WestYorksRoyalWho Moved The Goalposts?WestYorksRoyal This. Everton have chosen a great season for the punishments because the 3 promoted teams are so poor and Dyche is a good manager. Any of the last 2 seasons, this would have been fatal.
PL have set a precedent here though. The City case is bigger and more complicated. If they get off lightly at the end of it, the PL will need to explain why.
City will get off scot free. It will have nothing to do with justice, fairness or legality but everything to do with money, power and influence, of which the owners have an almost unlimited supply.
There is an independent commission who publish their rulings. If City get off, the reasoning has to stand up to public scrutiny.
What gets me is how the PL have let City's offences rack up year on year for almost a decade before taking any interest. I'd be looking to fine/sanction them just for being in a state where so many charges could be levied let alone whether they're actually guilty of any or not.
