Relegation

[MikeH72]

If we go down the stadium won’t get built, the entire team will be sold and we probably start on minus points

If only. Reckon about 3 of them would have teams interested in them. We will be stuck with the majority of these in the Championship next season.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Aye I know. I was hoping for best case.

Maybe I've given up.

If we stay up the entire team needs selling anyway

 

[matty1878]

There was some pretty big caveats to it mate.

Would you really want to stay up if it kept us as is now? What's going to change?

ye i do as going down ends us mate it really really does

we will sink into the abyss

 

[matty1878]

Staying up won't matter now anyway.The scab 6 just got their superleague.

New Uefa regulations bring in 70% squad cost rule

Uefa has brought in new financial regulations which will limit clubs' spending on wages, transfers and agents' fees to 70% of their revenue.

Permitted losses over a three-year period have also risen from 30m euros (£24.98m) to 60m euros (£49.96m).

The new rules will come into force in June and clubs will have three years to implement them.

Uefa said "breaches will result in pre-defined financial penalties and sporting measures".

It is thought new reinforced punishments, including points deductions, demotion to lower-ranking competitions and potential exclusion from European football completely, will be introduced as part of the new regulations.

Clubs are expected to be allowed to spend 90% of their income in 2023-24, reducing to 80% in 2024-25 and 70% a year later.

The new "financial sustainability regulations" have been put together by Uefa and the influential European Clubs Association (ECA) and "are the first major reform" of the financial fair play (FFP) rules introduced in 2010.

"Uefa's first financial regulations, introduced in 2010, served its primary purpose," said Aleksander Ceferin, president of European football's governing body.

"They helped pull European football finances back from the brink and revolutionised how European football clubs are run.

"However, the evolution of the football industry, alongside the inevitable financial effects of the pandemic, has shown the need for wholesale reform and new financial sustainability regulations.

"These [new] regulations will help us protect the game and prepare it for any potential future shock, while encouraging rational investments and building a more sustainable future for the game."

In a statement, Uefa added: "While the acceptable deviation has increased from 30m euros over three years to 60m over three years, requirements to ensure the fair value of transactions, to improve the clubs' balance sheet, and to reduce debts have been significantly strengthened.

"The biggest innovation in the new regulations will be the introduction of a squad cost rule to bring better cost control in relation to player wages and transfer costs.

"The regulation limits spending on wages, transfers, and agent fees to 70% of club revenue."

who cares? i want everton to stay up don’t give a rats about anything else what so ever

I don't really get this thinking of wanting to go down so we can "rebuild". If we go down we are not coming back for a very very long time. The bigger teams that are "too good to go down" are the ones that tend to find it harder to bounce back. Leeds, Blackburn etc. I'm praying for our miracle...

 

[Bluestar]

In terms of mentality yes. In terms of playing ability it's miles better than 1998. Different times but that run in had likes of Claus Thomsen, Tony Grant and John O'Kane involved IIRC.

And Bilic getting sent off every other week so nothing really changes with proven players losing their heads at points in games.

And this squad has Kenny, Holgate. Keane, etc. it’s just as bad.

 

[matty1878]

i’m voting i will be either - be dead ( when we come back up )

or the world ends (as we was about to)

 

[PhilEFC]

If we're going to go down then let's at least use the exposure that we'll get to make a point regarding the owner and his board.

Think of Dylan Thomas's poem and run with it.

'Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.'

Enlightening in these dark days.

mate i coudnt care if we were owned by kfc

once we’re down kiss this club goodbye

i’m sick of repeating myself

i’m moving out this city infact the country

 

[Gilbert..]

I still cant believe this is happening.
Lost count how many times today at work i've suddenly thought we're going down.
No matter how much i say to myself we are reaping what we've sowed it just wont sink in.
I wish i could ditch this club but i cant.
This is hurting.

And that is the problem. We will sell anybody good just to stop liquidation and still be left with a horrid squad with nowhere to go in terms of wages and money for new players. Who is buying Keane after his season? Iwobi? So those guys are going to be part of next years squad. It’s a nightmare.

What those players, board and owner have done to this club and fans in a disgrace.

Hmmm, so not all doom and gloom, then.
