6 + 2 Point Deductions

[Lapeno77]

Thought they'd drag it on a bit longer. Wasn't a week, was it?

 

[Harryflashman]

Allowing them to spend more. Just bowing down to them and Allowing them to further get away with it.

I’m not even bothered any more , it’s farcical. we walked in (without even statements from ceo & cfo) and spilled our guts with our alleged supersilk in attendance and got well and truly hammered .

Pretty much everyone since and took them on , little old Everton , the self styled best run club in the league Threw themselves on the mercy of the prem and took a hiding . The premier league have embarrassed themselves at every turn since , the league is no longer competitive or even attempting to appear fair .

Joke

and some said they would get relegated with the charges

This has nothing to do with the 115 charges.

 

[Lee Smith]

isn’t that what usmanov would of done?

Given the chance, almost certainly. They basically did with the USM sponsoring of Finch Farm etc

 

[matty1878]

This has nothing to do with the 115 charges.

well they will be getting away with them

 

[chrismpw]

No agreed to the punishment

I think you made the mistake of taking me seriously!

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Can TFG pursue damages?

 

[mikel_88]

well they will be getting away with them

Did you really think they would get punished

This isn't linked to their ongoing case of 115 charges from the PL (not totally anyway). This is to do with Associated Party Transactions, basically where a company owned by a club owner sponsors the football club a huge amount etc (Etihad with City, USM with us etc).

Could be good news for us, if it means Friedkin can now lob a ton of cash at us through their associated companies as 'sponsors'

Exactly, very good news and means Freidkin can basically sponsor us for whatever they like.

It’s not good news for us. It would be a disaster.

 

[blueblueskies]

Not sure it’s particularly bad news for us but it is very good news for Newcastle

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Not sure it’s particularly bad news for us but it is very good news for Newcastle

Don’t know how many times this has to be said, anything that benefits teams like Newcastle and City is very unlikely to be good for us. There are multiple teams with better access to commercial revenues that will use rules like this to further widen the gap. People are deluded to think otherwise.

The only thing that would benefit us would be if they all left for the super league.

 

[catcherintherye]

It’s not good news for us. It would be a disaster.

Why would it be a disaster?

 

[matty1878]

It’s not good news for us. It would be a disaster.

explain why?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Why would it be a disaster?

There is no suggestion that the new owners have any desire to pump tonnes of cash into us via back door routes like this. Other teams with far greater access to capital will use this to further bend the rules and pull away.

The only chance everton have of ever being successful again in my lifetime is either some insanely rich benefactor buying us who wants to spend tonnes of cash as part of a vanity project or by slow and sensible growth with the ability to catch teams ahead of who are having to work under some sort of spending restrictions.

The idea that the removal of those restrictions would benefit us is deluded
