Financial Fair Play investigation

[Swagger]

Does anyone know how FFP actually works?

Depending on which sources you use, once Moise Kean is sold Everton will have a net spending of circa £115 million over the past 5 years and circa £160 million the 5 years prior to that. A total of circa £275 million over the past 10 years. Chicken feed compared with most Premier League clubs.

Net spend has zero impact on FFP.

Evertons biggest problem is its wages to income ratio.

Newcastle have just qualified for the champions league, so the powers that be won't be thinking about us any more.

FFP was designed to stop teams like Newcastle gatecrashing the party, so their focus will now be on how to get rs and chelsea back in, and Newcastle out

In layman terms ffp basically means you can’t spend more money than the club makes unless it’s 105 mil over budget over a 3 year period

So if the club makes 600 mil a year and wages is 600 mil a year then you basically can’t sign anyone

Everyone in the media and other fan bases are convinced we are getting a point deduction…. Feel like that would be massively unfair when some clubs tried to ruin the league and nothing happened.

Not a chance a points deduction is imposed.

There maybe a suspended points deduction, but that's about it.

Some kind of transfer ban is possible (which kind of forces us to come back well within loss rules) so any business we need done for the next season needs to be done in the summer window. (reliable newspapers suggest it's not going to be resolved before October)

Sick of hearing other clubs at the bottom want us investigated and points docked, why the hell don't they focus on those at the top who have now monopolised the league and keep the status quo by keeping the rest of us in our place. It's a joke.

I really hate this league as much as I want us in it. Something has to change to make it a more level playing field.

 

[RomanReigns]

you can bet your bottom dollar that the likes of burnley, sheffield utd and luton will also be joining the crew calling for a points deduction if it furthers their interest in surviving in the prem for at least 1 more season as well

Thanks for the responses.

It seems a ridiculous policy because clubs that are already locked in for top 6 finishes and European football are being given even greater security of longevity.

The NFL has a salary cap. If football wants to give everyone a fair shake then they should impose a net spend in transfers of x amount per year.

It will not be pionts, it would set a president for future cases, there are other clubs looking likely to be going the same route quite soon.
Will not be over till October anyway and no garrentee we are guilty.

I get that net spend isn't the main issue on our FFP problems, but we still get the constant "they've spent £600m to go backwards" claptrap from every media source.
Looking at this why is it still being peddled to such a degree in the media?
Especially since we've really just went backwards in the past 2 seasons when we've sold to buy.
Nobody mentioning Southampton spending £140m (net) to finish bottom, Leeds spending £220m (past 3 seasons) to get relegated??
We're 15th in net spend over past 5 years yet not a word

sounds like Leicester were/are on the naughty step with us, Chelsea will need to have a fire sale and the likes of Villa and West Ham - who have spent big for several seasons now will not be far off with out player sales.
Like someone said, finding us guilty and taking points sets a dangerous precedent and i'm not sure the Premierleague want to open that can of worms.
My guess is it'll be a fine, possibly a transfer ban and at worse a suspended points deduction.
If they take 3-6 points in October, the likes of Leeds and Leicester will kick off big time (as we would in their position) and again, it's another can of worms the league won't want to open.

Yes. It’s almost as if arbitrary spending limits are silly, isn’t it?

I wouldn’t say it has zero impact, but there definitely is more to FFP than net spend which people seem to think is the be all and end all on here.

So it doesn't matter what you spend on players in fee's, it's just the wages to ratio of commercial income. Whichever Chairmen voted for that in the Premier League is similar to a Turkey voting for Christmas. All the commercial riches are with the top seven clubs( Newcastle now added) the rest are just playing to survive.
