Financial Fair Play investigation

Status
Not open for further replies.
Whether we get “done” for this or not in the end all it seems to prove to me is what a load of anti competitive crap the FFP and P&S rules are. Even if we’d spent the money more wisely and not been so badly run we’d still be a way off the top teams. How do clubs like ours ever challenge with current the revenue streams we seem to be allowed?

Just what is the model for teams to challenge? Brighton? Top six occasionally if they are lucky. Newcastle? Going to have to stretch the rules by an incredible amount to do so within the next five years.

This is the basis for me that any legal challenge would follow, along the line of the “unfair terms act”. Argument being we are a business not being allowed to compete fairly with others due to restrictive practices being imposed on us. Wouldn’t matter that these rules were voted on by the majority of the members for it to be challenged in my view.
 
Still waiting for DBB to deliver on those commercial deals she mentioned 3 months ago that were apparently weeks away from being announced.

C'mon mate be fair the poor girl has been in a headlock for the last three months... Agree maybe the fans forum could ask her to explain what happened with those" imminent deals" she bragged about. Maybe ForeverBlue92 could explain it to us, apparently they're really close.:hayee:
 
He's not wrong about Bill to be fair, his issue is he only thinks in binary which makes it impossible to have a discussion with him. I don't think he's as bad as some in here who will be made up to see the PL destroy us, and want to troll fellow blues (in the case of the ones who are actually blues) about it. He just clearly struggles a bit socially.

I think that's fair.

Hes probably a lovely lad. But as you say, he just sees things in a very binary way, and rather than reading what is said, tries to fit it into his limited world view.

You still haven't apologised to people in this thread you accused of wanting the club penalised

You also questioned them as 'Evertonians'
 
It would be far bigger pure profit though, as their costs are lower.
Apparently we are back into profit this year. I have that on reasonable authority.
When would we know this -- e.g last year we were told that we were fine on FFP as the league had passed us lol

It would be good to have it confirmed :)


Desperately need Mina, Alli, Gomes, Gbamin off the books in the summer - that's about 400k a week for 0 minutes on the football field in return.

That's a Championship squad's salary on four players.

Think Gbamin is off the books too?

Nope another year mate.

Ive listed all those OOC in the next 2 summers in the transfer thread a few hours ago.

No idea how her qualifications ever were enough for the position. Also no clue how our commercial department can possibly be so poorly run.

It really is shocking.

kean will give us a modest profit, some of his transfer fee will have been amortised, so his book value will have been less than what they paid.
Gordon is the deal that will help most. As a home grown player, his fee will be 100% profit on the books…. Still, without selling Digne and Richie last year, we’d have lost over £100m. Which is frankly terrifying to me.
How can we splurge all that cash and be far worse? Incredible

Kean was at PSG for 1 season and now Juventus for 2 seasons.

Were selling at 28mil EUR after earning 7mil EUR for his Juventus loan fees. Not including PSG loan fee thats 35mil EUR

His book fee would have been around 5mil EUR..

The key for us is to get the stadium built and big commercial deals signed.

Also to stop signing players like Iwobi and Keane for ridiculous fees and paying silly wages.

And still do, I don't apologise for accusations I haven't taken back.

I've excluded you from that to some extent, I just think your energies here are being misused in a desire to impress and be heard.

I honestly hope you find your way Matt.
 
I'm sure they're perfectly nice people, indeed @gwladysnight has shown me real kindness in the past privately, which I remember and appreciate.

But I dont think they've made a lot of sense on this topic. You can kind of see that from the way they keep having to change what they are saying.
To be honest I'm all about cheap gags now.


Having read the accounts, I think we could very well argue this all away.

Firstl I would argue about the nature of the breach. We're in the middle of a workaround in the regulations due to a once in a lifetime pandemic. We have had transfers fall through and a key player frozen out of the game for a season limiting his sale or input to the playing side, plus loss of key sponsors which required immediate efforts to be focussed there. If we took some of that we might well be compliant and so this is only a technical failing- a small slap on the wrist. It's an asterisk breach of the P&S rules if you will.

Secondly I would mitigate the percieved losses against our cooperation with the PL and the recent sales and projectory back into compliance.

If the PL chose the fair route in judgment, I'd suspect it should be a probationary period of a couple of seasons with oversight of what Everton are doing - with a fine or potentially points reduction if we don't comply with P&S during the probationary period.

Looks tough, and would suitably punish any future breaches.






Then I'd sue everyone at CAS! lol lol lol

The only person who needs to apologise in here is you mate.

I can completely see why everyone has got irritated with you. I dont mind, as I'm sure you dont mean it nastily, but you come across as someone who knows very little, but thinks they are an expert.

That's just some friendly advice though, and I dont have an issue with you.
