6 + 2 Point Deductions

[DanB90]

I'd say that a few weeks back the media were quite sympathetic but lately the narrative has changed. RS Carra is an obvious example but it would seem that the PL have exerted a lot of pressure on their 'PR machine aka Sky et al' and they are now toeing the line.

“You might even say the points deduction has done Everton a favour, bringing everyone together and spurred them on to win a couple of games”

You pissing hell mightn’t you cheeky pricks.

Hope this is the most boring transfer window in sky sports history, they totally deserve it and will obviously blame Everton.

well we ruined a transfer window before when we signed Richy so we can ruin another just by existing

They hate it at the moment, everyday they have that Transfer Centre show on and the last week or so it has been the same stuff that has been repeated day in day out but they just try and come at it from a different angle. You can see it's driving them nuts.

Lots of Saudi clubs have bought loads of players though for overinflated amounts. Not just Newcastle players. Are all the clubs they are buying from all owned by PIF as well then?

Considering there’s only 1 week left of the window and Newcastle knew before January that they had no cash as they had to submit their books in December, if they were flogging to one of their own clubs, surely they would have done it early on.

For the Saudis it's like the great Lemmy once put it: "It's all the same for me." They now have their crown jewel which will "occasionally" need some "grassroots" assistance. In a tribal society things don't work like in the "west".

It is amusing. The PL big selling point is it is the biggest, bestest league in the world attracting all the best players. Now various clubs maybe have loads of money but they can’t spend any. They have shot themselves in the foot

We needed the points deduction to galvanise us to escape the relegation zone that we weren’t anywhere near in the first place before the points deduction.

The narrative states "Everton, a club fighting against relegation also this year", so Everton will be fighting against relegation, no matter what.

-10 point deduction for Everton for upsetting & boring the telly clappers to death by ruining the transfer window, and making Jim White with his faux excitement and stupid yellow tie redundant.

while there were some add backs in 2020 (not many I presume if there was only 3 months of Covid impact), how can we still be in breach with £139m of losses falling off the 3 year cycle and we were only £19.5m in excess with £139m?

Just to be pedantic, 2019/20 hasn't fallen from the cycle yet as it's still averaged with 2020/21. There were tens of millions of add backs from 2019/20 just for Covid.

Of course, there's the same question of how we are still in breach when the 2018/19 loss of £100m odd went from the cycle. The answer can only be that the 2022/23 losses were terrible.

Does anyone else now see my point that I’d been banging on about for years?

That this obsession over football finance for some, whose love for accounting seemingly trumps their love for football, is totally ruining the actual game of football.

I got into football as a kid because I liked football. I didn’t get into it because I really really liked maths.

If you read a great many posts on various social media, you’d be forgiven if you thought you were following some business and banking moguls. I care not for spreadsheets. I still don’t want to know what amortisation is, or who Net-Spend plays for.

Honest to God, Jesus Christ, etc….

Nothing more to be sad - absolutely nailed it Chief.

As soon as “Everton Business Matters” started to become a thing that actual humans were interested in I knew we were spiralling out of control.

Genuinely how? That season ended in May 2020 (technically, allowing for the 2 month suspension of the league), the pandemic only started in March 2020. In terms of gates we only lost about 4 games worth. 2020/21 was the season we lost out due to covid.

I don’t think it’s fair that our spend from summer 2019 is grouped in with the pandemic season, at a time when nobody on earth could’ve predicted the pandemic would happen. We shouldn’t still be getting punished for buying Gbamin in 2019, whose contract has since played out in its entirety and expired.

We should be punished for eternity for buying Gbamin
