"Everton were given the very distinct impression that the cost of interest on loans to build their Bramley Moore Dock Stadium would be excluded from sustainability considerations, just like City's.
They argued that six other clubs had been able to keep them out of the financial calculation and that this was an investment in the long-term future of a club and its city.
The Premier League agreed. Last week's independent commission report, which ruled against Everton, relates precisely when - January 14, 2021 - in black and white, in points 26 and 27 of its findings.
Yet read on a further two pages, to points 33 and 34 of the report, and you see the picture changing. It relates how a call, in December 2022, from the Premier League to Katie Charles, Everton's director of legal services, informed the club that a subsequent stadium interest payment would count towards the losses" and "the rules had been changed, mid-process. ".

Corruption from top to bottom.
2.) 19 Jan 2024 00:02:53
It isn't corrupt glt59. Probably ill thought out or trying to show they are capable of self Governance without the need of a Gov appointed regulator.

Vardi being mentioned now? Guys 37 but weirdly I could see him and DCL being a good combination.
My biggest worry is with Vardi and Young we're looking at one season. Then a complete rebuild yet again.
Are the club just hoping to survive this coming season and get ffp under control, then kick on the season after.
I could believe this if it wasn't for the fact that I don't think our board are that clever.
{Ed025's Note - i cant see it myself woburn, his legs are gone and his tart is a friggin nightmare..
1.) 12 Jul 2023 18:12:12
Not for me.
2.) 12 Jul 2023 18:13:28
I know it's a simple mistake Woburn, but when you put Vardi, I could think only of Imre Vardi, and not Jamie Vardy ??.
3.) 12 Jul 2023 18:17:47
More likely Oliver.
4.) 12 Jul 2023 19:07:54
Not for he either.
5.) 12 Jul 2023 19:53:42
Dentielad I’ve reached a point we’re I would take anyvardy right now ?.
20 Mar 2023 10:14:50
We can't seriously be considering signing Antonio next season? The guy will be 33 .
If this was to happen then we have definitely learned nothing from our past mistakes. Just hope it's the papers stirring it because we have a young striker who actually might turn out decent, and that would upset some of the press boys.
1.) 20 Mar 2023 12:13:13
I saw article that said the Swedish striker from Coventry is also an option. He should be our 1st option, not Antonio. The hammers all time premier leading goalscorer on 59 goals. Bloody haarland nearly has that in his 1st season and its not over yet lol.
{Ed025's Note - i agree dentie..
2.) 21 Mar 2023 17:00:00
Doesn’t Simms deserve a run of games, he has all the physical attributes and a surprising turn of pace and just may turn out to be a serious option as striker.
He offers an awareness of what’s going on around him e. g. his first time ball to Decoure along with his ability to find space to attack following Decoure’s. sublime touch to him against Chelsea.
I don’t subscribe to the “” he’s only 22 let’s not push him” for those that have watched the 66 World Cup, a 21 year old Alan Ball run the show and was man of the match.
If you’re good enough age doesn’t matter.
25 Feb 2023 13:05:00
Just watching Gyokeres for Coventry. This lad is one powerful unit. May have missed the boat here. If we were in fact in for him that is.
{Ed002's Note - Viktor Gyokeres (S) Everton looked to him in the summer and they could look again as he is having a great season. Wolves interest will have gone with Cuhna signing. Leeds will look to him as a Bamford replacement and have approached Coventry with the signing of Rutter not impacting their interest. Coventry have resisted a sale up to now but you can expect him to make the move in the summer.}
1.) 25 Feb 2023 14:07:53
I'm watching too Woburn. Not so sure on him tbh. Looks a very low quality game.
2.) 25 Feb 2023 22:02:06
Maybe Chris, but you can’t knock the lads energy and commitment. I believe he would have made a huge difference to our forward line.
3.) 25 Feb 2023 23:02:36
Is he better than what we have?
If the answer is yes, we were fools to not try and get him in.
4.) 26 Feb 2023 11:05:28
He is better than what we have. The lad wants to win and his only thought when he gets the ball is to go forward. Also you play a poor pass to him and he bloody let’s you know.
He is far to good for the league he is in, and is basically dragging Coventry into a play off position.
