Everton Thread - 2023/24

PL risks a lot here. other clubs now feel they can sue Everton for losses due to relegation.

City are absolutely boiling piss on the BBC comments ha ha ha

Just been reading it now MES.
Most of the thick planks can’t even discern the difference between charges and guilt leave alone a rudimentary knowledge of accounts.

Wasn’t uniteds “minor breach” a larger sum than the above difference? Nothing to see here

My reply on the BBC news Everton comments, 90% more interested in City:-

Been following City since 1961 v Blackpool at Maine Road. Manchester City have done absolutely nothing wrong, we are 100% squeaky clean as will be proved when all these fake charges are thrown out. Why can't people accept we have the best manager, best players, best fans and best pies in the world.

Football survived without ffp for decades. It's been brought in 100% to protect certain clubs

Like the country, run by a bunch of gangsters.

They will still stay up. The rest of the relegation candidates are much much worse.

Their usual survival Sunday doing it mind.

We're going down with a billion in the bank

Were going to Brackerly

How much punishment did United receive after failing FFP rules?

No point. It’s the UEFA FFP they’ve breached and they’re already bottom of their group.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Look im not sitying here and saying we have done nothing wrong but there are mitigating factors.

1. We took a huge loss on an expensive player due to a police investigation. Not the clubs fault.

2. We had sponsorship deals lined up that fell through due to the Ukraine war and sanctions.

3. We used our own money to put towards a new stadium instead of taking out a loan with interest.

I get that point 2 you could say well this can happen to anyone but nobody expected the invasion.

Unlike the FL, the PL has no guidance or rules in place for a breach of P&S. It sets a precedent as they have just made up the punishment on the spot with a note that due to a billionaire owner, only a points deduction is punishment. So if our owner wasnt a billionaire, a fine would have done it?

How can you enforce a punishment when there are no guidelines for the punishment.

Also we have been punished more than teams who go into Administration.

I've not looked into the breakdown of why ffp was failed but even with the incidents you could label as extenuating circumstances such as those mentioned above, everton will have known they were going to fail well before the figures were published. They undoubtedly would have seeked advice on whether there was any leeway available for those special circumstances and upon discovering they were still going to break the rules surely they then just use the transfer market to make sure they comply?

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Question that needs to be asked is everton will have been fully aware they were on course to fail ffp so why did they not just look to sell somebody in the window to cover the near £20 million overspend? One sale prevents ththis.

Doesn't work like that. All players have a value in the books and you have to sell for more than the value to report a profit. Big clubs tend to pay the most and have values higher than what they can get, it's like if rags sold maguire or Anthony what would they get? Probably less.
