*Shakes head* Everton again.

Sympathy should be for the clubs relegated in place of Everton despite playing by the rules losing hundreds of millions and seeing club staff sacked as a result.

Another reason why they are in the shit is the stadium. Why choose a fucking stadium in a world heritage site that took 6 years to get going, that had loads of structural and engineering challenges to overcome and was going to cost shitloads?.

 

They could have built on a number of sites in the city for less with better transport links or even bought up the land round goodison and helped develop the area they've neglected for years. 

 

Goodison might be a shithole but not many teams like playing there and they will lose all that if they do end up in this new stadium. 

 

It was a vanity project and for them to think they were getting one over us. 

Nah, the real reason was the club was being funded by Usmanov who was on the same sportswashing mission as pioneered by Abramovic. Moshiri never had any wealth of his own, he has always been Usmanov's front man so when Russia invaded Ukraine and Usmanov was sanctioned, the money evaporated.

Being big licks before the fact. A huge Everton trait.

The silver lining if they do go proper tits up and fold is that Evertonians can start supporting Real Madrid/Spurs/City full time and will already have the shirts/flags/banners for their new team.

Do you know any of them? I do at Everton. Not saying you’re wrong but you don’t like to see anyone possibly losing their jobs. The lower paid will suffer most, even relegated teams still need infrastructure as you know.

Many of them will finally get to see a team they support win something too.

Hang on a minute, I thought they were all 'born'

Don't think the lowest paid should lose their jobs full stop and the cost should be incurred by owners, board members and players to protect those low paid jobs/pay for schemes to find them jobs elsewhere (it's not like relegation means less work so it's not a capacity issue it's purely monetary).

 

But you'd feel that extra sense of injustice as an ex Leicester/Burnley employee turning on the news to see the club that stayed up in less than fair circumstances being hit with their second set of charges.

The club should be incurred by the owners you’re right. Let’s hope City getting hammered soon and their ‘poor’ employees get looked after by the State. UAE that is.

Wolves got into a bit of a financial bind that meant they couldn't sign players, resulting in Lopetegui resigning on the eve of the new season. Their solution was to sell a number of players without replacing them, in order to try and get back into the black.

 

Forest were more limited in how much they are allowed to lose, given that they hadn't been in the PL for the full 3-year period under assessment. They have stated that they will comply with the PL to try and get a resolution, and have admitted to FFP rule breaches.

 

Everton's last sanction (and subsequent 10-point deduction) covered the 3-year rolling period up to the end of the 2021/22 season. The latest sanction covers the 3-year rolling period up to the end of the 2022/23 season. Crucially, the PL look at permissible losses over each rolling period. Everton are quibbling over procedures that they themselves agreed to adhere to, having already made a hash of their finances over a 3-year period, tried to fudge their way out of it, while there is basically now a 4th year of further losses. They are simply trying to say the losses are not losses because it means being in the red. And they can't have that! And now they are going all Donald Trump-MAGA loon.

They’re all piling onto Duncan Donuts on that Kenwright thread. 
 

Personally I think he’s spot on.

Everton sold Digne for £25 million....and then signed Mykolenko/Patterson for a combined £33 million....what more do you want from them, they made every attempt to balance the books!!

The wreck of a once great club brought this to mind;

 

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

[Frank Dacey]

Everton seem to be suggesting that their problems lie more in the funding of the new stadium and they should be excused as such. If you live in a ramshackle wooden shack and don't have a pot to piss in, how is it either credible or creditable to announce that you've decided to build a 6 bedroom mansion ?

Going on about the cartel again. Forgets that Everton were part of a cartel of 5 in 1992. Meanwhile other teams who weren't have won trophies while they've just sat around blaming Heysel, laughed at us for being a tourist/Norwegian club and could have moved grounds years ago for a lot less than what is bankrupting them now. 

Well that’s my night ruined. 
 

What a self indulgent, cretinous little bell that is. With his rehearsed movements like the fingers walking and strange references that he obviously thought were very clever.

 

Just his profile picture screams “I THINK THAT EVERYONE THINKS IM DEAD FUNNY AND CLEVER”

 

Also, he’s mentioning stuff that’s been there for years - moving kick off times etc, so why is he only now bringing it up after his club have been fingered for cheating.

I like that their main excuse appears to be the loss of £200 million they would have got from Usmanov for stadium naming rights. That must be the going rate of course. FC Class, Dignity and Integrity surely won't have been bullshitting, so it's surprising that no else has stepped in with the cash.

Given the amount of players Forest have bought since they were promoted, some of them who have never gone on to play for them, I think their defence of holding onto Brennan Johnson until the last day of the window instead of selling him by 30th June, is somewhat fanciful. 
 

According to this, the year they came up, they spent €195m on players and sold €5m worth.
