An incredible amount of time , effort and covert planning went into the European Super League project. Which club was the cheerleader condemning it? Which club is now the subject of a vendetta? Who is pulling Richard Masters strings?

@EFC_FanAdvisory @EvertonHeritage @EFC_FansForum @EdsaEfc @ELFCFans @NAToffees When West Ham gained a direct sporting advantage over the Tevez affair , it was accepted by the PL that a points deduction would harm the fans , so they gave them a £5.5m fine. Why do Everton fans not matter to them?

@CitizenSuburbia It’s definitely worth appealing, even if we are safe the extra points could be worth Potentially £6m. Also, we should appeal that losing points is a double punishment on the first charge . Prize money lost is an additional punishment, seemingly not acknowledged as yet.

@KieranMaguire @martynziegler What defines a “major spending breach” ? Shall we say anything more than £20m ? So in that case Everton (19.5m) would escape with a fine , whilst Forest (34.5m) still get a points deduction. The point is that it’s wide open to inconsistency and possibly corruption.
