apt enough description. If you cannot live within your means and are overspending to compete, then you are financially doping... basiclaly cheating and perhaps if it was treated as such then it would be a firm enough stance to stop the nonsense.

 

They need to get wage caps involved. Clubs are being backed by literal ****ing nations now, and thats beyond the pale.

The new regulations looking at something like wages being 60% of turnover. That would fix a lot of issues. Clubs in English Championship typically at 120% wages to turnover.

It's all down to that twat Jimmy hill getting the wage cap removed decades ago.

Chinny arsehole killed football.

Speaking of ridiculous finances, I read that Leeds owe £190m in transfer fees to other clubs, £74m of which is due by June this year. 
 

If they don’t get promoted they must be in deep trouble again.

Everton owe £500 million to 'third party lenders".

Paqueta to Man City is back on. So concerns about him betting must have given enough reassurance. 

Hmm.

If the betting gets proven, he will sign for Newcastle.:whistling:

Had to check that. Bonkers but I suppose they feel they can service the debt (nearly £500k per month!)

Spurs and Villa are very similar, better than the bulk of the Prem, but don't have that level to go to difficult away grounds and do a job, even if in a dirty fashion. Both will need to add in the summer to maintain a top 6 spot next year.

It was only a few weeks ago people on here were telling us it was a shoo in that his last game in charge was going to be winning the Europa League in Dublin. No two ways about it, nobody in that tournament could even touch them as a team. (I do think they can turn it around against Atalanta though)

palace should be 2-0 up, robertson with a goal line clearance.

 

If the game was at anfield v atalanta i would agree but i dont see liverpool scoring 3 in italy.

Curious one whether the Liverpool fan protests about ticket price increases (flag boycott on Thursday) are affecting the players

The fansprotest about ticket prices, but they still demand top players who cost millions in transfer fees and wages

Fair play to Liverpool for making the title race even closer.

 

Maybe need to sack Klopp now though. 

 

First home league defeat in 18 months.

I only caught 15 mins of the Liverpool game on Sky, but couldn't believe how the commentator was basically willing Liverpool to score. Haha.

I was being sarcastic. How many years have we seen the best team from the ‘best league in the world ever ever’ somehow failing to win European trophies?
