Everton and Nottingham Forest expect to be told on Monday that they have breached the rules.

And yet Man City with a pending 115x charges are still getting away with things...

And Chelsea too!

Sheffield United have scored only 15 goals so far. It’s a step up for Hamer. He must be looking at our atmosphere at the moment and relishing the day he gets a chance to enjoy himself.

Are Everton in the shit they are in because they think they are a big club? They might be a big club support wise but success on the field is not something they have achieved in a long time.

All this falling on the floor to waste time has gone to far now and it has gone all the way down to kids football. They need to put a clock on these keepers when the ball his held by them the fourth official presses a button and it goes onto the stadium clock after six seconds a direct free kick on the edge of the box is given. I reckon within a couple of weeks it’s gone away.

I think they're in the shit because their owner thought it was just a case of chucking money at the thing without any particular plan.

I think they've been under special measures due to their recent issues so god knows how they've fallen foul of the regs if that is the case.

I'm confused how forest are there, aren't these things done over 3 years (I'm assuming in the Prem)?

Forest over spent in the 1st year back up. If they had sold Johnson 2 months before they did they would be OK. Normally money spent on ground improvements/builds are excluded from whst was spent but the PL are refusing Everton's claim on money paid for new stadium as apparently it isn't obvious it was spent solely on the new stadium.

Fair enough, I thought they did it over a 3 year period was all
(Something like a club is able to loose £105M over 3 years without penalty (which is mental)).

What Forest did the first season up was mental and it sounds like Everton are accounting creativity...

The way it works is that a club can be charged for the same year more than once as it can be in more than 1 3 year period and that is happening to Everton with this new charge. I'm not sure what the year is in question.

The '6 second' Law is still in the Laws of the Game but referees are advised against enforcing it.

I assumed it had gone, why do they not enforce it?

As above, still there but I know refs have been advised against enforcing it as it is felt that the punishment (a free kick inside the penalty area) is too severe.

In truth, 6 seconds really isn't very long, especially if there was a crowded penalty area after a set piece or similar & so advice is usually just to warn them. In my opinion, when it is clearly an act of timewasting though then fine, allow them 1 warning but then enforce when it is clear that they are massively exceeding it intentionally.

I'm all for referees being allowed some flexibility, but straight up advising refs to ignore some laws because you personally disagree with the punishment is bizarre and clearly a sign of something going badly wrong higher up the chain of command.
