Ffs let clubs do what they want and go bust if they fuck up.

Are we signing Mbappe or not?

My take on this new financial nonsense is that we wouldn’t have floated it and voted for it if it wasn’t going to help us bridge the gap

That is funny given how utterly shit Chelsea have been.

[ewerk 26793]

This is the shit we’re up against regarding PSR. Fanks Mike.

This lot are fucking desperate to get relegated.

 

Their fans need to let some miidnight fireworks off outside Companies House.

Loans from 777 are the only thing that is keeping the club afloat. They can't make their commitments without these loans landing every month. 

 

If they suddenly dry up cos 777 is in difficulty of its own, then they're in major shit. 

 

I don't understand how they've been allowed to continue to be run like this by the PL. They can't meet their operating costs without a monthly bailout from this third party, who has only continued to lend them cash cos it had designs on buying them. 

 

For an organisation that likes to talk about sustainability, this is the definition of unsustainable.

You make some good points here, but I’m curious- should we deduct or add said points? 

[Gemmill 35460]

Any points I make are always additive.

you definitely helped everton add a few more points every season 

[Gemmill 35460]

It's the 30th of the month BTW. I wonder if they've been able to make their payroll cos that's what the loans from 777 were allowing. 

 

I think a failure to pay people is a fairly significant breach, it certainly is in the EFL.

Moshiri is a billionaire. Is he just refusing to put any more of this own money into the club? If so then that really is tremendous work by the Everton fans.

Yeah he's long since stopped giving them operating cash, so 777 are keeping them afloat pending PL approval of a deal, and the longer that process has gone on, the more dodgy 777 have appeared. 

 

I can't see the deal being allowed to go through now with all the other bother 777 is in, so fuck knows what happens.

If you were to make a prediction, what would it be ?

that's a reasonable view. i'd counter that with Everton being an example of a turkey that voted for Christmas

The spending cap has been voted in. man city, man utd and villa all voted against it and chelsea abstained. Fuck know what it all means but there's going to be a spending cap now.

pretty sure it hasn't been voted in yet. they've voted to produce spending cap models. if the models are ready then they may get voted in at the June AGM. the shape of the model could change dramatically in that time. 

 

i get the feeling that in the longer term this will be an own goal by the PL. As it may mean fewer superstars are likely to come to the PL. it might also lead to the gap between english teams and overseas teams moving in the wrong direction.

 

i'd feel better lobbying UEFA for this to be a european wide rule. PSG being linked to Claremont would be funny as! as would Real Madrid being anchored by Almeria.

 

one thing is for sure. once the spending cap is introduced it will be here to stay. and likely as not it will be tightened not relaxed.

 

really unsure of the need for any of this. just the americans trying to get american style rules.

 

[LondonBlue 567]

i reckon being fined by the size of the breach would be adequate enough for psr.
