Times article, Burnley/Leeds threaten to sue Everton

[MikeH72]

Interesting that Leeds fans think it’s a nothing burger of a story not even worth discussing, yet here are Everton fans 53 pages deep flapping about a retrospective relegation.

Addicted to misery.

Interesting that most of them are seeing it as the toddler tantrum from their owner that it is.

I mean they have a point, we all know our accounts are dodgy but if they were that bothered and morally outraged they wouldn’t have waited till almost the eve of their relegation

How much compo have we paid out to sacked managers over the last few years, does that count as an allowable expense ? I think so.

No it isn't. Once the independent commission [sic] is set up they would have the power to investigate anew.

Well firstly it's not a case of "once". There is no real need for a commission to be set up, as no rule breaking has occurred.

Secondly an arbitrator can advise. Its up to the PL what it wants to do with said information.

The Leeds Unifed owner Andrea Radrizzani is a narcissist. I mean, get on to this;

You're asking for 'any' reason that I don't have great confidence in Everton's board of directors?

No more like it would be so so Everton if we get done for this.

Do Burnley and Leeds think we spent only 1.7m last summer just for a laugh? Even that would've been covered by the Kean loan fee.

I don’t mind Leeds, great club. Burnley though are a town of mutants. I’m all for throwing them some money if it gets them a decent haircut and out of Kappa trainers and Ben Sherman shirts the meffs.

Be like the end of Mr Deeds when all the town have corvettes

I think their issue is the 70million we spent in Jan.

I’m sorry on whom did we spend £70m in January?

You basically just described Leeds.

Just replace Ben Sherman for Stone Island, and it’s them.

No, may be an allowance expense but can't be ignored for the sake of this argument.

THEY COULD, *COULD, argue in court that we spent

16m Patterson
21m Myko
40m Dele

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Think Patterson and Mykolenko's fee covered by Digne (certainly when factor in wage) and Dele is sod all until next season/if he ever plays
... is it 30 games.

 

[barneygumble]

I think their issue is the 70million we spent in Jan.

Patterson - £12m
Mykolenko - £17 (initial £12m)
Alli -£0 - with £10 due if he plays in 20 games.

Outgoings -

Lucas Digne - £25m

So negative spend. Christ.
