There but for the grace of God go I

Watched last night’s match with a kind of morbid fascination and it brought up memories of awful awaydays when we were hopelessly overmatched and there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

Just makes you realise how amazingly lucky we are as fans to be experiencing what we are now.

Been thinking the same all season, I've never known a club to squander so much money over the years. For that investment they should be in 5th at least.

Goes to show money isn't everything, it is how the club is ran and how good recruitment / development is etc.

Thank all things that you hold dear for Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoun, Ferran, Txiki, Bobby, Manuel and Pep.
 
I'm calling clickbait on this - if they're found to be in breach, it's surely more likely to be a fine than a points deduction as it'll be a first offence so to speak:

EXCLUSIVE: Everton risk a PL points DEDUCTION due to profit rules

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Everton recorded combined losses of over £260m between 2017 and 2020, which in ordinary circumstances would represent a clear breach of league rules

Such an easy, lazy, throw away line that Pep is a cheque manager and “id win the league as city manager”.

as you say, you have to spend the money right. Everton and united are proof that throwing money at it is only half the job

Possibly.

Talkshite going for the point deduction angle claiming it could be another Derby County legal issue.

That game had no say in everton staying up, the other results went our way. We would have stayed up anyway as Sheffield United got beat at Chelsea. Had the other teams all won we would have gone down anyway regardless of the result v Wimbledon

Not true.
If you had lost , you would have finished 3rd bottom . A point behind Sheffield utd.
 
Sounds very ominous for them doesn't it? They've got incredibly difficult fixtures, have owner issues/stadium issues and now under threat of a points deduction.

I didn't like the shit we had to deal with in 2009, but the PL would be worse off without them IMO.

Feels like they'll go, whether this season or next.
 
Mixed feelings on Everton's woes. I sailed with some good lads who support Everton who I am in touch with today. Staunch loyal lads. Like us they have to put up with insufferable neighbours across town. On the whole, at our place anyway and peak hooligan days aside, they are generally better to get along with. However they have been whiney fuckers at times. The Lescott transfer, trouble and false accusations our fans attacked a disabled fan in the league cup semi final, the wanting full disclosure on the covid situation and now the whining on the non penalty. They got away with going down when Wimbledon 2-0 up and coasting either shit the bed or took a bribe and Everton won 3-2 and stayed up. Watch the Everton goals, iffy to say the least.

So in conclusion I've no real hatred for Everton like I do for their vile neighbours but I won't she'd too many years if they go down either.
 
Ffp meant to stop another Portsmouth another Leeds when in fact ffp rules means the power that be can go after you endlessly, fcuking disgusting the worse football rules ever to come in, in the history of football!

If an owners wants to wright of 1b so what! A team just wants to compete spends shitloads so what! Now because of ffp it makes a club in more trouble.

Gill is one piece of shit I hope the scum get that shit, that down the road they get into as much trouble as Everton now! Watch Gill change the ffp rules in a heartbeat.
 
Surely for FFP they can put a lot of the expenditure down to spending on their new stadium ... After all thats what their neighbours did a few years ago , just do what they did and get some kid to come up with a few stadium designs on minecraft and tell the FA and UEFA it cost £100 million , i mean at least they are in the process of actually moving grounds , Liverpool got away with it and they never had any intention of moving ..
 
I fear we are doomed. I sat in my seat watching 7 players out of 11 not giving a feck. Shame on them.

Just cannot see where we will get points from.
 
Sad to see Everton go down if they do?

Apart from the Lescott spat and fallout instigated by Moyes, Everton and City fans have tended to get on as a rule. As a fan base we have plenty in common with Everton fans. If Everton do go down, I expect them to come straight back up.
