How are Everton in FFP danger? Feels like they barely spend
With how bad the newly promoted sides + Bournemouth are this season, I genuinely think they'd still survive.
Can someone explain to me why the Premier League cares about this? Do they not understand that clubs have to spend money? Of course, Everton isn't profitable. They are a bad team in the middle of a rebuild literally and figuratively. They want clubs to just sit on their ass and not try to improve?
Everton could potentially face a 13 point deduction for FFP
r/soccer : How could Man City do this?
Lmfao this place never fails to be a salt mine.
Just call the Man city lawyer's...
Hope city is looking at this 1v115 charges come on
Everton getting a 12 point deduction and City never getting anything would be hilarious
Should of hired MC lawyers
So if this happen, they will almost certainly go down. They would be 10 points off of safety and that is massive
Assume if this happens then the various Burnley, Leeds and Leicester cases are stronger?
Dammit to hell, knew I should have put money on Everton going down this year
Will still survive with how shite the bottom 3 are
Looking at your next 10-12 games there's a chance you'd still be in minus points by February though as you don't have a single winnable home game (unless there's an upset obviously). So even though the bottom three are shite you would potentially have 15+ points to make up by then.
it's an independent panel that is going to decide and this is what the Premier League is going to recommend to them for anyone who hasn't read the article
It doesn't say it anywhere explicitly, but from my understanding it would apply in this season
This season is probably the best one to have it since it has like 4 really bad teams so there's still a chance. Any other season and it's definitely bye bye
Would put them on -5 if applied now
What should they do in the January window? Just accept relegation and have a fire sale of their best players?
I feel like they'll probably get 6 points in the end, but even that would be massively damaging.
Is it to early for Ken to be turning in his grave?
Everton will still survive relegation on the last day.
He’s one of the main reasons we’re in this situation
Seems only fair we get a 1380 point deduction
Just remember kids... if you're not part of the illustrious Big Six™ that Sky Sports invented after we won the league, then the Premier League literally does not care about you.
Demands punishment while the likes of Man City and Chelsea have literally bought all of their success.
I get why fans of smaller clubs would try to push this narrative, but we don't actually know what is going to happen with City. There seems to be an acceptance they'll get off with it for some reason, but if found guilty their punishment would be multitude times more severe than a 12 point penalty.
And Chelsea haven't actually done anything illegal yet have they? Their potential breaches are in the future.
Pretty sure the method Chelsea used for their early purchases under Boehly are no longer possible. The loopholes have been closed.
So if they did them now it would be a breach but when they happend they were perfectly fine.
The point is that the rules have come in now that the supposed elite are established. Meaning they're protected from any would-be challenge.
This is almost every City fans argument against FFP
Reason number 1 of x why state clubs should never been allowed
Chelsea was technically not a state club even if Roman got rich off Putin but that kind of ownership wasn't healthy either. It's one thing to level the playing field but what Chelsea did was first level the playing field and then build a giant skyscraper on top of it
Apart from when the EFL complete let your lot off over FFP breaches
Oh shit I did not think that this would actually happen. Means that they'd be on -5 after 9 games having played almost half the games you'd put them as favourites in over the course of a season (Luton, Wolves, Fulham and Bournemouth at home, Sheffiled United away).
Makes you wonder what kind of punishment Man City will face in 5 years once that investigation has wrapped up (let's be real it'll be like a relatively small fine and a transfer ban).
It'll probably be no punishment, their lawyers will drag it out until it's too late to punish them
Boy i cant wait City to get fucked to! /S
Apparently FFP follows the “kick them when they’re down” philosophy
Why a decent manager like Dyche took that job is seriously puzzling. Man musn't be all right upstairs.
Would probably still stay up considering how bad the bottom 3 are but what a kick in the teeth for Everton when you compare it to the situation with City. Absolute joke.
They've already got away with massively over exaggerating Covid losses, and selling the naming rights to their (at the time) non existent stadium for a huge sum. This charge might be a technicality but they've been absolutely skating close to the edge of what is morally or legally allowed for years now.
Nah that much point deduction is absolutely massive
They ain't staying up with a 12 point deduction
Nah Everton are pretty bad this season too a -12 would be horrendous
That if it happens though which I doubt it will judging by what the article actually says
The most annoying part is that even if we get the deduction, it won’t just be over. Since the league okayed it at the time, we’ll end up in a long legal battle, probably lose even more money, and maybe get relegated somewhere along the way.
JUST ONE NORMAL DAY PLEASE. ONE.
Do City first.
Has no one told Everton that your suppose to bribe the FA with your oil money?
Leicester died for this
No team should be getting any punishment until Man City's has been delivered.
boy oh boy am I relieved our owners made their way to the top the old fashioned way: dildos, fleshlights and non-abrasive lube
Everton: Potentially avoids relegation because Sheffield United, Luton Town, Burnley and Bournemouth are somehow worse
The Premier League: Fine I'll do it myself
These type of headlines almost always lead to nothing.
What about City?
That could take them years to make up
Would be kind of sad if this was what made Everton get relegated for the first time. They're the only non big 6 team to have stayed in the PL since its inception.
