They didnt ignore anything. They sold two players for 100m to redress their P&S. And the club still has to function on the playing field. What were they supposed to do, Just chuck in the towel?
The whole club shouldnt be apologising for anything, other than being crap at recruitment selection. Hardly any clubs in their precious league operate in the black.

Gtfck.
The premier league were determined to find us guilty no matter what, so they hardly took any mitigating circumstances into consideration. They wanted an example of being able to police themselves, they got it with Everton.
