Leeds or Everton to stay up?

[Tony Currie]

For me Leeds staying up gives us a better chance of staying up ourselves next season. Plus a very juicy local derby.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Everton stay up.

I'm not saying it's brown envelopes at all. I am not saying that.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Everton because, well, it’s Leeds.

That and it’ll be fun watching the other teams suing Everton for millions if they stay up.

 

[Swannyblade]

Leeds for me, as I think we’ll perform better than them next season. I doubt Everton can be this bad again

 

[YES Blade]

Neither, Leicester to stay up

Pardon my ignorance, but why would this happen?

If there is a football God... This absolutely.
Sadly the Prem rules include an appendix ensuring Everton cannot under any circumstances be relegated. There are no limits as to how they do. But they must retain prem status.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I'd like Everton down, not because I dislike them but because it would be a novelty.

Plus I'd like a top-flight encounter with Leeds.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Was in the news the other day that the others down there are threatening legal action due to them breaching FFP. I’ll see if I can find a link

Edit

Everton 'confident' they have complied by FFP rules after Burnley and Leeds threaten legal action

Premier League rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of £105m over three years; clubs have been allowed to write off losses caused by the pandemic; in their latest accounts Everton said £170m of their losses were caused by the pandemic

I’ve always hated Leeds, but I would really like the slippery Scousers to go down.

Also, the decision to build and move to a new ground has cost the City of Liverpool World Heritage Site status. They went ahead with the whole project despite being warned that this would be the case.

 

[GVBlade]

So it would serve Everton right to start a new season in their new stadium in the Championship

And what exactly does a world heritage site listing mean for a place? It's not like they knocked down a beautiful building for it. Liverpool, the city, having a state of the art premier league ground would likely result in way more publicity than a old dock

It’s the other skyscrapers that have already caused the loss of World Heritage status.

I want Everton down as I have not forgiven them for 1994. Plus it’s about bloody time.

Very much doubt it. The history attached to "that old dock" is incredible and had imlications and impact on a global scale.
A football stadium is of no interest to anyone outside football, and a lot within it.

I don't see them ever going out of business. They may go into admin but the city of Liverpool, Liverpool FC and the football establishment would rally round and support them.

Would be good to see them given a points deduction and relegated to League One though

It's one old dock. Dock enthusiasts still have another 40 to gawp at in Liverpool. I can't say I have ever been particularly impressed by one

Not sure they did anything wrong in 1994 apart from surviving at our expense. If Seagers took a bribe, it was likely related to a betting scam, not Everton's survival.

They played a big part in the worst day of my Blades supporting life. That’s what they did wrong.

I think you're confusing Everton with Hans Segers

 

[Maidenhead]

No brainer.

Looking forward to the day that Leeds play Wednesday in National League North.

I mentioned in the shoutbox that I don't buy the idea that Everton bribed Seagers. Even if they did, they couldn't affect our result at Chelsea.

However, given the Grobbelaar revelations, I wouldn't be surprised if other keepers took money to lose games back then. Salaries weren't high at all compared to today.

Agreed.

Hans was probably paid by a far Eastern betting syndicate to ensure that Everton won.

Highly unlikely that Everton had anything to do with it.

A bit like the time that Fashinu caught the ball twice in one game against us when under no pressure.

Well coming out of Stamford Bridge i was less than pleased with Everton. I can tell you.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

It’s really difficult but I’ve voted Everton. Mainly because of their cheating past and the fact they’ve had it coming for years. I don’t like Leeds but I’m not that bothered about them. Perfect choice would be both down though.

Everton will be strong in the Championship next year, as will whoever goes down. Makes for a tough league should the pigs scrape up. I also see us taking points of Leeds in the Prem more like Han Everton.

 

[Maidenhead]

I was at Stamford Bridge that day too but I can't help but think your anger should be directed at Segers/Wimbledon.

You can hardly blame Everton for winning a game that was gifted to them.

There's also the issue of the non penalty at Blackburn that day too. Do you dislike Blackburn too for bribing the ref that day?

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Liverpool/Everton.
Can't help but remember John Ebbrell, and the stitch up by them and Howard Kendall.in 1997
Long time ago I know but still pisses me off,
Especially just now with Liverpool FC and the Brewster fiasco.......

 

[bonobo]

I don't have any animus towards Everton, because of what the Wimbledon goalkeeper did 29 years ago. I tend not to take rivalries that seriously, but with Leeds, its just those horrid away days and those fan protests recently, were bananas...not good for the game.

 

[JOEYDEE]

My wish for the season is for Brewster to be fit,and stop fit...
I'm sure there's a player in there ..

 

[reedy63]

I would prefer weeds to get relegated making us the best team in Yorkshire.
