Any other season and I would have written us off as relegated.

This season, we will stay up and put  Two Ten fingers up at the Premier League at the end of the season.

Fixed that for you mert

It talks at the end of the reports how we essentially just carried on in the hope it would all work out.

What a way to run a multi million pound company

Well...it would. Cos this season we're looking at a profit.

They know what they were doing timing this at the international break as well.
Imagine there was a game tomorrow.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I’d love us to win the league cup and stay up now and just spend the entire victory parade slamming the PL.

Because the league are corrupt

Manchester United fined €300,000 by UEFA for breaching strict Financial Fair Play rules imposed on club - TNT Sports

Manchester United have been struck with a €300,000 (£256,785) fine by UEFA after being penalised for a Financial Fair Play (FFP) breach.

www.tntsports.co.uk

How did Man Utd get a fine by UEFA for failing FFP but get past P&S for the league ?

Same as Wolves did. They were too successful too early and breached because the threshold in UEFA is lower than the Prem.
This is what confuses people.

No we don't.

We do know that these clubs will probably employ Trump's strategy of firing lawyers and hiring new ones. Then a new period of discovery begins. But this will cost them a small fortune to play this game. No-one is taking titles and cups away from them and we also know that it isn't in the Prem's interest to put harsh penalties on them. Ours isn't that harsh to be honest. We were all led to believe it was going to be 12 pts... it's 10 and on appeal it will get reduced. It's a token penalty really but some people want to get up in arms about it and claim it's a conspiracy against Everton. It's not, other clubs have seen points deductions in the past. It's done, we appeal, we get it reduced and we still stay up regardless. Bigger things to concern ourselves with... such as developing a better team.

Just hearing from one of the football legal experts that there are serious concerns with other clubs notably Chelsea that their punishment should they be found guilty will be relegation never mind point deduction.
Slow but noticeable focus now away from Everton in the media, towards other more prominent clubs.
Normal service resuming already?

The journos better be ringing DBB constantly for comment on this. It all took place under her watch.

What does that board have to say for itself?

She was weak and completely out of her depth a totally irrelevant figure.

The blame is entirely on Moshiri and Kenwright

 

[JimmyJeffers]

We have been ran terribly and probable deserve some form of punishment. This shouldn’t distract from that.

 

[Marius57]

Well...it would. Cos this season we're looking at a profit.

Yeah, if there were other restrictions around it that we breached in the mean time, it would be fine yes

 

[jalis0n]

@Daveyduck you weren't wrong lad

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

It makes you wonder...who was on the panel.

I was actually going to ask, will the panel remain anonymous forever? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we find out they're not neutrals.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Time to start the super league and get the hell out. Only a 3 million fine for that sort of thing.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Even if we do manage to successfully appeal this, what happens?

Say it gets cut from 10 down to 5, do they just add 5 points onto our total?

 

[joebocop]

We've seen us in our very fortunate position of no injuries to key players get ourselves a decent number of points above the relegation zone. We won't sustain that luck with injuries. We needed that buffer of 8 points to survive.

I suspect we;'ll see form of the nature of the last two seasons from now on and the pressure bearing down on these players + the boost to the bottom three will see us relegated by a hand full of points.

Best case scenario is the below us remain terrible and we stay up by a point.

Our best midfielder was injured and then not fully fit for the last few games and we still got the results. We're a mid table team this year and I think we will be fine. Obviously it's a bit of unneeded stress and I wouldn't say complete implosion is completely out of the question, but I think I'm still 95% we'll be safe. We're in a far better position than we were the last few years.
