I understand that it is the board ineptitude, and incapability of recognising the issues arising and acting accordingly. But I also believe that had we not been building a stadium, we would not be in this position. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
There are mitigation that have not been taken into consideration and I do believe that our club should not suffer more or less due to those world events. Yes there is the Covid addbacks, but lets not forget that these were all checked and passed by external organisations. It was pulled up on by a number of clubs and ratified, so I'm not sure that is an argument that can hold water when talking about us 'getting away with it'.
I do think that there is a level of unwillingness to accept any responsibility on behalf of the board, but in their defence, many of these same people have been trying to state the case for removing the board for a few years.
Its really difficult to make judgements on the most recent breach until we understand numbers, but what we do know from the first is that Everton believed themselves to be on the right side of it at their initial PSR presentation, it was only after flat out refusal to accept that by the PL board that we had to accept that with those things not considered, we have breached. Hence working alongside them.
The most recent charge could be really telling as dependant on the appeal, that could be quashed entirely with no case to answer, but, if it is STILL over the threshold then there are serious questions that need to be answered as I have no idea how we would get there with our visible spending over the last few years, certainly throughout the period we are now being judged.
As an aside, and I realise that the comments were not aimed specifically at me, but you may remember a while ago that I said I am really, really bored of the whole 'RS' shouts to all who don't agree with the general consensus. I'd genuinely just knock it on the head if it was aimed so regularly at me. What that does though is expedite the creation of an echo chamber.
