6 + 2 Point Deductions

Any Evertonian cheering this news just wants some gulf state to come in and take over, give the stadium some dodgy name for $500m and buy success.
I had huge problems with Kenwright, and clearly Usmanov and Moshiri screwed up with money but backing City and their model is about the most un Everton thing I can think of.

That said.
Backing the billionaire model while we dont have a pot to pee in is about the most Everton thing ever!

Deciding what is and isn’t ‘Everton’ isn’t very Everton

This is exactly what FB92 wants. Ultimately its the only was to achieve success in football now. Leicester, Brighton, Southampton, Wolves, Everton etc have all tried other avenues and have all hit the proverbial glass ceiling.

Villa will have this season and maybe next before Watkins, Diaby, Emery etc are snatched and they fall back down the table. The system is designed to keep everyone else outside the existent big 6 out of the conversation for sustained periods of success.

You'll never see another period of Everton under Kendall, or Forest under Clough.

Key word is "expected" which is probably the media being mischievous.

I hope we do though, would hopefully open up the door for gulf state investment into the club who likely are put off by the current rules.

Would be peak Everton luck to end up with some crackpot US owner, then City win their legal case down the line and someone like West Ham or Spurs end up with Qatari owners - right place right time.

Mosh was trying to fob us off during the world cup and got sent packing.

No gulf state want us.

Cant believe I'm going to reply to someone who refers to themself in the third person and thinks Benitez was a great manager.

There needs to be proper PL/indy oversight for the league. Centralized sponsorship/kit contracts. A salary cap. A genuine chance for every team to compete.
Transparent rules re. spending and sponsorship.
City are literally citing the "tyranny of the majority". They're spelling it out.

City win this case and yea, Everton might be a more saleable prospect but city get their 115 cases thrown out because there's a new precedent.
Money will pour in to the petroclubs.
Every other club will live off the scraps thrown down by the petroclubs for sales.
Academies and grass roots will suffer as mega clubs use the international multi club system rather than the domestic system.
The gap between the championship and the PL will become totally unbridgeable.
The league will suffer.
Other clubs and fans will look at us just the way we looked at the scab 6.

Got to remember Kenada that at the time of the WC Moshiri only wanted investment not a full sale. Now he wants out completely and there is more stability at the club in terms of having survived the points deductions / the stadium nearly financed hopefully some further interest appears in the coming period.

Personally I dont believe we'll get dream new owners but hopefully we get at least someone very wealthy who could make a difference if FFP was eased in some capacity.

Another Usmanov type character but with the foresight to put in place a clever chairman to run the club would be marvelous.

None of this will happen when the big 6 want all the pie to themselves. I also dont believe Government intervention is the answer either.

Remember.... Manchester City's owners have colluded with the British Government and Boris Johnson forced through the PIF takeover of Newcastle. They are no less corrupt than Masters & the PL.
