Everton Thread - 2023/24

Why are the everton fans now crying corruption? They broke the rules, they were punished. They can claim the punishment is too harsh but there's no corruption in that.

Going down the "other clubs are yet to be punished so why should we" route just makes them look stupid and completely negates any valid points they may have.

There's no similar rule breach to compare to and no open and shut case like theirs. Lets say they find us, Chelsea, spurs or whoever guilty in time and punish them, are everton fans then going to be fine with their punishment? Because their current direction seems to be purely "whataboutism"

They've gone about this completely wrong, I'm sure there's a fair few of them that understand this but the masses of idiots have taken the lead and are making them look like stupid twats.

That is pretty much spot on, Everton, if anything did pull a fast one or the Premier League and did them a very big favour with the punishment being held back until now, the ruling and punishment were from the end of last season and would have relegated Everton. So somebody pulled a couple of strings and if anything it helped Everton in a very big way with 26 games left and only a handful of points from safety,

If I was Everton I would be very careful in what they do Now, I would just take the punishment and run

They don’t think that they’ve broken the rules and believe the goalposts have been moved.

Whilst it isn’t the same situation, we felt quite similar back in 2014.

I thought they accepted their guilt but thought there should have been some leniency shown due to the loss of gate money during Covid.

I think it’s a combination. I think they did admit their guilt, but gave what they thought were extenuating circumstances as mitigation.

I‘m not saying I agree with them, just suggesting why they are feeling victimised.

There seems to have been a fluid conversation with them and the PL to walk them through their FFP issues but then Moshiri decided to buy some midfielders and ignore them.

Some classic revisionism going on in the local news. Liverpool MP saying the ‘rules need to be clearer’ and that he supports an independent commission……I thought the rules ‘were’ clear and that City were the only club to vote for an independent regulator …….silly me

I'm sure PiGMOL will help. Probably give the rags a 6-0 win against 8 men this weekend.

I thought infrastructure was exempt from ffp.

Apparently something changed in 2022.

Watched a few interviews from Everton fans all 30 of them protesting outside the Premier league headquarters , and every single one referred to us and what we "have done" , they all believe like the vast majority of the football world , that we are guilty.
We must be the only football club that guilty before proven innocent , the media have played a blinder brainwashing even simpletons like those Evetonians , EWFC , Everton Whataboutery Football Club.

They need to understand that it’s their chums across Stanley park and the cretins at Old Trafford who need the fingers pointing at them. They want control of top level football by pushing for a Super League and using their sway to push clubs like City out of the way as they can’t compete with them. The whole football world is being gaslighted into thinking it’s the likes of City and Newcastle are the problem when it clearly isn’t.
