That would make it worse, surely?   As state backed clubs could and would sport wash invest even more

Well its not stopping it at present is it? Newcastle can buy whoever they like etc etc. 

 

All it does is stop Leicester after 2 tope 6 finishes investing more in players, to meet artbitary rules on 'acceptable losses' 

 

The ony solution is higher turnover which the stadium project would/could bring, bu not in the championship. 

 

The club should have prioritiesed the Stadium expansion with its associated income streams. 

 

It doesn work, I am in favour of some equalisation but there has to be another way of achiving that.

Cannot disagree with plenty of that, it makes zero difference as it stands. Wages cap may offer some levelling, but unless it’s coupled with a block in clubs hoarding talent, is ineffective. Whatever way they theoretically implement, it must be enforced equally or is worthless, and as we are in a whore money league (not for long) there will be no appetite to reinstate a true meritocracy.

Whether if effects or benefits us to one side (we deserve no benefits from it)

 

They won't and can't punish Everton.

 

Man City are under investigation and if they punished Everton a precedent would be set and they'd have to punish Man City. Upsetting the establishment? The brand? Can't do that.

I still think the correct way to go here is for the PL to fine Everton and distribute to the teams that have been relegated 

Everton have broken the rules of the PL - not sure how we can have a legal case against them rather then the PL for not enforcing their rules 

....we cannot sue the PL, I am sure it is in the contract all the clubs signed up for!!!

You’d have to prove that Everton’s rule breach led directly to our relegation. Which is basically impossible to do.

One of the first things I learnt in law class in college a while back was that the standard of proof in English civil law is on the balance of probabilities.

OP you sod.

 

Was expecting a board statement of some sort about how to deal with the upcoming **** show.

 

Sadly if this is real, it will never happen.  Ultimately the relegated clubs would never be able to prove it has caused them to lose 100 million in revenue, Everton e.g. didnt tell Top to keep Rodgers employed.

Everton have cheated financially and we stuck to the rules. That gives Everton an unfair advantage. Plenty of mileage in that for a court case. 
 

However, Everton will spend more than us on a better legal team and we will likely lose. 
 

The fact remains that an unfair advantage gained by breaking the financial rules should be punished. 
 

The fact also remains that our board and owners should not have been so incompetent to allow us to sink into this position in the first place. 

Yes but investing on the team gave us Premier league champions, FA Cup winners, Charity Shield winners, two 5th place finishes and European football. Basically FFP has screwed us. Not able to sign anyone in the summer was pivotal in our demise.

According to the price of football podcast, Burnley and Leeds discussed this last season but when Leeds stayed up Burnley didn't want to go alone

 

It shouldn't be down to the relegated teams....it should be the league as a whole

[Dames]

Absolutely tinpot if we do this, the board has other concerns rather than chasing this. 

[Simonb]

We're going to finish 19th anyway so would've gone down regardless

We'll be on Judge Rinder next!

The main reason why I won't be sorry to see the back of PL football!.

It's a farce and completely corrupt.

It is pathetic from the club, but it does make a mockery of the rules we have had to abide by and the rules that have meant we can't spend anything. 

 

Unlike the deluded media though, I think even if Rodgers spent £60million in summer it wouldnt have been in the slightest bit a different outcome. 

Not pathetic and not the point.

[cityfanlee23]

To be honest as ridiculous as this is, there is a strong case here, Everton have massively broken the rules that's clear to everyone. But it's impossible to prove we were relegated because of Evertons spending breach, infact it's the spending that got Everton into this mess, in my opinion if they had not just scattergun blown money everywhere I think they would likely have a more cohesive squad right now but that's impossible to prove also. 

If clubs suing Everton lead to us and other clubs losing the case, but forcing the FA to hammer them next season, I'm all for it.

This is my major concern going into next season. I was hoping a relegation would cause us to address key issues at the club. Yet we’re already planning a tour to Asia that will conclude days before the start of the league we are likely to be competing in, and our big plan is to go after another club rather than looking at our own issues. The whole management/leadership at the club is rotten, their going to ruin us chasing their own interests.

Leicester City receive Premier League response over possible Everton points deduction
Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive amid an investigation into Everton's financial fair play situation

An investigation into Leicester City's relegation rivals Everton can not be fast-tracked by the Premier League according to reports.

The Toffees are being investigated over their financial fair play situation with the Foxes, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Southampton all expressing concern that it might not be decided urgently.

All five clubs are also reportedly ready to pursue significant compensation if Everton avoid relegation this season according to Mirror Online.

 

Everton were charged with an alleged breach of financial fair play rules in March. They have recorded huge losses of £372m over the past three years, in excess of the £105m limit that clubs can spend.

And the Telegraph report that the Premier League cannot intervene while the investigation is going on. Relegated Southampton and the other clubs involved in the relegation scrap reportedly feel the decision behind the investigation into Everton should lead to a possible points deduction if they are found guilty.

It is understood the timeline for ongoing contemplations is made by an independent commission and the Premier League cannot impede the process after changes have been issued. the Toffees have already been charged by the Premier League, having recorded massive losses since just before the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic three years ago.

One club told the Telegraph that they are expecting the case to be resolved at the beginning of next season and fear it could be too little too late. Other potential punishments include a heavy fine, spending restrictions and the Premier League's decision to charge Everton was said to be significant.

the board really are a bunch of no hoper losers

 

how embarrassing 

[fazzyfox]

How it looks

 

"Leicester City you are being relegated as you have earned just 30 points all season and are 19th"

 

Our Board:-

 

[Death by Football]

I think it’s terrible that Everton’s overspending has turned Danny Ward into a poor facsimile of a goalkeeper, made our defence run around like headless chickens, caused our midfielders to repeatedly gift goal scoring chances to the opposition and destroyed our attackers’ confidence in one on ones leading to us losing more than twenty games this season. Evertons profligacy can be the only reason why we didn’t sack a manager who lost the plot and our senior directors saw no reason to change. 
Muppets!

Aye but Everton sacked Frank Lampard and replaced him with Dyche with money they didn’t have and put themselves further into debt to keep themselves up. Strange people have an issue with Man City and PSG breaking financial rules but not the same energy for a team who have broken rules to keep themselves up. 

[Foxy-Lady]

why don't the PL just strip everton of all points and deduct all points gained by each team from their fixtures against them...?

 

Oh wait..........just realised that out of all the relegation contenders, WE won the most points against Everton this season so that wouldn't even work in our favour either.....!! 

 

Oh well, lets see if we can another straw somewhere to clutch at to deflect our failings.

 

(LCFC  =4, Soton = 3, West Ham = 3, Forest = 2, Leeds = 1)

I want the Prem to throw the book at Everton and Man City and soon Newcastle for their financial doping.  But we are going down due entirely to our own complete incompetence and Everton have nothing to do with that.
