Supercomputer predicts league table after Everton punishment as Manchester United suffer record slump

18.11.2023 - 17:41 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

A footballing supercomputer has predicted that Manchester United will endure their worst season for over 30 years. Erik ten Hag's side have endured a torrid first few months of the campaign, losing nine of their 18 games across all competitions.

Back-to-back Premier League wins over Fulham and Luton have lifted them into sixth for now, but neither performance was convincing.

It's been a tough few months for United and a supercomputer provided by Bettingexpert is predicting things to get worse. According to their calculations, the Reds look set finish in eighth on 58 points.

That would be United's lowest-ever Premier League finish and their worst campaign since 1989/1990, a year that saw Sir Alex Ferguson's side finish 13th, their second bottom-half finish in a row.

Everton appeal against 10-point Premier League penalty

LIVERPOOL: Everton submitted their appeal on Friday against a 10-point deduction handed down by the Premier League for breaches of financial sustainability rules. The Toffees have reacted furiously after being hit with the toughest sporting sanction in Premier League history for breaching loss-making limits in the 2021/22 season. Clubs in the English top flight are allowed to lose a maximum £105 million ($130 million) over a three-year period after allowable deductions are removed. An independent commission found that the Merseyside club had lost £124.5 million for the revelant period. “Everton Football Club has today lodged with the chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel its appeal of the decision by a Premier League Commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the club,” Everton said in a statement “An appeal board will now be appointed to hear the case.” The sanction has plummeted Everton into the relegation zone and put their 70-year stay in the English top-flight at risk. “We were stunned, I think football was stunned, by the outcome of the 10 points so who knows what comes next?” Everton boss Sean Dyche said ahead of Saturday’s trip to Nottingham Forest. “The way it is sounding from the noise out there it is not just about us, there will be others looked at possibly over time.
