This is the season for them to have it; they've improved a lot lately and were well on their way to climbing into mid-table. They'll still comfortably stay up.

Hilarious that it's only November and a team that has struggled for a good chunk of the season so far has just received a 10 point deduction and they're still above that lot.

If Chelsea and Man City are punished by being relegated (I won’t hold my breath) the EFL should refuse to accept them.

 

Like that is going to happen ! I would give them massive fines then spread the money around lower league clubs.

Punishment seems harsh - surely a transfer embargo is more proportionate?

 

I don't see it as harsh, if you break the rules there is a punishment. The punishment should be such, that it puts others off, the temptation to break the rules.

Shows how low quality that league is.

Imagine 15 or 20 years ago receiving a 10 point fine. You'd have to be in the top six or you'd be fucked.

You mean like the year West Ham fielded ineligible players and didn't receive any punishment what so ever?

Also their match against us at Ewood that year was fixed. Watch the highlights and tell me with a straight face that it wasn't.

Exactly, the punishment, or lack of it, did not put clubs off breaking the rules.

Main headline on 6pm BBC news! 

Everton wont be relegated but to finish further down league will cost them. Too early to say if harsh or maybe PL are to dish out on Chelsea & City. Break the rules and they should suffer.

Aren't City facing over a 100 charges of breaking financial rules? What's happened to that?

Will it just be Everton that get punished with a points deduction? Surely they have now set the precedent and other clubs will follow.

Man City and Chelsea are the most obvious candidates but it just feels like they will both get away with it. Newcastle? Although I feel like they sold a player or 2 to comply, plus I'm sure there would be a brown envelope being passed over from there owners to avoid any real punishment, if they have breached the rules of course. Forest also spent a lot of money the other season, not sure if they should be a bit concerned?
