To begin with they have to make sure that those ex-players never ref any of their ex-clubs or ex-clubs rivals because everyone with just question their motives.
Secondly I have no idea why people believe ex-players would make good refs..
Seriously you just have to listen to many off them on Skysports, Talksport, BBC, various podcasts that the vast majority of them are morons
Yeah, I'd be calling Social Services..
Forcing a child to watch Everton has got be classed as a cruel act...
Poor child....
Loving how so many people are completely disregarding that Everton ADMITTED guilt..
They cooked the books and ADMITTED it...
Now you can say the punishment is harsh but ultimately the situation is completely different to that if Man City and Chelsea..
Once again this sub shows just how hypocritical and stupid football fans are..
They cry when the PL don't punish clubs who break the rules and when a club ADMITS they broke the rules they complain about them being punished..
Now the PL has shown some balls this mean going foward if Man City and Chelsea are found guilty they also will most likely face a point penalty..
People need to stop saying "What about Man City or Chelsea" because your just making yourselves look stupid.
Everton are guilty of breaching FFP, end off of discussion.
They admitted to the Independent Commission that they were guilty of breaching FFP, Everton were trying to justify why they did and the Commission judged they were full of shite and gave them a 10 point penalty.
This case hasn't just happened, it's been going for years.
The PL were working with Everton to help them avoid breaching FFP yet Everton still went ahead and over spent.
As for Chelsea and City, their cases are in orders of magnitude more complex.
Man City have denied any wrong doing and are using their virtually unlimited funds to throw lawyers to contest every single aspect of the PL case against them.
