Player Valuation: £40m
Oh let’s face it, that money is gone. In my head it’s stadium/loan shark money. But avoiding an embargo is important.
I’ll be shocked if Gomes is still here next week, he’s costing us about £6m a year

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
I still think that will just be a formality and a fine at most. But even then with the apparent cooperation and the last few years tightening belts, we may not even get that.
The P&S are guidelines rather than rules with defined reppourcusions. So they're flexing to show they're in control of the league. They don't even know what punishments they should give out.
Our breach is purely down to last year's financials and nothing historic going over multiple years (ala City). So it'll be going to the headmasters office for a telling off but you've booked your ideas up so off you pop
I wonder if we can’t get a Saudi or Turkish team to take him before their respective deadlines if we’ll pay him off like we did with Rondon last year.

The sales would mean Kean has gone on last years total.
Iwobi
Cannon
Simms
Nkounkou
+loan fees
=£45mil + Stones clause £2.5mil.
£40mil a year off the wage bill isnt small either.
Gomes + Gray going to Saudi would be even more impressive.
Does this mean that we’ll have to sell someone next year to cover their transfer fees? As it stands we can’t afford to buy anyone next summer and we’ll have about 12 players left after contracts have expired?

Player Valuation: £80m
Don't forget the transfer ban and probable points deduction we'll be getting in a few weeks!
That £40m wages saving can’t be net surely?
The new signings even if conservatively on £30k per week average ea, would be another £5m or so on top
I’ve come to the conclusion that this isn’t happening over a stadium tax issue.
I don't believe it is a stadium tax issue.
What do you believe it is? I’m only going off what I’ve read by people who know more than me.
I mean that’s 99.9999% of money circulating around football.

The more you see of just how bad things are in the wider business the more I think Thelwell and his department have had just about as good a window as they possibly could have. They have brought in three players in Beto, Harrison and Danjuma who greatly improve the first team all for 3m outlay, and secured what I think are really good fees for Iwobi, Cannon and Simms. Just wish they'd found a way to get a defender or two in but it sounds like it was even worse than the sell to buy we thought it was and there genuinely was not a pot to piss in.
When you add in the disappearing Gordon and Kean money he is operating a significant transfer profit and not getting it to work with, it's going straight into keeping the lights on. The business of a football club should exist to fund the football department, at Everton right now the football department is funding the business.
As frustrated as most of us are at the lack of a few more signings I suspect that if and when the facts of this period are known it'll be Thelwell and his people whose wheeling and dealing have kept our heads above water in spite of the utter shambles going on above their heads.
