Just to point out, despite what the article might say, we aren’t suing anyone i’m sure our name was on whatever went to the FA last season when we were struggling with Everton against relegation, but we’ll have nothing to do with any legal action.
And it is total bullshit that stadium and building works counts against FFP. So what, you build a new stadium but you have to be either uncompetitive or relegated as a consequence? Absolute nonsense
When i look at my bills i have to factor in paying a mortgage. Other teams have had to cut back when building their stadia i don’t see why it should be a free pass.
Anyone except Burnley, Norwich and Watford is just laughable.
Leicester’s only argument is because “bUt WhY nOt lAsT seaSon”. The accounts were submitted in March 23. As things are we are 1 month after the hearing and expected another 3 months for the appeals. There’s simply no way the case could have reached a final conclusion before the start of the season.
Regardless, the decision was PL, not Everton. No decision by Everton resulted in Leicester being relegated. We were fully compliant for 22/23, and actually substantially under the limit. Any argument of lasting effects from being over the season before is equally laughable considering we were £20m under last season which counteracts the £19m over the season before.
God knows what Leeds argument is. Possibly they can’t count so don’t realise they came 19th and would have been relegated anyway. The same argument for Leicester applies regardless.
Burnley, Watford and Norwich do have a case. Watford finished 16 points below us so nah. Norwich even lower, so nah. Burnley are the ONLY club who even have a slight argument to make, and I struggle to see how they get even a tenth of the way to £100m in damages considering they were immediately promoted, had parachute payments, and were in relegation battles every season and could easily have gone down the next season.
It’s not just about final place. You appear to have struggled to notice but the points deduction has happened part way through the season. That’s huge for rival relegation candidates. It would have been huge for previous seasons as well.
It’s not possible for it to have been applied in previous seasons.
Insert “stop it he’s already dead” meme
It would be a bit rich of Leicester to complain given that they got fined for the same thing when they got promoted to the Premier League
And this is how the league eats itself.
Good job everyone. Watch it all burn because your team kind if sucks.
The PL got what they wanted. Putting a club on the brink if administration for stadium costs! Hope they are happy, cheers👍🏼
The rules were clear and they were broken, manage ffp correctly and don’t break it. It sends the message to other clubs not to break the rules. And before you say City and Chelsea, I absolutely hope they face punishment too.
Not sure how a 19.5m miscal correlates to -10 pts but ya
It wasn’t a miscal, at this level that isn’t an acceptable defense, at this level you have the resources to make sure that doesn’t happen. It was a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules or it was incompetence. Now we know the penalty and I welcome it.
Either way it will get appealed and probably reduced to 4 or 7 points. And frankly if this punishment was always going to happen then it couldn’t come at a better time. Everton will likely survive this season even with the deduction.
Now every club is aware that this behavior doesn’t fly. But if we get to the point in 3 or 4 years where City and Chelsea faced no punishment though I absolutely will change my mind on that.
The point is 10 pts is egregious. Over 19.5 in a stadium cost. It will probably come down to 3-6 in the end. But 10 for one charge is nuts
Fuck it, I want some compo too!
Go get it! They’re living off of your generosity!
Hey, we should sue them too. If we didn’t lose away to Everton in the 21/22 season and instead won, we would have finished in the UCL places. We missed out on that sweet UCL money and so Everton should pay us.
/s
This is genuinely what clubs can build cases on and will build cases on if city or Chelsea are also punished (as if) every single dropped point or loss of one league position can be scrutinised by every club in the league
Makes no sense given its been stated that we gained no sporting advantage. What would their grounds to sue us be?
You stayed up.
The vultures are circling lad, dodgy as tbh
Because they didn’t take the points off last season
Then they should sue the Premier League, not Everton.
And that’s our fault how?
Absolute BS. We are now responsible for everyone and their mommy being relegated
Everton have a net spend of zero for the past four window and a net spend for last 5 years of 3rd lowest in premier league. The PL admit Everton had no sporting advantage as it was stadium costs, there is litteraly no case to sue.
Tallying up transfer fees is not a reliable way of measuring expenditure and income
Staying up is an advantage.
The investigation ruled that everton got no sporting advantage from their over spending on stadium. So no case to be had. Even stranger actually that they have been handed a sporting punishment after they said this
Kahve solekol is a complete knobjockey.
Absolutely sick of the sight of him on sky sports News.
Wnker
Why ?
He says stuff, without actually ever saying stuff…
Exactly . Used to just be transfer , now it’s anything football related . Plays up the ‘my sources tell me…’ bullshit . Absolute charlatan
tap in merchant on transfers. No actual knowledge or real sources.
Absolute fraud. As is sly sports.
Watch some of the transfer news videos.
‘Arsenal are heavily monitoring the Declan Rice deal’.
‘Sky sources tell me that a bid has not been submitted’
‘All indications point to the fact that rice would be interested to play for Arsenal’
So at the end of 5 minutes, he doesn’t actually say anything worthwhile.
To be fair to him when you work for a 24 hour sports news channel that devotes 80% of its runtime to one sport, and are actually committed to giving reliable information then your job will inevitably consist of saying a lot of nothing.
I used to watch sky sports news a lot, and when I’m work (van driver all day) try to keep in touch via talk sport. Jesus Christ, just like deleting Facebook, I felt so much better after choosing to remove rumours and controversy fishing from my life. There isn’t a single host/guest/presenter on sky sports who isn’t a childish sound bite conman
The way he talks is so irritating as well
Everton watch city lawyers 🤣🤣
This Everton ruling is opening up a can of worms, a kettle of fish, a Pandora’s box of possibilities that the EPL is gonna hate to deal with.
Poor Everton seems so harsh over 20 million
