Financial Fair Play investigation

[Moomin]

We are guilty.

Never forget that Moyes had something on a referee that was so damning that he never refereed us for 7 years.

Which one was that? Clattenburg?

Considering no one has had points deducted for it before, pretty much shows that anyone who views opposite is pretty much picking the negative for a reason.

I’m sure a fair few choose that option in the hope we do just to be proved right, same as the ones who guaranteed relegation for the past two years and we’re saying it will definitely happen this season too.

I do think you have some fair points, especially about the doom mongerers.
There is some risk with the PL having to show some balls due to their power and potentially their existance being under threat. With the governments review. This is a risk that in my view, as they say in the financial world means 'past perfomace is not indicative of future results'.
My brain says we get away with whatever we have been accused of with a slap on the wrist. PL giving us a big points deduction IMHO gives the PL a world of pain. How do they then deal with clubs that have done way worse than us eg City and how do they justify non existent previous penalties eg the scum and others trying to breakaway from and destroy the PL?

I wish they would just announce the outcome though as they have had long enough to review the books. Just get on with it Damn it!!

Yeah...after the Derby.


Couple of months previous Clattenburg travelled and stayed with Liverpool on their pre-season tour aswell.

It's not without precedence.
We were the club hardest hit with the European ban.
We had the first of only 2 players banned for diving even after the commission said that there was contact on Niasse.
We were the victims of a fixed champions league draw, the fact that Moyes said publicly that he believed that the draw was fixed and wasn't himself punished for saying that, as a punishment for Moyes would have led to an investigation.
Then the game itself V Viallareal was obviously fixed.
Then they changed the rules on champions league qualification.
Can't really blame people for thinking the worst.

I’ve heard, first hand from someone genuinely connected, about this. I can say no more.

Anyway that’s another story.

We’ll have none of that religious stuff here

Rrr ey...ya can't do that

I know I know but that’s as far as I’m willing to go. And you all know my feelings on ITKs. This isn’t one of them. Anyway, a black car with Sepp Blatter in has pulled up outside, I’ll just get the door….

That Goodison News seem a good set of lads.

Every time I click on NewsNow they are twisting the knife in about 5 stories about us. Prenno getting his own back?

Then you would be better off actually saying nothing, instead of saying I can say nothing.

Defiantly run by Kenny Dalglish and Danny Murphy that website.. pay no attention to it.

Not that it tells us much we don't already don't know but a piece on the BBC website this morning;

Everton: When will FFP hearing and 777 Partners takeover uncertainties be resolved?

Everton's on-field fortunes look to be improving, but uncertainties off the pitch remain which, once resolved, could have a big impact on the club's future.

The beeb, prepping for the announcement there.

I don’t buy this, personally.

I don’t see what benefit there is to softening up Evertonians for a less severe punishment.

Fans of every other team would be disappointed in a weak punishment after 12 points has been trailed. So you basically end up with all 20 clubs disappointed in the outcome - even if we are somewhat relieved not to have had the full gut punch.

Not seen that appetite to be honest, only from fans of bitter teams who went down.

All I've seen is "what a joke considering Chelsea, Man City" etc, and people using the charge to beat FFP with.

Also interesting to see BBC referencing this again;

Last month, The Times reported the FFP charge was related to interest payable on loans to build the new stadium.

They must have been told it's coming soon - no other reason to suddenly bring it back to everyone's attention
