Everton supporters launched a GoFundMe page on Friday, to raise cash for banners protesting the decision to dock the club 10 points. In just two hours it had raised £10,000. And little wonder.
The stunning lack of proportionality displayed by the Premier League — an organisation which imposed no sanction whatsoever on the so-called ‘Big Six’ for their European Super League conniving and hit Portsmouth with a lesser sanction than this for going into administration in 2010 — is only a part of the travesty.
The fundamental scandal resides in the fact that Everton have cooperated with the Premier League — virtually to the point of prostrating themselves — in the past two years.
