The Everton Board Thread

[brieverton]

If his article was remotely true I think that heavily influences the PLs attitude to finding us not guilty. There is one thing docking points etc, but having other clubs commercially litigate on us for loss of revenue etc for that sum, puts us out of business after 145 years.

I am not sure the PL would want that so if this Is a genuine risk i think they will either find ‘no case to answer’ or if it proceeds, not guilty. It makes no sense to exposing a club as big and traditional as ours to that sort of risk, and in my opinion, it severely damages the PL brand

I'm inclined to agree, and hope this is the case.
If we are punished to the extent our very survival is threatened, then there is nothing to prevent the club fighting dirty in return.

I hope if the club is found guilty, punishment is applied on a suspended basis and dependent on continued co-operation with the PL and future adherence to regulations.

The club have made a pigs ear of this, and there is no doubt of that. There are few if any clubs that are holier than thou. I'm hoping this is a can of worms the authorities would prefer not to open.

The article is just not worth fretting about at all, it contains a load of nonsense

For starters, it's well documented the league have been supervising our spending for years and we have co-operated. If clubs feel the league should have punished us or stopped us spending, then their legal action would be against the league not us. We've done what we've been allowed to.

Secondly, the basis for the purported legal action is presumably that we should've been docked points or should've had a transfer ban which would've resulted in worse results and us placing lower. The fact is the PL rules around FFP don't prescribe set punishments for any breaches, just a range of measures. Since no punishment is specified how can other clubs claim that we OUGHT to have a certain punishment? Under the rules the PL can do what they like.

Thirdly if the claim is that we shouldn't have been allowed to sign players, how would they prove this harmed them? Anyone who knows anything about football transfers, and Everton transfers in particular, knows they are not guaranteed to make a team better. It would be total conjecture to say what would've happened if we were transfer banned. Maybe in that alternative timeline Tom Cannon has 20 goals for the season and we are comfortably mid table.

Lastly, the article goes on about all the relegated sides suing us for 100m each to compensate which is where they get the 300 MILLION headline, and that's plainly nonsense. The only team that could have any possible action is the one finishing 18th, for reasons that would be obvious to anyone barring, it seems, our friend Matt.

Well the PL agreed with Everton and said our for situation was fine and we worked hand in hand with them. If anyone is used it has to be the PL.

It's good and proper that other clubs want to self govern in the interest of fair play, but tell me were were these good, honest clubs when Man City have been getting investigated, charged for about 8 years...

We should be all over the guy who fails to buy United. Hopefully still a Premier League club, new stadium, all for a fifth of what you spend on United.

He is actually a far worse specimen than Usmanov, so I’m glad he has shown zero interest in us, personally,

Whatever the verdict maybe , the PL will obviously have to lay out the details of why they came to the conclusion and took the actions they did.
It would then be open to other interested parties to decide whether they have acted fairly and honestly.
Trying to manipulate the facts to protect their own position would expose them to potentially far worse consequences than being sued by the relegated clubs.
It would risk exposing themselves and the PL as corrupt and patently unfit for purpose.

Lady's & Gentlemen I give you Matt Hughes.

Been a variety of articles recently about how she seems to have gone AWOL, how about some of these great "Investigative Journalists" actually do some investigating and actually find her? They won't go near Kenwright sadly and even if they did he will just spin them a tale or two.

Could anyone blame her ? Imagine getting threats and abuse from tens of thousands of people for just doing your job.

All that pent up frustration should be aimed at the real problem (BK).

Fixed for you.

Yeah. If he's really interested in blowing loads of his dosh on a football club and United don't want him... welcome to everton

Has she been doing her job though? As a CEO has she grown the Everton FC business? Have we seen year on year financial growth, has she lowered the debt, increased turnover and sorted out the P&L mess?

The answer to all the above is no and therefore she deserves to be hounded out. If our clown of an owner had an ounce of a spine he wound have booted her beards ago.

Are you her publicist? She's as culpable as kenwright and moshiri to be scrutinized. obviously threats should be condemned and are vile but the business element of our club has been lackluster and fruitless as any other aspect of this club

Looks like a strong gust of wind would do the job.

Why is there pent up frustration in the first place?

You know as well I do it’s not as clear cut as you make out , you are being deliberately coy once again when it comes to her “just doing her job”.

You should of been binned off here last season after the way you and a few others acted after the 1-1 draw at Chelsea under Benitez.

All your arsed about is winding others up on here.

It’s no wonder it’s more or less the same users time and again in the forum. It’s a farce.

I wouldn’t mind your not even good at it, if you were a bit subtle it could be funny, a good laugh.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it turned a few of you more prominent posters were reds either.
