Everton: Alan Stubbs cannot comprehend what has happened as the Goodison appeal ruling is shared.
Alan Stubbs has stated that he is “sick” of how long the Everton 10-point deduction appeal has taken.
On the BBC’s The Football News Show (16 February, via BBC Sport), the analyst stated that the Toffees’ points deduction caused
“a lot of bewilderment” among the footballing world. The verdict also caused “anger and animosity” among the club’s supporters.
He stated that supporters are “sick of how long it’s taking” because their appeal has yet to be heard after being informed it would
be made by the middle of February.
“There was a lot of bewilderment from a lot of people within football and outside when the initial penalty of 10 points was given,” Stubbs remarked.
“There was a lot of rage and animosity among Everton fans. Realistically, Everton fans are sick of it. We’re sick of how long this is taking. It’s a long process.
“We were told it was going to be the middle of February, and then Wednesday or today, but there is still no news.”
Everton fans deserve answers
Everton fans surely deserve to know what is going on at their club and whether the 10-point deduction appeal was successful.
While the Toffees’ hierarchy may have made mistakes, it is the fans who are most likely to suffer in the long run because they will
be left to pick up the pieces if things do not go as planned this season.
The appeal verdict could determine whether they will remain in the Premier League next season, given they are currently in relegation zone.
The uncertainty about their future is not good for anyone, and there is no reason why this process has been going on for so long.
There should be answers in the coming days, but Blues fans will be hoping for a positive outcome after what they’ve been through in recent years.
