Financial Fair Play investigation

[Bilbo]

No relegation odds now and no price on us finishing in bottom half but Fulham and Forest are there (not bottom 4). Bookies not sure so just pull for now?

9/2 on Bet365 to be relegated.

¡El Everton será sancionado con 12 puntos!

Aún no es oficial pero en Inglaterra dan por hecho que el Everton será sancionado con 12 puntos por violar el reglamento del Fair Play Financiero. De confirmars...

One Spanish newspaper is already calling it as a fait accompli but their source is Steve Brown so slightly less reliable than Biffo the Bear.

We are innocent

Just remember that

Out of interest, what makes you think that? Blind faith?

 

[ValBlue]

Don’t understand this type of paranoia.

The ‘they’ is never defined, let alone any rational reason why ‘they’ want us relegated.

It’s not paranoia and ‘they’ are the Prem

 

[Yarrgh]

you can draw a circle from 3 points

Or at worse, an ellipse.

We can speculate all we want, but I think we just have to hope for the best.

It’s entirely out of our control.

Same as every other topic, really. I mean, try as we might, collectively we have very little control over Michael Keane's arms.

Not sure they want us to actually not exist as such, but its the fact that there have been debates in parliament as to who actually owns the club, is it Moshiri? is it Usmanov? Usmanov is said to be one of Vladimir Putin's inner circle of 3, I have no doubt pressure is coming from higher up in the establishment chain to come down hard on us. Ultimately the Tories let the Russians come into the country and buy everything up land, property, etc, etc, and typical Tories just looked at the £££ signs and everything went a bit overboard. Now because of the Ukraine thing they have to make themselves look in control and get rid of it all.

Do you think 'they' would want Arsenal out if Usmanov and Moshiri were still investing there?

Danny said that makes 40 points deduction when all added together.

That’s incredible. 3m followers they have on twitter and their journalists aren’t taking 30 seconds to verify the accounts they are basing stories on are genuine. The modern media, there.

It goes on to say -
According to sports journalist Steve Brown, the independent commission that has investigated the case has already taken a verdict that is expected to be announced by the end of the week by the Premier League.

Just get on with you boring knobheads

Can't even enjoy a week off after an excellent away win with this garbage hanging over our heads

Of course it’s paranoia.

No one is out to get us for any other reason than it looks like we’ve broken the rules.

We have always been a part of the Premier League, we helped form all of its rules, we signed up to them, and it looks like we broke them.

There’s no reason why our own league would want us relegated.

You can’t swap Everton for any other club in the Championship and increase interest in the league.

It’s conspiratorial nonsense.

 

[Big Duncs Megadrive]

Even if we don't get a points deduction for us breaking the FFP rules we will get one when we go into administration after the collapse of the 777 takeover.

We might even get both like Derby County did in the Championship two years ago!
