Can only imagine their pisstaking if this was one of our players modelling handbags and gender neutral clothing. 

[Harry Squatter]

He is such a painfully average footballer trying to make a name for himself.

 

Most of his fashion sense seems to revolve around handbags, kipper ties, skirts and keks that are too baggy for MC Hammer. Plus they probably cost thousands. 

 

[Elite]

He looked like he's was going to be a very good player at one point. Maybe he should focus on football instead of trying to be a fashion icon.

I can't believe it's only taken Dexy's denim jump suits 40 years to evolve into checks.

[Chocoholic]

Let's face it, the word 'Hype' in their branding does the heavy lifting.

 

Not that there's a long queue lining up to model their stuff, but if they're trying to sell stuff, they must be wishing there was a much better quality player with a higher profile and much stronger influence on their intended market. Whether he's modelling clothes or cars, or anything else, a player who barely plays, and then barely scores when he does play, considering he's a striker, has got to have a massive underwhelming effect on their marketing.

Well their target market will barely be able to afford to wear that sort of shit, and are probably even less like to score when they do, so there's that.

Not having this. 
he scored like 3 goals under that cunt Dunc and Everton fans labeled him the next Messiah. 
 

only Everton and Engerlund fans think he's decent. 
he was shite;

He scored 16 PL goals last season.

Just looked at the shite's remaining fixtures, didnt realise they have to play Leicester home and away in their last 10. Guess one is a game they called off due to covid?

 

I reckon they'll do well to pick up 4 points. Can Watford or Burnley better the 29 points if they did?

There's something going on about this isnt there? I mean everyone knows the shite sell fewer shirts compared to the top 6 clubs. On a pro rata basis, fans of the top 6 would import no less a percentage of blag shirts instead of from club outlets than the shite do.

 

The fact more shite shirts are being impounded must surely mean the cretins doing something wrong?!

 

It's like the Colombians importing coke. They tip off customs on small runs so the big ones get past while they are busy

They arent going to get away with it, you know!

 

Several Premier League clubs are conducting a forensic analysis of Everton’s accounts amid suspicion they have breached the top flight’s spending rules for the last two years.

Sportsmail disclosed last month that Everton have reached an agreement with the Premier League in which they consult over signings and new contracts, to avoid being found in breach of the regulations.

That revelation angered many of their rivals.

Everton previously reached an agreement to avoid being found in breach of the regulations

Everton delayed publication of their 2020-21 accounts last week, adding to the ill-feeling, with many clubs baffled as to how they can have stayed within the spending limits after announcing losses of £120million. Their total losses over the last three years are a staggering £373m.

Under Premier League rules, clubs are only permitted to lose £105m over a three-year period, although investment in stadiums and infrastructure, women’s football and community projects are exempt from the calculations, and additional allowances have been made for the impact of Covid-19.

Like all clubs, Everton suffered with no fans during the Covid pandemic, incurring losses. (No, all clubs suffered!)

Middlesbrough and Wycombe began action against Derby over their accounting practices during the 2019-20 season, although Middlesbrough’s case has now been dropped.

Everton have leant heavily on the pandemic in explaining the losses in their accounts, stating that Covid has cost them £170m over the last two years with a £103m loss in 2020-21 alone.

Those claims have been met with scepticism from some rivals. Sources at several clubs have pointed out that Everton’s write-offs due to Covid are way above most of those in the Premier League, despite the fact their missing gate receipts are considerably smaller.

Everton’s published accounts have done little to allay such concerns because they only provide details of £82m of the losses, split between £67m in 2020 and a further £15m in 2021.

Everton are adamant they are complying with the Premier League's sustainability rules

 

That £82m of Covid-related losses is broken down as £22m in match-day revenue, £9m in broadcast rebates, a £17m drop in commercial income and a further £34m missing from other sources such as player transfers.

Everton’s rivals are not convinced by their calculations, however, and have taken matters into their own hands after failing to get the answers they were looking for in Premier League shareholders’ meetings.

The £373m losses at Everton over the last three years are the highest in the Premier League by far, with Chelsea and Arsenal the next in line with losses of £222m and £213m respectively, leading to incredulity that they can be explained away by the impact of the pandemic.

Everton are adamant they are complying with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules and are confident that their 2020-21 accounts will be signed off by the top flight.

They next face second-bottom Burnley in a crucial match at Turf Moor on Wednesday evening

Potential sanctions if the club are charged with a breach include heavy fines and a points deduction.

