Financial Fair Play investigation

[TheFinnFan]

Tasteless isn't it.
But I suspect thus us just a reporter egging the story for clicks by stating possible intentions rather than an actual intent.

yes it's very disrespectful.

 

[pfim]

None.. I just find it strange that there is a set of Financial rules that completely ignore the debt of clubs in favour of rules that prohibit other clubs from spending.

Two very different things.

 

[Azza]

The media couldn't even give the club a few days grace after yesterday. Straight in hammering the club with negative stories.

As in should be.

No mercy, no retreat, no surrender!

Up the Independent Commission!

If it's a tax issue, shouldn't it be the government going after us? The league only want to to swing their [Poor language removed] around

Yes. HMRC are the relevant body.

That they're not tells you this isn't about taxes I would imagine.

Reports seems the goalpost on us are being moved constantly - the start date - the prem would then access the findings which they may be not now ....- the only things that worry me was the instant withdrawal by MSM when they saw our dodgy books loan wise where any buyer had to pay them off - no big deal, but if they are dodgy loans By our NON DOM Owner /accountant Moshiri - plus the fact no massive buyer is interested other than 777 - then I feel we may be in trouble -

Other big clubs should have all their books looked at if thats the case - Man City are they going to hand trophies back - I dont think so ....

A few months ago - they were supposed to be looking at Moshiri tax affairs & dealings ?

I’ve said this before, but we’re in trouble here because we’re the Goldilocks club that’s just right for making an example of.

We’re big enough for people to sit up and take notice when we’re punished, but not big enough for the vested interests that power the league to care about protecting us.

I have just got onto premierleague.com and can find no reference to Everton except in relation to Bill Kenwright.

 

[TommyDavo]

Have we been relegated yet?

 

[Moomin]

None.. I just find it strange that there is a set of Financial rules that completely ignore the debt of clubs in favour of rules that prohibit other clubs from spending.

The reason why they have that debt is outlawed now.

Reality is, we signed up to the rules. If we have broke them we need to take our medicine.

I don't have any inside info, but there's a difference between tax accounting and financial accounting.

They could have taken a tax loss/gain in the wrong period financially to make it appear better, but the taxman still gets his money.

Without any other details it's tough to guess.

Nothing! Not even in the PL table? Have we been expunged already

 

[maccavennie]

Have we been relegated yet?

Yes but just won promotion again and then docked 12 points 4 minutes ago.

 

[Sharpies volley]

They have better lawyers.

That's got nothing to do whether they've broke any rules or not. If they've broke the same rules as us or worse. If their lawyers get them off so should ours do the same for us.

 

[Sharpies volley]

…you have to think it’s ‘one rule for Everton and another rule for the rest’.

i Really don’t think Sky and the major global TV companies want a city where the Reds dominance is threatened. They make so much money across the world from Reds tourists that they can’t afford people switching off.

They‘ll be wary of the new ground, they want us out the way.

Well our lawyers should be all over it.
