Vitesse Arnhem docked 18 points and relegated from Erivedesie as they couldn't prove that Roman Abramovic had no part in affairs at the club.

Meanwhile, Chelsea still haven't given money from the sale intended for the victims of Ukraine...

Interesting to hear the silence from certain clubs' fans regarding the scrapping of FA Cup replays. You'd almost think they'd been brainwashed by their managers...

Oh, dear. Vitesse Arnhem... 👀

18 point deduction for breaching licensing rules.

There is more than one PL club who will be sweating now.

Somebody within the EFL must have been aware of the plans by the FA to scrap replays given clubs, apparently, knew nothing about it.

Could it be the same man who supported ?

Surely he wouldn't do something this stupid a second time... 😉

fans criticising John Murtough because of his poor transfer dealing was hampered by The Glazers. Dan Ashworth will have to go through Dave Brailsford AND The Glazers, who still have the final say on financial matters.

Just think about that for a minute...

Will Arteta agree, therefore, that two legs for European competitions need to come to an end? Or, do the financial rewards outweigh the needs to reduce player schedules?

Many Everton fans are wanting Sean Dyche out of the club (which I understand) and want a manager to take the club forward. However, the club needs stabilising before it can move forward and, I believe, Sean Dyche is best suited for this. Again, it shows the mess the club is in.

Wouldn't it have been advisable for the FA to fully consult with the EFL prior to announcing the abolition of replays in the FA Cup? This gives further ammunition for an independent football regulator. The FA Cup is for all - not just for a handful of clubs and the EPL to dictate

I have no pleasure in saying this, but this shows the gravity of the situation at Everton. Whatever we think of the club, this is a long-established club with real fans. No clubs should go through this, but this is the price of very poor ownership.

Some Everton fans are wondering why the club doesn't sack Dyche and his coaching staff due to woeful form in 2024. It's no real surprise, given the club's financial mess, that they can't afford to.

What has this once great club become?

I know all clubs have their fairweather fans, but did you see how many Arsenal fans left the ground even before Ollie Watkins scored Villa's second?

Fans of Liverpool and The Arse having a bit of a meltdown after today's results.

Meanwhile, look who's back at the top of the league...

It appears Everton's financial situation is worse than many thought. Administration is closer than even I was initially aware of. Irrespective of who it affects, clubs should not be run in a way that risks this.

Not good for fans or football.

I spoke to Leicester City fans prior to the season starting and they said Harvey Barnes was a bigger loss than James Maddison. After yesterday's match, does anybody disagree with that?

Micky van der Ven was touted by Spurs fans as the best defender in the Premier League.

Then, he met Alexander Isak.

The Premier League have come to an agreement with clubs on new financial rules. I think I need to have a look at these... and see who they really benefit.

If you think Man Utd aren't struggling with the current financial rules, just look at Dan Ashworth. If he's that important to their set-up, why only offer around £5m and are seemingly struggling to raise that figure?
