Everton banned from signing players for the academy for 2 years

500k though. There goes the Lozano money

That wouldn't even cover the cost of a new house to bring his parents over from Mexico

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Not exactly like we've produced much from our academy lately anyways... Our U23's team might suffer but that's about it...

Fair play to us for getting caught again though...

Any good ?

Yep, world class - until he actually plays

400k by my basic maths lol

 

[Wayno]

If we’ve been dodgy and the precedent says so , then fair do’s. Can’t grumble.

Issue is whoever has allowed this to happen internally.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Think it’s time to bring this GIF back out for the phrase “tapping up schoolboy”

 

[EverBlue92]

Lets hope Unsworth is booted out the club.

Hopefully brands uses this as a good excuse to bring in his own academy staff and bin off all the current coaches

Meanwhile other clubs get a telling off.. for ruining young lads' lives (e.g. LFC fined £100K over Stoke Academy player but there's no evidence we ruined any kid's career) Just another Tony Kay moment for us.

While Man City should be fined at least 20 points and barred from the CL over the latest FFP revelations over Mancini's wages.

Presuming the fine is big as didn't we get done for tapping up trying to sign a Forest lad a while back? 2nd offence and all that.

If we have done it then we need to suck it up and not get caught next time.
