Evertonians call point deduction 'disproportionate and unjust'

Everton fans discuss the point deduction the club received at the back of financial fair play breaches.

00:00 Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. I can't believe they'd want to put our club out of

00:05 the Premier League all the years we've been here and all the other clubs.

00:07 It feels like it's unjust and if 10 points is the benchmark for Everton on one charge

00:12 then it should be higher for other clubs.

00:14 I think it's disproportionate because Everton have only committed one breach of financial

00:22 fair play and when you contrast it to other clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea.

00:26 Yeah, we've got no money so it's easy. Man City aren't going to get it are they?

00:31 All the violations they've done so they'll get away with it. But the likes of us, the

00:36 dire straits we're in at the moment, they're just kicking us in the teeth.

00:39 I think Everton are lucky that the table is quite tight down the bottom and a couple of

00:45 good results will get them out of the drop zone. But they shouldn't really be in the

00:48 position in the first place because they'd put a decent run of form together initially

00:52 and to have a 10 point deduction then jumped on top of that has compounded them really.

00:57 But I think it can work in their favour because you can see it's already galvanised the fan base.

01:01 Everton are always galvanised. One team, I've been to New York, I go all over the world.

01:07 If you see another Evertonian, he's your brother, you just talk to him and that's the way it is.

01:11 It's like you've known them all your life. I've seen cop bikes, they walk past each other.

01:17 One will go the other way and they don't. But we are different.
