Ideas above our station if arsenal wanted him then we should have let him go and taken the comp. We should have been able to recruit a very capable replacement given where we were in the league and our squad.. Coaches would have been falling over themselves to come here. the fact we gave Rodgers such a huge deal to try and change the rules of the food chain (at that time) came from the top. And whilst we’d never give up the fa cup win, the mess we find ourselves in now is traceable back to that decision on Rodger’s contract and the idea that we could break the big six into a seven. (Even though we were commercially miles and miles away from them).

History has not been too kind to Henry …….

The don says they’re going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America ! I reckon that will only be in the USA - the rest of world won’t change

so could be £6 by now 😄 does look good

How much ??

Come to St Albans mate chicken george with chips and a drink for a tenner and then watch the game with a beer. you can check we’re losing on your phone and St Albans are also going down this season so it’s not too much of a difference 😄

Yes, I can see that this was part of the appeal commissions judgement https://kennedyslaw.com/en/thought-leadership/article/2024/everton-s-points-deduction-appeal-clarity-on-sanction-proportionality/# although other parts of it makes me think we should be expecting 8 as an initial sanction cos that’s the most the PL can get away with. Then we appeal down to 6.

Is that common sense speaking or has there been publicised acceptance of this ?? Everton’s first sanction was 10 points

Palace and West Ham may be fighting to avoid the drop. if so, those games wouldn’t be easy. More than likely the bottom three are down by then though.

If we’ve breached for 20m then we’ll expect a six point deduction on appeal. If we hadn’t sold kdh and enzo’s comp (still think that may be in July) then the breach would have likely led to a 10 point deduction on appeal. We’d never survive with a ten point sanction. Maybe the club felt 6 was possibly manageable with some luck. btw, if RVN wasn’t told about this then he might walk - i reckon he’s way more principled than most of the British coaches

Quelle dommage ……

Unless we’ve leaked this all ourselves in the hope that when we aren’t charged in the next couple of weeks the fanbase will breathe a huge sigh of relief and not notice that we havent brought anyone in 😄 the leaks are typical of what happened last Jan with Everton. they proved to be correct. Not sure exactly when they were publicly charged though. Assume that notification is done privately and may well be mid jan but I think the official stuff isn’t until beginning feb??

The accounting period simply defines the date that the breach occurred. we were a PL club end June 24 we will be charged by the PL and they will just luv it ………

Surely they can plead poverty on the basis they’ve spent their budget in the summer ?

Why would anyone come here on that basis ? trust me, we have either paid a big loan fee and small part of his wages or a small loan fee and a large part of his wages. would probs total £5m over a season which will be £4.2m as he came end august the only way out is if palace agree to cancel the loan - they won’t because they don’t want to strengthen us.

Everyone that leaves says what a great bloke he is presumably that’s cos they take us to the cleaners on their severance !

He clearly hates us …..

Needs to learn how to get booked twice in 20 games for a defender is dreadful gakpo at anfield and maatsen today would have been two important goals not conceded in the last three games

Faes + okoli = keystone cops defending !

No subs again

My groin just tweaked …….

A sale in Jan won’t help our 23/24 accounts which is what we’re at risk of a sanction for this season .

But both clubs could still agree to cancel the loan. Basically, Brighton can’t recall him.

No we are on a three year rolling assessment re psr (irrespective of which league we are in ) we got out of the previous likely breach by moving our accounting period back so that when we were a PL club our accounts hadn’t been finalised to end year 3. We ceased to be a PL club early June and our accounts didn’t close till end June. So we successfully argued that the Pl couldn’t charge us for those accounts cos we were an efl club at the point that the accounts ended. The efl could charge us but by the time the case was heard, we were no longer an efl club. So they technically can still charge us for that breach. At end June 24 we were an pl club and therefore the pl can charge us for losses to end June 2024. Most of us assumed that we’d met PSR by selling kdh and getting the money for enzo. Maybe we didn’t . We will find out early feb (although I reckon it leaks in jan)

But he isn’t worth that ! I reckon we struggle to get £6m. Might have to settle for £5m to clear up psr on hi.
