6 + 2 Point Deductions


If the rules are set to be updated in August due to them currently (and very obviously) not being good enough, then all current ongoing actions should be postponed until the new rules are in place so it is fair across the board and any punishments already issued by the current not fit for purpose rules should be reversed with immediate effect.

I mean it is just common sense, something that is completely devoid in the premier league.

Forest are in a position whereby their argument centres around selling Johnson later for more money.

If they get that as a mitigation then it opens up our mitigation re Richarlison which was scoffed at.

Forest are in the position of using their appeal which may help us and thus relegate themselves

Yeah but you just know that our appeal will be heard first and all mitigation rejected and an hour later the panel hears Forests and agrees with them on the Johnson sale.

You claimed earlier we deliberately manipulated the books. Even though it was said explicitly we did not deliberately breach the rules or mislead. Thats a totally unproven allegation.

So why do you keep referring to the findings when you clearly haven't even read them.

We are building a stadium and bringing much needed investment, yet are being punished on a technical accounting point regarding interest and allowable PSR infrastructure deductions, at a time of far far higher rates than when we started to build.

My question to you and the premier league, is why is a club who are constructing a new stadium being punished under sustainability rules?

Would we be in breach without the construction project?

Your long winded defences of the premier league position are tedious and its bizarre you would take their side on this after we were issued the biggest penalty in top flight history.

You clearly haven't read the report.

Even if the Premier League had allowed all of our daft PSR workarounds. The transfer levy and the Stadium interest we would still have breached PSR and would have faced a penalty.

The board admitted to the Independent panel that we breached PSR but then came out and made a provocative statement in the press. We are being played by the board.

From the report.

At the pre-trial review on 4 October 2023 both parties were given permission
to amend their pleaded cases. In its Amended Answer Everton admitted it
had abandoned its claim to be entitled to many of the additional exclusions
that it had advanced in its PSR calculation, and accepted that it had exceeded
the PSR threshold. Maintaining its entitlement to exclude the Transfer Levy
and the pre-planning stadium interest adjustment, Everton argued that its
breach of the PSR threshold was £7.9 million. It further maintained that it
was entitled to substantial mitigation.


Even with the daft PSR work arounds we still breached PSR. So please stop with the nonsense regarding the Stadium.

Well Everton could argue that 17.4m we have tried to write off which the PL have said no to, that if we sold at Onana for 60m, that covers that and more doesn’t it.

Everton could have avoided the initial breach by selling a player or two and replacing them with the most promising academy products, but decided to blag it out instead and got caught. Then in the following financial year, when they know they need to bring themselves back to the right side of the divide, they could have decided to sell a few players in the last transfer window, but again - ridiculously - decided not to do that.

Everton are basically the guy who buys 20kg of luggage on a Ryan Air flight, then stands arguing the toss at check in because they are getting charged £60 extra because their bag is 25kg. Then does exactly the same on the way home.

Just sell Michael Keane, Youseff Chermiti and Ben Godfrey, put an end to this nonsense.
