Financial Fair Play investigation

[allen]

I’m more worried about 777 than I am this.

It's worries stacked upon worries for us at the moment.

Survive a points deduction and then we have to survive the takeover happening or not happening and throwing our day to day cashflow into chaos.

Survive that and we have to cope with 777 as owners.

Survive that and we have to pick up enough points to steer clear of relegation.

Survive that and it's same again next season unless something fundamental changes.

Genuinely the toughest time - possibly ever - to be an Evertonian.

What's the motivation for doing so?

EVERY single story about Everton under Moshiri is "leaked"

We are trying to change the narrative to get in front of a bad news situation.

If there is a HUGE outcry to our issue which seems to be in public/social media, we use it to our advantage.

I wouldn't blame anyone if they just can't be bothered much longer tbh

It's not a Court. Contempt doesn't apply.

These are legal proceedings or quasi-legal proceedings. It does not need to be a court. Once it is a proceeding that has powers to impose punishment on a defendant or respondent, the rules of Natural Justice apply, including the absolute prohibition against publishing anything that could impede or prejudice proceedings BEFORE a final verdict has been reached.

As I already posted:


Contempt of Court Act 1981

Strict liability​

1The strict liability rule.​

In this Act “the strict liability rule” means the rule of law whereby conduct may be treated as a contempt of court as tending to interfere with the course of justice in particular legal proceedings regardless of intent to do so.

2Limitation of scope of strict liability.​

(1)The strict liability rule applies only in relation to publications, and for this purpose “publication” includes any speech, writing, [F1programme included in a cable programme service] or other communication in whatever form, which is addressed to the public at large or any section of the public.

(2)The strict liability rule applies only to a publication which creates a substantial risk that the course of justice in the proceedings in question will be seriously impeded or prejudiced.

(3)The strict liability rule applies to a publication only if the proceedings in question are active within the meaning of this section at the time of the publication.

I've said it hear already.. intrest in Football is hanging by a thread for me.. it's become a soap opera.. any punishment for Everton and the inevitable media wankfest will end my intrest in Football.

Fans of other clubs all over social media basically believe this 12 point deduction has already been handed out, so when it doesn’t happen it’ll look like it’s been overturned and it’ll cause a lot more angst towards us. I feel like this was the aim of the media all along.

100% agree mate, will wait and see what happens but adding this on top of the 777 thing and that's just us. The constant issues with refs in this league and the bias towards certain teams, I'm losing interest fairly rapidly tbh.

Exactly that. It was a hit piece to destabilise a club that already is far from being on an even keel.

As much as he annoys me at times we could do with an Andy Burnham type around the club as he certainly would not sit here quietly whilst various journo's sit and take cheap pot shots at us.

Can't wait for it tbh, they all absolutely lost their [Poor language removed] when we stayed up again last season, and going to lose it even more when we get a suspended points deduction or fine.

Tell enough lies .....eventually....some of it sticks.

This

So many feel the same, it is supposed to be our "get away from it all" few moments, at the moment there is no escaping.

To be honest though, I'm not sure I could ever give it up in anyway, its in our blood as with most football fans. I did pledge not to spend much more wedge on them after the Newcastle gams last season and so far stuck to it(if you dont count the new top, Villa game! lol)

Im not prepared to do a 7 hour round trip any more tho! Other priorities

They just make it so hard at the moment.

The press are absolute vermin pursuing and fuelling this in equal measure straight after Bill's demise, no repeat for either the club or Bill whatsoever.
I also feel the events of the past week including this has been strengthening us as a fan base.