In addition to their financial problems, Everton face a battle on the field to stay in the Premier League. Frank Lampard’s side are just three points above the bottom three following Sunday’s defeat at West Ham, their fourth league loss in five matches, and relegation would be a financial calamity because the EFL’s application of their spending rules is far stricter.

‘Beleaguered Everton’. Best name for a horse ever.
 

Should get an old donkey nearing the end of its life and enter into the Grand National under that name.

[Dr Nowt]

“It would have won if none of the other horses had legs and there were no jumps”.

[dockers_strike]

Surely the stadium must beat risk, yes? They cannot continue to write losses off as associated to the stadium to evade the financial limits so where is the funding coming from?

 

Everton will immediately start cutting costs by £50 million as part of efforts to avoid a financial fair play punishment if they are relegated to the Championship.

 

A first fall from the top tier since 1951 would prompt an estimated £73 million drop in revenue from the current £193 million the club receive in the Premier League.

 

Total wages increased from £165 million to a record £183 million in the last financial year, although the club are understood to have brought about some spending reductions since.

 

Sources close to the club recognise they would have to trim costs by £50 million to fall within profit and sustainability rules. However, there are denials at claims the drop would spark a fire sale of players, as other options are available to reduce overall spending.

 

Brutal cost-cutting appears inevitable, however, for a club who have lost more than £100 million for three successive years.

Everton’s plight appears to be complicated by multiple sources claiming senior first-team players do not have significant relegation clauses in their contracts. Everton have previously insisted the players do have reduction clauses, but cannot go into detail about how they work or how significant they are because of employee confidentiality.

 

The departure of James Rodriguez, the Colombia international, has helped ease the wage bill but, outside the top six, Everton’s is among the highest. Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes, Jordan Pickford and Richarlison are all thought to be earning just over or around £100,000 a week.

If the club go down, Richarlison would be all-but-certain to leave as he is vying for a place in the Brazil squad. Dele Alli is another whose future would be in serious doubt given Everton owe Tottenham £10 million if he plays 20 games. Since signing in January, he has played only six matches, although he has been tipped to have some involvement against fellow strugglers Burnley on Wednesday.

 

England goalkeeper Pickford would be likely to attract top-tier interest. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has suffered a difficult campaign since returning from injury, would also attract offers, although Arsenal interest has cooled. Everton would hope to hang on to Anthony Gordon, however, following his breakthrough campaign.

 

Frank Lampard’s fate would also be uncertain, given the manager is also said to have no break clause on his two and-a-half-year deal. The Bramley-Moore Dock stadium will not be affected, however, as investment is independent from the running of the club.

 

“What differs Everton’s plight with the other clubs currently around it is the fact that costs have gone out of control in recent years,” said Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University. “Based on my fairly rough estimate, the average weekly wage is 85 grand a week. The average wage of Burnley is about £43,000 a week and you can bet your bottom dollar that the club does have relegation clauses embedded into contracts.

 

“Burnley is a Premier League club which acknowledges that it might be in the Championship and budgets accordingly and plans accordingly. Everton under Farhad Moshiri have been focusing on the other end of the table – trying to break into the top six, get European places and then grow the club from there. If that doesn’t materialise, clearly there are financial challenges.”

 

Everton are just three points clear of Watford in 18th place, albeit with two games in hand, and four above Burnley, who have lost four league games on the bounce. Everton, meanwhile, have won just two league games in 13.

 

“The work doesn’t always replicate on the pitch but you have to keep going,” Lampard said. “Every player and team goes through moments. We created the better chances [against West Ham] and enough to score two or three goals. If we do that we win games and we have 10 more to do that.”

They'll blame 'The Scab 6' one more than the others, powers that be etc. 

[Lee909]

Love the 'transfer fees lost due to covid'

 

Outside of Digne,Richarlison,Pickford,DCL they've barely got a player that would generate any income. They sold one of them and were never selling the others. 

[aws]

If they can count drops in player market values as "Covid losses" which should reduce their real losses then shouldn't the lower market prices they paid for players be increased by "Covid gains" and increase their real losses? 

[Pete]

Hope. They. Go. Bust.

I remember one time I got arrested on multiple counts of breaking and entering, but I agreed to consult with the Police before burgling again, so that was all good. I got to keep the stolen stuff, too.

That puts it into some sort of perspective; more than 50% more than the second-biggest losers.
