Everton and Liverpool have been charged for failing to control their players during Wednesday's heated finalé to the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park and Arne Slot is facing censure for his conduct to refer Michael Oliver.
The BBC report:
"The clubs have been charged with failing to ensure their players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way" after the final whistle.
"Liverpool head coach Slot is charged with having acted "in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour" towards referee Michael Oliver and one of his assistants, which led to the Dutchman being red-carded."

Tony, you forgot to mention that Liverpool will be crowned champions with immediate effect, on the grounds that nasty Everton really, really upset them.

So that will be a 20 point deduction for us. And a 100 million £ fine. And we can’t sign players for the next 10 years. We may as well hold on to Young then. Ah well, we’ve had worse days.
And they get awarded the points. And a 20 point start to next season.
We can’t be putting it up them, they don’t like it.
Just joking folks, you have to laugh at this nonsense.
But this is all just handbags at 40 paces, or whatever the saying is. It was an emotional match. Emotions shown by everyone. Great to see from our players.
No one was hurt. Move on.
But the premier league can’t. They need to be seen to do something. Last derby at Goodson, emotions high, decent result for us, and the premier league can’t let it go. Is every flare up from players in all matches now going to see charges brought. It’s a nonsense imo.

Just for a giggle, I’ve visited several RS fan sites since Wednesday. Good fun, they’re having a mega fume claiming Oliver has got it in for them, the Premier League are doing everything they can to stop them from being Champions, Doucoure should be banned for life….and it’s even funnier on YouTube.

Any ideas what the potential penalty will be?
27 point deduction? Dismantlement of new stadium? Removal of EFC from entire history of football?
