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.
Staying up is an advantage.
Tallying up transfer fees is not a reliable way of measuring expenditure and income
And this is how the league eats itself.
Good job everyone. Watch it all burn because your team kind if sucks.
Makes no sense given its been stated that we gained no sporting advantage. What would their grounds to sue us be?
The vultures are circling lad, dodgy as tbh
You stayed up.
Absolute BS. We are now responsible for everyone and their mommy being relegated
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?
Fuck it, I want some compo too!
Go get it! They’re living off of your generosity!
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.
If these clubs prevail over Everton then City will also be on the hook for paying compensation to whoever came second in the Premier League when they won it and whoever missed out on a CL place when they finished top four.
Utd and Liverpool supporters licking their lips over that idea
keep going…
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
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.
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
Insert “stop it he’s already dead” meme
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.
Kahve solekol is a complete knobjockey.
Absolutely sick of the sight of him on sky sports News.
Wnker
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
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.
Everton watch city lawyers 🤣🤣
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
Poor Everton seems so harsh over 20 million