I personally think he would have been perfect for us, and for what they were asking would have been a bargain.
5.) 26 Feb 2023 19:05:01
I've since seen some stats about him and he is doing well and tbh is the kind of player we should be in for. Think he is the second highest scorer in the championship but Coventry are 11th so that's clearly good. And yes he is better than what we have, but that is not hard.
But I just thought the game looked very very slow and the step up to the prem from that type of game would be a big one. But don't get me wrong I'd much rather see him play over Maupay.
I really don't know what's going on with Dom. I'm starting to think it's more than what we are being lead to believe. Was supposed to be close to coming back against Leeds but now he's nowhere to be seen. He's impossible to rely on. Come summer a starting 1st 11 striker must be a priority.
{Ed025's Note - it was last year, and the year before chris..
6.) 26 Feb 2023 23:35:05
True that. A bigger problem is we don't really seem to have goal threats in any of our other players either.
7.) 27 Feb 2023 09:00:20
Think dyche needs to try something slightly different, however can’t see him going with gray up top as clearly doesn’t seem to trust him.
Wonder if there are any youngsters that could be called upon?
8.) 27 Feb 2023 23:10:06
Need to play 2 up front as none of our forwards are good enough on their own.
9.) 01 Mar 2023 13:20:58
Problem with that blue boy is none of our midfielders are good enough to play in a 2 either.
15 Jan 2023 17:31:12
So if rags are to be believed we are looking at a 32 year old striker who has scored 1 goal in 12 games this season.
Should fit right in.
1.) 15 Jan 2023 17:58:03
Someone needs to take a long hard look at where we stand, Owner, Board, Manager, players, DOF, s and i can't see that happening in the short term, protests, threats ( if they happened ) book stops with the club as a whole, if its a 31 year old, we as supporters need to get behind the team, as we did at home last season, West Ham is a big Game, 3,6,9 points could take us over half way, we need to trust Frank, and us to drag us away, if we need to Sell, then so be it, no ones safe, COYB.
2.) 15 Jan 2023 18:01:35
Sounds like a shoo in slam dunk cert Woburn, and those who disagree will lose their key to the executive loos mate.
3.) 15 Jan 2023 18:02:19
Who’s going to do that? They employ themselves.
Moshiri made it clear that he thinks all is well after a review so we’re screwed.
4.) 15 Jan 2023 23:36:35
Wait till it's mathematically impossible to stay up. Oh boy would I like to be a fly on the wall of the boardroom. FM will be lashing out left right and centre. Nothing will be his fault. Everyone will have let him down with lies lies lies. I hope that does not come.

I hate this hoofball crap. We do have players who can play football, but they spend most of their time watching the ball fly over their heads.
I seriously can't believe the players like playing like this, and I know the fans don't enjoy watching it.
If we're going to go down then let's go down playing football, not this crap.
1.) 19 Feb 2024 23:09:48
Here, here, absolutely agree. Show some creativity for gods sake, hurling the ball forward is a complete waste of time.
27 Jan 2024 17:17:07
Well ed25 that didn't work.
{Ed025's Note - it really didn’t Woburn. Our forwards were gash mate even though the service was poor. Beto proved why he is on the bench every week. Very slow and not good in the air. All in all 2 very poor teams and to be honest I’m not too bothered about going out..
1.) 27 Jan 2024 18:26:37
It answers why we haven’t played 4-4-2.
{Ed025's Note - it was 4-4-0 today BR..
2.) 27 Jan 2024 19:11:15
Anyone else underwhelmed with football at the moment, I watched the Netflix series about the 6 nations today instead of our game, I'm falling out of love with football although I've started going back to watch our local game all blood and thunder.
{Ed025's Note - do you know what B&T i feel exactly the same, i have fell out of love with the game and it doesn,t really bother me if we lose or not mate, i dont know if its the way we are playing or our financial plight but i just cant be bothered with it all..
3.) 27 Jan 2024 20:46:39
Sad state of affairs mate but it's not just us a lot of fellas I know who are 50 and above are saying the same thing they just can't be bothered with these overpaid under performing pansies this modern game is so far from the working man's game its heartbreaking its going to implode soon enough.
