- Re: Looks like a definite points deduction for Forest and Everton
Not looking at the specific numbers of the Everton case but hypothetically, you could be in a position whereby you lost £100m in Year 1, £10 million in each of year 2 and 3, giving you a rolling number of £120 million such that you are in breach. If you in year 4 you again spend £100m, you are once again in breach but to argue that your two 'quiet' years have already been punished should surely not be a defence.
In a normal situation, I would say that an increased penalty should be issued for a repeat offender but given the nuance of this year being 'transitional' and having two years worth of accounts being considered in the same season, I think that would be harsh on Everton. Whilst yes they knew they were in breach the first year when they did it again, they did not know the penalty. To then say, well you have not learnt would be a tad harsh.
