#Everton worked with the PL to ensure all dealings were FFP compliant when it was clear they were close to breach. Everything was done with PL scrutiny. That same organisation have now approved head spinning disproportionate penalty arguably as political tool to avoid regulation
Mitigations rejected:
- Loss of money on Gylfi situation
- Inability to sell players during an unprecedented global pandemic
- Loss of major sponsor and increased stadium material cost from international conflict
Reasons given to reject these? "Lol shit happens".
My unpopular footballing opinion is that Gareth Southgate gets far too much hate as England manager 🏴
I think we take our success for granted
I remember the 08 Euros - we didn’t even qualify!
England have qualified for 26 major tournaments
We’ve reached the semis 6 times
2 of those were under Southgate
We’ve reached 2 finals
1 was under Southgate
His worst finish at 3 attempts was the Quarter Finals
He doesn’t get everything right. I don’t agree with his decision over Jordan Henderson
But who would you rather have in charge? And bare in mind - international football is very, very different
It’ll be unpopular I know 😅🤷♂️
