If we stay up we’ll have to fill the following gaps Pickford Lb Tarks Cb Rb Dm Garner Gueye/Doucs McNeil Dcl Rw 5 first teamers, no depth and still same issues in midfield and upfront. It’s going to be interesting.

That's what I think as well. As much as we want to think that there is a definitive agenda I also think that the first panel had no idea what to do.

Two things come out of it which is there is a possibility of a further points deduction although that may not be decided before the end of the season. Clearly nobody is sure why the original Appeal resulted in a 6 points penalty - neither the Notts Forest decision or this panels appear to...

Is that only in the Efl. Does it apply PL? I’m not sure!

The Forest hearing took 2 days although they had an earlier Fact Find. It suggests that there may be more to argue or that there are facts in dispute.

No idea. But the greater the prospect of Admin the better the deal which they would prevent. We all complain about the board lacking any business acumen but then expect any buyers to act out of love for Everton. Those days are gone and quite frankly we’ve tried that and this is our third...

The alternative view would be that they may actually be good businessmen. Why pay a lot for a business when they can get it for less at a better time. The club has been run as a vanity project for decades and that’s why there is such a gap between us and the top 6.

At the moment we don’t know. Not sure how much mitigation they have.

I think that there is a little confusion over whether 6 points is the minimum. The principle is what is the minimum punishment required for the breach taking into account the circumstances of the case - it is not 6 points is the minimum full stop. In our case it was found to be 6 points and...

If it was done to reduce taxes then it’s a criminal matter and the then Directors should be worried. I’ve not seen any suggestion that there is a Police investigation although if the there is or was it would delay any PL investigation.

Nope - "misdemeanours" or civil "offenses" are not used as terms of art in UK law. Everton provided information that was wrong to the Premier League about PSR calculations. Their accounts were correct it is simply the treatment of certain payments. And they did not act contrary to a duty of...

Maupay🤡

On both occasions the Premier League have followed their procedures so not sure about that argument to be honest. The fact that the clubs agreed to in-season determination for this season means that I can’t see it myself.

It would be useful to know how much we are over. It’s just a mess.

I know people are keen on the double jeopardy argument but it doesn't hold water. Every year we have to be compliant over a three year period. That means that wherever we are in a financial year we have to tailor our finances to ensure that we are complaint within that season. We were not in...
