  1. Everton broke the FFP rules. You do the crime, you do the time.

  2. Everton's 10 point penalty is getting off lightly for breaking FFP. Chelsea and Man City should be thrown out of the English league altogether if found guilty.

  3. Well, it's not funny ... so it must be.

  4.  @Daftdrunkk  for the 'reality check' they received, when they went straight back down.

  5. ​ @TeeJayMillz  No, City and Chelsea are accused of far worse and for far longer than Everton. If they are found guilty, they should have the book thrown at them. Their punishment should be to be expelled from the English Football League entirely.

  6. ​ @Owen_157  "doesn't match the crime?" What are you smoking? Other clubs have literally been relegated INSTEAD of Everton, during seasons where they broke FFP. 10 points penalty is absolutely NOTHING by comparison. By rights, Everton should probably be automatically relegated and the relegated teams they cheated, should replace them in the EPL.

  7.  @Idkwhattooputthisas1937  Pretty sure Everton have spent more than 500 million buying players since "the excuse" back in 2020, three years ago.

  8. ​ @Owen_157  Rubbish. Every club that renovates or builds a new stadium has to factor that into their costs, when deciding how much to spend on player transfers. If they had a budget for the stadium, then they should have spent less on players than they did. They even overspent beyond the leeway for losses allowed by the C ovid allowance. There should be no excuses or exceptions to the rules. That goes for Everton, Chelsea and Man City. They've all got it coming.

  9. ​ @Idkwhattooputthisas1937  Over a three year cycle, Premier League clubs were allowed to lose £105m. Everton were found to have actually lost £304m. Everton had a laundry list of excuses for why they went so far over the set limits that most other clubs stuck as close to as possible. Calculations to excuse those 'mitigating circumstances' helped to reduce the overall amount counted counted as 'lost' to the total you are referring to. The commission took into consideration (to the benefit of Everton), and wrote off much of the losses, such as new stadium costs and whether or not interest payments should be included, Covid costs and even the impact of the war on the clubs costs and spending. Even with ALL of those mitigating factors and writing off of around £180m of the clubs losses, taken into consideration, Everton's overall losses STILL managed to exceed the Premier Leagues set limits for losses over a 3-year period. So no, the idea that Everton were JUST £20 million over the limit is a myth. Everton, were £200m over the set limits. And were STILL over the limit, even AFTER all of the reductions had been factored in. So this was FAR from a 'borderline' infraction. Everton's spending was WAY (+£200 million) over the limits, and the penalty is correct.
