Everton Thread - 2023/24

[Eccles Blue]

Part of Everton's statement, jumped on by the BBC!!
Everton:
"The club will also monitor with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules."

BBC:

Everton sanctioned, rightfully so. But of course nothing will happen to the real offenders Man City and Chelsea.
James

SMS Message: I wait Man City's punishment with great interest. from Mike
I wait Man City's punishment with great interest.

As do Everton... ICYMI, that was the penultimate line of their club statement.'


Me:
Interesting? Or just predictable?

Talk of certain clubs who have been relegated at Everton's expense are going to sue them. One of those clubs is rumoured to be Leicester. Well I hope all the Championship clubs who Leicester got promoted at the expense of in 2014 sue them as well, given that they breached Championship FFP regs. Fucking cheeky cunts.

Can't see how anybody can sue them. They over-spent and made a huge loss, which isn't illegal. They didn't cheat on the pitch to get the extra points that ended up relegating other clubs

 

[Wanderingwolf]

Probably the best season for this to happen they will still avoid the drop

 

[paulchapo]

As others have said I think Everton will still stay up as the other teams at the bottom are dire. Their problem is the relegated clubs suing them which is why they're probably appealing.

The bbc football website has already deducted the points and have them sitting on 4

We're going down with a billion in the bank

They'll appeal that the overspending allowed them to strengthen their squad illegally which kept Everton up at their expense.

Could be the case lol, I never thought they'd get deducted points.

The British Broadcasting Cunts staple their colours to the website - red shirts, red shorts, red socks, red corner flags, red nets, red eyes, and if anything needs painting we'll go for, let me see, oh yes. Post Office Red!

City have been charged with offences that amount to parking and speed fines, some of the offences were before PL FFP and so are not FFP breaches
Everton have been charged with murder
That's the difference
Everton spend beyond their means funded by an oligarch they claimed that the losses are due to Covid yet are far in excess of what other clubs claimed including those relegated last season they willa rgue if they had overspent by the same amount they may have not been relegated

Everton can counter-argue that the more money they spent, the worse they got!

Were Everton part of the hateful 8 or whatever they were called?

Taken in that context it's just under a 20 million pound loss which doesn't sound too excessive. Other reports look a lot worse, meaning in spite of breaking the rules they must have carried on doing so.

All those wanking over our case, it's completely different. Everton admitted their guilt, we strenuously deny ours.

No.

I said last weekend, they're probably already safe so the 10 point deduction won't be all that damaging come the end of the season, I still expect them to stay up comfortably.

Perhaps this was also in evetons mind, they would have gone down in any of the previous few seasons with such a deduction. They can't guarantee they won't be in trouble next year, you've got the 3 weakest promoted teams we've had for a long time, maybe they've took the hit now being confident they can survive to avoid being in a worse position next season or beyond.

next season you'll likely have a few if not all of the likes of leicester, southampton and leeds coming up which are all teams who are more than capable of maintaing premier league status and you wouldn't want a points deduction then.

Glad to see all the morons out in full force instantly comparing this to city. It couldn't be anymore different, it baffles me how so many can be so stupid to suggest otherwise.

 

[flook]

10 point deduction seems excessive for a minor financial breach, remind me again, what was the extent of trafford rangers ffp breach for which they received a small fine?

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Were Everton part of the hateful 8 or whatever they were called?

Yes

 

[waspish]

If Everton was in the bottom 3 and three worse teams they wouldn't have had the balls to dock Everton 10 points! Because is looks like they are playing well picking up points and 10 points now looks like they'll finish outside bottom 3!

FFP hey is happy to have a club go into admin and die when an owner can afford the losses is for me a fcuking disgrace!
