TonyTonyTony Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 They still have to play Wolves, West Ham, Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leicester & Arsenal. Penultimate game Liverpool away.

MichaelRobartes Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hard to believe how much they've spent when you look at their squad. They have a really unfortunate habit of buying once-promising players on the way down, several of whom play in more or less the same position.

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I think Ted Lasso will save them and throw Leeds under the bus at the last minute to save them.

Show Me The Money! Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 They are going to have to rely heavily on there home form to get them out of this mess.

WessexPest Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) I’ve never cared for them as their fans have always acted like d***s at the Gate, most notably during an FA Cup tie in 1995. Trip to Goodison would be good, though - would be first visit for City on league business (or any business for that matter) since 1979!

Chairman Mao Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I was at Spurs last night. Everton were really dreadful, could have been 8-0. Lampard's tactics were woeful and thinking Allan or whatever his name is could cover both Kane and Son dropping deep was delusional. Also, I've not seen a player give up like Richarlson in a very long time, embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Now reports that they could face a deduction or be charged anyway for breaching FFP/Profit and Sustainability regulations. If you look at their losses in 2017/18, but especially 2018/19, 2019/20 and still to be released for last season they were always in the danger zone- their fans though say that they've been working with the PL, therefore risk minimal. Any charges if they arrive would be next season. Even if they are fine to 2021, their losses surged by £98m in 2018/19 which is FFP wise the starting point to 2022. Think their pre tax, pre allowance pre Covid osses were not far off £265m across 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20.

Baba Yaga Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 They got 14pts in their first 7 games but since then it's only 8pts from 18. Personally I think they will stay up but it's by no means certain. Next 2 games both at home to Wolves and Newcastle, very interested to see how they turn out. Still have to go to Burnley and Watford which look like huge games for them if they don't turn things around soon. Financially I wonder if Usmanov was more involved with the club that he is on paper where it's Moshiri's name above the door, now Usmanov has been sanctioned I suspect they are in the shit and going down this season would be a complete disaster.

SJ making it sound a bit like the EFL were with Derby for too long, i.e. appeals kicking the issue into the long grass. However, if Everton are relegated just by virtue of their points total, and are found to have breached the Prem ffp limits, can the EFL apply a points deduction at the start of next season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I shall have a listen- he's always a good listen. I think the PL didn't expect anyone to breach, perhaps a bit of a loss...they had the power although I say this without having listened yet to impose some kind of budgetary limits. The rules are joined up albeit with different limits so I would be surprised if the EFL didn't have the power to charge etc. £105m in a 3 year period PLUS allowable costs plus the averaging plus the Covid allowances- it seems impossible to breach, how do they do it? I would prefer a sanction first and then appeal- at EFL and PL level.

Garland-sweden Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Was at Everton-West Ham 2-2 many years ago. We were going to Sheffield and see SW-City 0-1 Maynard scored. Since then I kind of like Everton. Prefer Everton, not Liverpool. They got serious problems this season and can be in Championship next season. As long as I remember They have always played in first division or PL. Remember their stadium was old but I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 On a financial note, Jordan now thinks they are compliant- hard to say either way but it looks touch and go, let alone to 2021 as we have 3/4 of the pieces needed to make an assessment. Limits £105m in 3 years but what with Covid, £35m in year 1, £35m in year 2 and a combined average of £35m in years 3 and 4- that's before usual allowances and Covid costs. https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/03/10/simon-jordan-daily-mail-report-is-wrong-everton-will-not-face-ffp-sanctions/ Will put a spreadsheet together and post when done...it's hard to say in some respects but the losses are huge.

Was wondering that myself tbh- some of that might be deferred revenue- mentions timing differences of £25.9m so perhaps a good accounting treatment is to halve the two for that bit but controversially, they appear to have done a Stoke- mentioned it a while ago but £30m+ in Covid Impairment seems to have been possible though I cannot find the explicit reference to it being accounted for in that way. Like to think it isn't just self-certification with Covid limits and FFP or we may as well all pack up and go home! Found it, £26.3m in respect of Covid claimed Impairment.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Done some quick calculations and yes some are estimates albeit from reasonable sources and the odd extrapolation, some are absolute numbers. Spreadsheet not working properly to put on here, but I make it a £10m overspend to 2020 albeit in isolation as we have no 2021 accounts yet. That is even taking in the £67.3m in Covid costs fully and I certainly doubt it should be that! In short, FFP allowance following all allowable and claimed Covid deductions, £105m, currently stands at £115m or so. IF they get/edge through to 2021, by dint of an £8m P&S profit in 2017/18, then their next big issue comes with an £88m P&S loss in 2018/19 alone to the current season. A negative swing of about £96m between Reporting Periods!! Edited March 10, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Here's that work in progress spreadsheet. Technically when we take what we know and extrapolate, halving the impact for Covid but awaiting last year's accounts they are compliant...just- but a big piece of the jigsaw still missing without the 2020/21 accounts. Taken in isolation (which it isn't due to Covid), they're about £10.42m over to 2020! The academy numbers are a little bit sketchy but an article in 2019 suggested that it was surging by 80% in 2018/19, up to £4.5m, 80% rise means £2.5m in 2017/18. For Women's Football, bit lazy but have just taken the gross expenditure for each season. N/A for certain bits because a) I expect that they were compliant to 2018 and 2019 and b) Couldn't be bothered to go back and check further for the periods leading up to it.
