6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Dublin blue 75]

Premier League annoyance aside.

Really, really need to sort out the financials. Get rid of majority of the higher earners. reduce that wage bill considerably. Stop buying over-priced shabite.

To the extent there are some limited funds available, they need to go into supporting the academy and (cheaper cost) scouting resources. That's our future.

It's a mess. And we happen to have the worst accountant in the world as our owner.

mad innit

Everton have to finish at least 16th to stay up this season even the might not be enough.

 

[Nymzee]

that’s not the answer i crave

Matty, no one has an answer for you, no one knows anything. Just pretend we're not appealing and move forwards. It can't be any more than the 2 it currently is.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

That pending investigation over the interest will be used to blag their way out of the 6 point deduction making zero sense to anyone. PL will concede that we were harshly treated in the first charge, and in return will cease trying to punish further over the interest.

2 points as I was expecting.... so that means the independent commissions are truly independent. Especially when it comes to reason, because we now have 4 different conclusions, which must mean the rules are made up and the points dont matter.

The consequences regarding deductions should have been outlined and made clear when it was introduced. I have no doubt our circus of a board never even considered we would get a deduction but to get 4 separate point outcomes for 4 separate hearings is telling.

Today -8
Tomorrow: City and Chelsea hit with luxury tax.

We can live with a two point deduction. It’s done now and the players can put all this aside and get back to winning ways….

[MichaelEFC96]

So they wanted 15 in total??

They wanted 12 for the first one

Our wage bill was 95% + in the years we are being punished. All of those players we bought were being amortized in the years we were punished.

We are being punished because we spent too much on players and did not take in enough revenue to cover it.

Just because the transactions didn't occur in those years doesn't mean the expenses didn't.

You won’t get any argument from me on how badly we have been run, but the game is slanted: the whole process of being competitive now depends on how much you earn from a matchday. So Man U for example can afford to keep buying duds, shrug when it goes wrong, and then the following summer spend another £80m on a player, meanwhile we need to sell Onana and Branthwaite, and that’s even if we stay up. It’s a fiasco.

 

[matty1878]

What?

he’s not a fan of maths

 

[smileychap]

In short, we're out of the drop zone with better fixtures than Luton and Forest struggling.

Also Sean needs to have these lads revved up like 'kin caged lions now there's nowt hanging over us that isn't in our own hands to fix.

What a weird statement. We’re happy with how all this went. We’re going to appeal.
