So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..
PUNISHMENT: £10m fine
——
Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.
PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”
——
One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?
The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.
“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.
Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?
Instead of sacking him now and getting Iraola, we'll let Moyes sign a bunch of 30 year old prem has-beens in the summer, sack him in October and scramble around to find a replacement
9yrs ago Pickford left Sunderland for Everton
He has played 1 season in Europe in that, first year he joined
Since then Sunderland have
Relegated to the C’Ship
Relegated to League one
Stayed in L1 for a bit
Promoted to C’Ship
Promoted to the PL
And themselves got Europe
Losers
Remember when he left first time and it was “wonder what Moyes would be like if we had money?”
This. Exactly this.
120ish million he’s had so far and what do we have to show for it? 13th and worse.
Fuck him off.
So we've conceded more goals than last season, barely scoring more than last season, only have one more point than last season, have more losses than last season, out of all cups immediately, and that's not even touching the underlying numbers you all hate. Stability?
Will always love Everton. Will always be hugely grateful for Moyes' contributions over his two spells as manager. But in every respect this has been utter garbage
Huge rebuilding task ahead this summer. Manager, squad, culture
its ok lads its ok, we were in a fuckin unbelievably strong position to get europe and then got 3 losses and 3 draws from our next 6 games and completely fuckin THREW IT AWAY but ITS OKAY cos we were in a relegation battle 3 fuckin years ago
No idea how Everton went from that Chelsea win to no wins in two months and numerous poor performances like this. You absolutely have to question the manager.
Same system constantly, regardless of who we play, predictable but stable. Performances have been like that all year but masked by points on the board. Horrific way for Seamus Coleman to bow out too. Shocking.
An absolutely disgraceful, disgusting, abhorrent performance, same back 4 that have gifted teams goals week in week out. Picked by the manager constantly, Europe up in smoke and got ourselves to blame. I’m happily dissatisfied to Angus Kinnear. Shambles.
