Financial Fair Play investigation

[Mrbluenose]

If the owner / Chairman and board have sent in incorrect figures, surely they have to sign them off, well on my book that's plain fraud. And they should pay the price and not Everton football club, after all "you can't hurt the fans" and I'm sure that will be the narrative from Sky sports Neville/ Carragher etc.

Different rules for the likes of us mate, unfortunately.

I’d just some them the list of signings we have made…

Then tell Leeds , saints, Forrest and Leicester that if we didn’t spend that money we wouldn’t have even been near the bottom 3 In The first place.

Without bolasie, Morgan, walcott and tuson and co they would have been relagated with 10 games left to play lol

 

[Tel001]

We will be fine as long as we have hired a competent barrister to represent us

Enter bill kenwright …

Better call Saul

 

[Tel001]

If we get off lighty - I can see an other buyer blowing 777 out of the water - debts paid off & purchase of our club .

Knowing our luck it will be 666 group from North Korea

100%in theory agree with you about the fans but you then have the issue with the other clubs being impacted

I can’t believe that it is a matter of fraud after all pushing boundaries when it comes to the accounts is par for every course.Back to the clear difference between avoidance and evasion

Let’s just suppose there is an issue with the numbers if you don’t punish a club how does that benefit the other clubs that possibly have been impacted ?

The owners, chairman, paid officials act on behalf of the club and alas their actions always impact on th3 supporters

If the ffp regulations are as 'well' written as the football laws and the officials interpretation of them I foresee a massive legal mess coming up

….the hearing is getting close, does anybody know if we hear the decision on the day or whether we’ll have to wait a while longer?

According to that Benj (Bobbles mate) the club are quietly confident about all this.

They could probably tell us the verdict now, we’re not expecting to have a fair hearing are we?

Confident of what mate? getting a slap on the wrist or everything being above board?

….I’ve no idea. Only thing with that view is the legal precedent it takes for the cases that follow, particularly Man City’s.

Everything being above board I guess.

The threats of litigation from the relegated sides is probably going to work in our favour.. it would be a nightmare seneario for the PL.. where would it stop then? A wrong VAR decision relegating a team or costing a champuons league position.. Every club in the PL and Championship could have a go at City given their YO YO status for decades.

Agreed. It would certainly open a can of worms if we were punished, surely the PL want this to go away as much as we do.
