Graham Taylor was cited in a writing in the Sunday People on December 3, p. 50 and 5, asking what is truly going on as the repercussions from Everton’s point deduction continue.
The Daily Mail said on December 1st that Leeds, Leicester, and Burnley have decided to drop their lawsuits after an appeal was filed.
In his final words, he wrote: A number of relegated clubs have opted to engage in direct negotiation rather than pursue legal action against Everton over their financial breaches.
In the well-known words of Graham Taylor: What kind of situation is this?
Why?
What is happening?
It is typical for the fans to be kept in the dark during any legal process, with no concrete information released until a sudden response.
That was the case with the point deduction, and it appears that the appeal and the specifics of this possible conflict with other clubs are causing it to happen once more.
One advantage is that it seems the idea to sue the Toffees is dead, so any settlement would have to be approved by everyone, which would put the power in their hands.
That is only applicable if there is any compensation at all, which may not occur in the event that the appeal is granted in the upcoming months.
Similar to the takeover and waiting for news, it is agonizing because, should anything go wrong, the club’s survival may be in jeopardy—not that it will.
One thing going for them right now is that Everton is playing well and would be in the top half but for the deduction, which should lessen the chance of relegation.

According to football.london, Ben Godfrey is anticipated to depart Everton during the January transfer window after Sean Dyche forced him out of the starting lineup.
The news source stated on November 30 that the 25-year-old defender will have his departure approved by the Blues next month, which will be less than three years after he arrived from Norwich for £20 million.
Ninety-min stated on November 8th that Godfrey is being pursued by Rangers, Tottenham, and Newcastle.
Outcast
It won’t be a shock to see Godfrey playing for someone else by the time February comes around.
The ex-Norwich man has played just one minute of Premier League football this season, which came against Sheffield United back in September.
He is obviously out of the picture because Dyche, rightfully, prefers other defenders to him despite the fact that he has significantly improved the Blues’ rearguard since moving to Goodison Park less than a year ago.
What is unexpected, though, is the roster of teams that are supposedly interested in him.
There are undoubtedly better players on the radars of Spurs and Newcastle than someone who is fighting for playing time at a relegation-threatened team.
In contrast, Rangers are unlikely to be able to pay both the wages the defender would likely demand and what Everton would want for Godfrey.
He should sign with a Premier League team in the middle of the standings if he departs in January.
The Toffees wouldn’t let him go to a potential relegation rival, so maybe someone like Brentford or West Ham would come in for him.
