Weird/interesting if the issue is actually related to that, considering stadium and club infrastructure is essentially ignored by FFP

Interesting. Even if found to be in breach, on paper it looks better that it’s due to accounting treatment or interpretation of the rules regarding loans, interest and tax. Better that than being accused of just spending £200m too much on crap players, dodgy sponsorship arrangements or hidden payments to managers and staff. A sporting penalty would be ridiculous. Agree a fine and move on.

Hopefully Joyce is right because even if guilty a single technical point is surely not going to lead to a points deduction or anything as draconian as that.
I'm not sure how we would have a tax liability considering we've made astronomical losses in recent peeiods
Didn't even know you could get taxed on loans
Probably one of the most complicated areas of corporate tax

Off to Aldi for toilet paper The Guardian ran out yesterday. (I didn't buy the guardian, my socialist son did).

“Your honour, Meslier was distracted by the complexities of Everton’s stadium related tax issues, causing him to absent mindedly wander from his goal line, and without that….”
It's hard to understand this tbh.
Why would other clubs think we gained an advantage over a tax issue on the new stadium ?
If Joyce is right surely this is no basis for points deductions/ fines or transfer bans.
Doesn't make sense.

Could be most clubs didn't even know what the charge was and just jumped on it. Also, could've just been the media overplaying it for a news story (there haven't actually been any direct quotes from other clubs regarding this charge).
Massively confused here. How’s that even possible?

Also quite amusing that such a specific and detailed bit of information about the charge has found its way into the public domain.

Because they need a last straw to cling to. Desperation. PR for their fans so they can deflect from their own mismanagement. And it's not like the owners of these clubs are "fit and proper" persons...
Nothing to see here. We're off the hook if it relates to Estadio Good Times.

Suspect a lot of yesterdays guardian article was completely made up. The fact they included Southampton who could have no conceivable claim and won’t have given a moment’s thought to suing us was telling.

Has Joyce said this on his Twitter or has it appeared on The Times website?