{Ed025's Note - sooner the better mate..
4.) 28 Jan 2024 23:06:20
42 now and feel the same. Fed up with the premier league. Last couple of years I've morphed into an avid football fan. Games I've attended this season. Harrogate salford. Followed by Bochum schalke leverkusen and just come home from watching kaa gent and standard liege.
23 Dec 2023 10:59:19
Question. If a Super League was formed who would decide on who gets in?
Would it be done on size of club?
Position in league?
Ground?
Your thoughts.
{Ed025's Note - it will be the richest clubs who get invited Woburn i expect, and those with the biggest brown evelopes..
1.) 23 Dec 2023 11:24:28
Indeed Ed, money talks, nothing else. Greed will win the day.
{Ed025's Note - and thats the problem with football right there Swinners, it used to be the game of the people but now its a breeding ground for the mega rich and is awash with corruption mate, maybe if they all sod off to the super league it would be better for the proper clubs and we can regain the identity and integrity back..
2.) 23 Dec 2023 12:25:21
To be honest ed with what goes on with supporters from abroad, I don’t know if I would want them coming anywhere near our new ground mate.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely mate..
10 Dec 2023 16:17:49
Defence rock solid again. Patterson solid, Micky so improved, and Tarks and Branthwaite. Well if the England manager was really watching then there's a solid two right there.
Well done lads deserve all the plaudits and a higher position in the league.
1.) 10 Dec 2023 16:23:41
3 clean sheets in a row yeah totally agree with you're post mate surly braithwaite deserves an england call up but buzzing with that result UTFT.
2.) 10 Dec 2023 16:26:09
This is the best defence and best team we have had in such a long time. Sean got the tactics and balance right, everyone knows their job. Myko was so good today, got to be one of his best defensive performances for us.
Buzzing for Dobbin as well.
I'm enjoying football again.
Hopefully Godfrey or more likely Keane can step up against Burnley and we can make it 4 in a row.
3.) 10 Dec 2023 16:34:39
Have players in their correct positions and you see the results.
06 Dec 2023 21:37:12
Well results have pretty much gone our way again today. Think that even a point tomorrow would be a plus, though obviously three would be nice.
1.) 06 Dec 2023 21:45:18
Would love 3 points Woburn as I fear we might get very little from the games between now and New Year’s day.
2.) 06 Dec 2023 22:19:08
Agree BR, but our home form hasn’t exactly filled me with confidence mate.
3.) 07 Dec 2023 09:55:13
Expecting a big performance tonight. Toon will have to buckle in some games, their squad is thin and the first 11 have played a lot of games. I’m going for 3-1.
4.) 07 Dec 2023 12:44:00
Don't think we've been particularly bad at home, Woburn, our problem has been finishing our chances at Goodison. Fingers crossed that we rectify that tonight!
5.) 07 Dec 2023 16:05:33
Newcastle have won there last two games but lost to Bournemouth away before that so they are there for the taking COYBs.
6.) 07 Dec 2023 21:50:11
Well how happy am I to be proved wrong. Great win tonight.
14 Jan 2024 17:34:35
Danjuma isn’t the answer, Spurs already figured that out.
19 Dec 2023 13:22:10
Good luck to him if he does.
12 Dec 2023 21:46:22
Just the Daily Fail having another pop at us. A paper that has more adverts per page than actual news stories.
07 Dec 2023 21:52:33
Well they both played Ed just not at the same time. So pleased for Beto, went straight for goal and took it well.
07 Dec 2023 21:51:02
Would take a swap.
19 Feb 2024 22:40:07
Is Young Dyche’s Rondon?
19 Feb 2024 22:38:54
Can we take the motto off our badge please. It’s embarrassing now.
18 Jan 2024 16:33:30
Don’t really want to get into what makes a big club small club debate.
All I would say is ask yourself how many football clubs do you know that have struggled for as many years as this club, yet still get home crowds of over 35,000 +, and always sell out their away allocation.
{Ed025's Note - thats why i would say we are a big club Woburn..
31 Dec 2023 21:54:08
Thank you.
24 Dec 2023 00:45:11
Poor first 20 really good after that.
