6 + 2 Point Deductions

Telegraph

I mean for once the Club aint wrong.

 

[Juissi]

How on earth can they punish us twice for one breach?!?!

 

[Bez2k2k]

I mean for once the Club aint wrong.

But we didn’t. We argued 6 mitigation points.

 

[TGW89]

Too bad we're dealing with rules of a private club where they can make up whatever rules they like and enforce them arbitrarily rather than actual law

When it spills over into damaging people's livelihoods (redundancies post relegation/liquidation) and denying the city of Liverpool a chance of income/jobs/regeneration, then IMO there's more than enough grounds to clean out the PL for damages in a real court.

Hopefully this doesn't lead to further points deductions. But also, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the PL used this as a way of upholding the existing 10 point deduction.

 

[jazzy]

I don't think the club necessarily accepts it. The club disagrees with some of the adjustments that were not allowed in the first hearing.

Argument failed 1st time around but hey let's give it another go with a different silk.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So according to reports the club have admitted their guilt and then told the fans they are not guilty. We are an absolute laughing stock.

Club statement says we've 'acknowledged' the second breach.. not 'accepted' it.

They had no choice but to submit the 2022/23 books knowing that there was a breach there too because the last commission found that the amount that we breached over shouldn't be mitigated, which obviously the club still strong disagrees with, so in these latest books it'll be a similar case to the last breach - hence why a successful appeal would, theoretically, wipe both out.

What’s theEsk said ? Or has he already moved on to next years accounts

 

[Terrarian]

We should go on strike and refuse to play until this nonsense is sorted out because it is a psychological burden.

Everton statement:

Everton Football Club acknowledges the Premier League’s decision to refer a breach of Profit & Sustainability rules (PSR) for the assessment period ending with the 2022/23 season to an independent Premier League commission. This relates to a period which covers seasons 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23. It therefore includes financial periods (2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22) for which the Club has already received a 10-point sanction. The Club is currently appealing that sanction. The Premier League does not have guidelines which prevent a Club being sanctioned for alleged breaches in financial periods which have already been subject to punishment, unlike other governing bodies, including the EFL. As a result - and because of the Premier League’s new commitment to deal with such matters “in-season” - the Club is in a position where it has had no option but to submit a PSR calculation which remains subject to change, pending the outcome of the appeal. The Club must now defend another Premier League complaint which includes the very same financial periods for which it has already been sanctioned, before that appeal has even been heard. The Club takes the view that this results from a clear deficiency in the Premier League’s rules. Everton can assure its fans that it will continue to defend its position during the ongoing appeal and, should it be required to do so, at any future commission – and that the impact on supporters will be reflected as part of that process.

I'm at work so can't spend all day reading peoples posts but okay..

Everton should take a dim view of the PL framework. To be honest all of this is complete hogwash all clubs should be free to have losses unless it results in administration. It's there. What can you do?

I'm more angry with Everton because it feels like their get out clause is the existing sanction and appeal. Who the fug got us in this mess in the first place?
If we're a club that is STILL struggling to balance the books and STILL having to take loans to tie things over, then SELL the star players. We cannot have this
situation happen year after year we know the PL are a bunch of corrupt you know what's but we have to sort our own mess out one way or another. The people
at the club have been going through this long enough now a handful of years, to balance the books and be clear of trouble. Something is not right for them to
continue to be this bad.

 

[blulouie]

And the club say they "acknowledge" the decision of the PL to refer them

And that our figures are subject to change. I assume this is in reference to the appeal.

I acknowledge right now that we have been given a 10 point penalty this season. But I also think it's the most ridiculous penalty I've ever seen handed out in professional sport.

Looks pretty clear to me Tim.

 

[Walken]

Let this soak in, then its time to kick in and ante up toffees, lots of fighting to do.

Show some backbone.

 

[gwladysnight]

How on earth can they punish us twice for one breach?!?!

Because it is two breaches.

 

[when i score we riot]

Just baffled by this, how much more can go wrong at this point

 

[PhilM]

I think the sad thing for me personally, not sure about you lot. Last time I was genuinely angry but this time I'm just sad and accepting of our fate.

As am I. Whether we like it or not, we’re above the threshold, so now we can only provide mitigation and hope the appeal impacts.
