Why do I see endless waves of everton fans say they haven’t broke any rules, and everything will be turned over through appeal?
Has any one seen the latest athletic article?
Everton football club are really in trouble here, and I believe all 3 teams looking for a court case will win. That is another possible 9 point deduction.
Also, all this talk of a hostile goodison on the weekend, for what gain?
Second question would be, why does everyone now relate this to Man City? Since when have Man City ever been comparable to any other team in the prem?
Fairness is something we can all agree on, but it’s not the way it works.
Does anyone else think Everton are safe, even with another 9 point deduction, because I do. But I digress, why do Everton fans feel they have done nothing wrong?
I see many Everton fans saying the club is guilty. There were two things that stuck out to me that make me not so sure. Everton are building a new stadium, to finance this they took out a loan. Everton allegedly got confirmation that the interest payments on their loan (many millions of pound sterling year) are deductible as per infrastructure spending rules as as such planned accordingly. The PL changed their mind on this decion part way through the 21/22 season and the said they would no longer allow this to be deductible. Obviously this added a big figure on to evertons spending, hence the 19.5 m overspend and player sales. Secondly an Everton player got arrested and suspended forcing Everton to end their contract with the layer and loosing out on his market worth. Now unforeseeable losses are allowed as mitigation, the PL however decided this could be a mitigating factor as it was a “business decision”.
The issue with the court case and why it probably won’t succeed is the precedent it will set. Would that mean if Chelsea and City are found to have broken rules, every team that finished below them could sue them for lost revenue/lost european football? Could Everton sue them as they missed out on CL in 13/14? It really takes you down a path that means the next decade will be spent in court deciding the results of the last decade.
