As it stands it's an uncompetitive constraint of trade ... would be bordering on illegal to implement something like it in any other arena ...
Tbf I agree
I have been consistent in that since the start
But as I say the rules are the rules

can’t just pick and choose rules that you are going to follow
That would be like allowing someone to pick up a ball because - hang on…

Whatever you think of Everton this is bleak reading for any fan of the game if it's reliable. There's probably onto 2 or 3 clubs in the country that could have survived this kind of mismanagement and Everton weren't one of them.


Don’t panic, we will get some local fans outside the high court as we pretend to almost go out of business like Liverpool did u der hicks and the other bloke.
 
Things are looking very, very bleak for Everton financially - completely aside from the PRS deductions.

Closing Summary: https://theesk.org/2024/04/11/the-inescapable-reality-for-evertons-directors/

The role of Everton’s directors

I’ve talked endlessly about the role of Everton’s directors for many years. Never has the need for them to act responsibly been greater than it is now. Such is our plight that their legal duties must overcome any other interests or beliefs they may have.

Their recklessness in managing the running of a football club has been laid bare in the Commission hearings (regardless of how one feels about the Premier League, PSR, the Commission’s decisions etc, this is irrefutable). Their inability to secure long term, sustainable funding for the stadium incomprehensible.

The decision of Moshiri to agree the sale of his majority stake to 777 Partners and his unwillingness to seek alternatives is beyond comprehension.

He and they’ve got us to this point. A point in which realistically, despite there having been alternatives, the only realistic outcome is insolvency. Whilst I’ve stated previously (and stick by) the belief that the acquisition by 777 Partners was the worst of all outcomes, the second worst, administration is seemingly inescapable.

I don’t believe the directors can ignore this most likely outcome any longer.

It is the most desperate of times.

****ing hell, you are invested in this if you are reading the esk stuff.

this is a bloke who, wanted a 65,000 seater stadium and did the coatings/payback etc. bloke is a bore, because when pulled up on the covid costs/increased costs now incurred he said the club should have planned for that in financing…remeber, he wanted 10,000 extra seats!
 
Liverpool losing. That Scamacca who was **** for West Ham scoring.

Scored a handful for them in Europe in fairness. I saw a tiny bit of him before he went there and thought he looked good, he's still only young and is having a good season. He's one of those who, if he hadn't already failed to set the Premier League alight would be linked heavily to half the teams in the league now he's 25ish.

He’ll be delivering pizzas when he’s 30.
 
Liverpool will turn this around.

should be able to come back from a 2-0 home loss with the quality they have.
