Hahahaha get fucked
I know it’s not just down to spending on players but we’ve literally had to sell to buy these last few years and have one of the lowest net spends in the league.
I just don’t see how we’re the only team to break the rules
Its largely due to your wage bill.
You’re the club that spends the highest percentage of your revenue on wages. Others are up there too but you’re up there the year before and the year before that and the year before that
Tbh the future for PL clubs lie with very rich and politically Strong owners who can beat the system with money/lawyers/corruption.
Any club not doing this will eventually end up being either a lower mid table club who is in risk of relegation in most seasons or will end up getting relegated to lower leagues.
TL;DR: Everton might face another points deduction due to a new breach of Premier League financial rules. The original deduction was related to overspending on loans for their stadium. Despite protests from fans and accusations of regulatory malpractice, the Premier League insists the process was fair and based on agreed-upon principles.
- Everton faces the possibility of another points deduction for breaching financial rules.
- The original deduction was linked to overspending on loans for their new stadium.
- Everton is submitting accounts for the 2022-23 season earlier due to new regulations expediting straightforward breaches.
- Concerns arise that Everton might be close to breaching financial rules again with the same calculation system.
- Fans protested the original ruling, and accusations of regulatory malpractice were made by Everton’s season-ticket holder, Manchester’s mayor.
- The Premier League, through Chairwoman Alison Brittain, refutes claims of malpractice, stating that clubs, including Everton, agreed in 2020 not to have a fixed tariff for sanctions.
- The Premier League proposed a sanction, but the independent commission dismissed it, highlighting the discretionary nature of sanctions.
- Brittain rejects the accusation that the Premier League is using Everton’s case to prove self-regulation before an independent football regulator arrives.
Seems like there will be a bit of a fire sale at Everton in January then, if things haven’t cleared up by then.
Unlikely considering they sold Gordon and so have made a transfer profit the last couple of seasons.
Isn’t this the same for all Clubs though? Like, all PL clubs have to submit at the end of December and if any breach they get a points deduction?
Yes, but these poor journalists need clicks damn it.
I very much doubt it considering we haven’t spent fuck all.
How the fuck have City and Chelsea escaped punishment but not Everton?
Ah, it’s the double tap.
Just go into administration Everton and get one point back
Okay, why is it that Everton can be hit so swiftly while City and Chelsea have been allowed to cheat year after year without consequence?
Everton’s also wasn’t that quick, which is the entire point of the article above.
The rules have been changed (rightly in my opinion) so that any overspending is punished the season that it is published in the accounts now. Previously that would rumble over multiple seasons, which is why Everton’s existing deduction is related to their accounts from previous seasons, at the expense of the teams who went down those years.
People need to stop saying “What about Man City or Chelsea” because your just making yourselves look stupid.
Everton are guilty of breaching FFP, end off of discussion.
They admitted to the Independent Commission that they were guilty of breaching FFP, Everton were trying to justify why they did and the Commission judged they were full of shite and gave them a 10 point penalty.
This case hasn’t just happened, it’s been going for years.
The PL were working with Everton to help them avoid breaching FFP yet Everton still went ahead and over spent.
As for Chelsea and City, their cases are in orders of magnitude more complex.
Man City have denied any wrong doing and are using their virtually unlimited funds to throw lawyers to contest every single aspect of the PL case against them.
Sooooo City gets delayed but Everton gets the accelerated treatment. Seems fair.
Everton would still survive because the promoted sides are that bad
