Brilliant.

I don't really buy that - it's just low-hanging fruit to me.

The Times needed a story that was different and threw it forward. Everton's accounts, like every other club's accounts, will be looked at and audited by the PL in March next year. That will be for the 3-year period between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2023.

Everton are well in the clear when it comes to transfer fees in that period and will have cut down massively on wages, as the report states was the one accepted mitigating factor this time around.

But it's a story that's come out of nothing but is obviously based in common sense.

Yes, but its presentation is the issue: the way they've allowed that mundane matter of fact be weaponised yearly assessment to fire at Everton. That was the substance (the 'something') I spoke of.

I don’t understand why people think you have to pick a side between the club and the league. It’s obvious that we’re in this position because of our idiotic cowboy of an owner, but that doesn’t mean that the scale of the punishment we’ve received is right and fair. Why people have to make everything a black or white issue I don’t know.

Yeah I don't get this either. There are two very different questions we're looking at.

Do we deserve a punishment if they've found we broke the rules? Yes

Does the punishment we've been handed meet the crime? Absolutely not

If we had been docked a couple of points, I'd have still found it harsh but we'd have had to take it on the chin. And I accept that the idea of a sporting sanction like points will act as more of a deterrent than a fine. But 10 points is a totally ridiculous punishment, has no precedent at all, and is clearly unfair.

When did we officially receive the Moise Kean money? Just thinking about this then, if he hadn’t been sent on a stupid two year loan and it was just a one year loan with an obligation to buy, would we have received that money in 2021/22 and therefore been under the threshold?

The scab 6 definitely didn't want to leave the PL .

They wanted their cake and to eat it

They wanted to be part of the so called ESL and PL.

It would have been filtered down over a few years if it was successful. The PL would have been used like sides use the carabao cup and rested players for their closed shop league.
They just massively read the room wrong that nobody wanted it. The scabby fcks.

If Chelsea & Man City are guilty we would have prize money for 2 extra places for 3 years which would be £12m approx. I think of the alleged £19m so how can they work out our actual overspend until all outstanding investigations covering the period are completed?

in fact perhaps the table should be reworked form each of the years in question excluding Man City & Chelsea & the prize money reallocated accordingly to work out any overspend.

I have never wished i lived in Liverpool more than currently. Id be hanging up these kinds of banner with the franticness of a squirrel harvesting nuts for winter.

Hard for any of us to know. When the transfer when through the financials will probably have depended on the terms of the contract. It could have gone through the accounts before all the money was paid - this is common where deals are paid in instalments.

Burnley and Leeds are both owned by American investors. If there is money to be had out of us (which would ease their own financial concerns) you'd imagine they'll try their luck, the wider sporting context probably won't even register in their thinking.

Saints and Leicester, goodness only knows.

Leeds will have all the details they need to sue too, even non public stuff.

Exactly. We've had terrible owners. That's for sure. They've spent unwisely to say the least.

But the punishment handed out to Everton is arbitrary and heavy handed...and corrupt in the sense that we all KNOW and the whole of football KNOW that it was designed to head off a government watchdog cleaning house for the PL.

We are the scapegoats. If there's any Evertonian who cant see that then they're self-hating...or just taking the piss.

Oh I completely agree.

By the scab 6 plotting to join the ESL they were in effect plotting to destroy the PL.

I really wish the PL would have had the balls to expel them at the time.

It would have been for the long term good of the competition but would have caused massive short term problems / losses

Not sure it matters when the cash was received. That helps or hinders cash flow. I think the wording of the agreement would determine how the payment would be accounted for and in which seasons

 

[PhilEFC]

I see our good friend Matt Hughes has reared his very ugly head again with a story about Tottenham being unhappy with us for saying they underpaid for Richarlison.

 

[Melchizedek]

Yes, Graeme Sharp would have had this situation sewn up by now!

Should have never put his name on that bedsheet. Now look at us.
