Why do I see endless waves of everton fans say they haven’t broke any rules, and everything will be turned over through appeal?
Has any one seen the latest athletic article?
Everton football club are really in trouble here, and I believe all 3 teams looking for a court case will win. That is another possible 9 point deduction.
Also, all this talk of a hostile goodison on the weekend, for what gain?
Second question would be, why does everyone now relate this to Man City? Since when have Man City ever been comparable to any other team in the prem?
Fairness is something we can all agree on, but it’s not the way it works.
Does anyone else think Everton are safe, even with another 9 point deduction, because I do. But I digress, why do Everton fans feel they have done nothing wrong?
According to the Financial Times
“However, the commission concluded that Everton’s losses were largely due to overspending on players, which it described as “unwise” given the clear risk of exceeding permitted losses and repeated warnings from the Premier League.”
Which seems to dispute your claim above.

I’m not sure it does. Our losses came from spending on players, yes. But we are permitted losses. What we can’t do is overspend - and that overspending was caused by an issue related to the stadium.
The overspending is just that your losses were higher than the agreed amount. So the stadium may have had an some impact but the majority of the impact was from players.
Everton allegedly got confirmation that the interest payments on their loan (many 10s of millions of pound per year) are deductible as per infrastructure spending rules, and as such planned accordingly. The PL changed their mind on this decsion part way through the 21/22 season (after the loan was secured) and the said they would no longer allow this to be deductible.
I’m just reporting that the claim it was solely or mainly due to stadium funding doesn’t appear to be the case based on the independent panel.
