So: a further utterly NONSENSICAL aspect of the ruling against Everton by the independent commission is that they openly admit to relying heavily on evidence from David Baldwin to establish the link between £19.5m overspend and the 4 points extra Everton gained ahead of Burnley.

1. David Baldwin, and by the IC's OWN ADMISSION, had spent 6 years being associated with Burnley.

2. His testimony was treated as that of an 'expert' despite him admitting he was using his "lived experience". Seriously?

3. The gist of Baldwin's argument was that Everton's £19.5m overspend - which was cumulative over 3 years - could you be used entirely to support the extra 4 points Everton gained over and above Burnley in the one season, 21/22. This was without him using any mathematical, statistical or probabilistic modelling - just 'lived experience'

4. Remember, we already established that the IC thinks a PSR breach can occur at anytime, 365 days a year, during a 3 year cycle - and not at the point they are actually tested. This is 'dangerous & unworkable' as Everton put it in their statement & also highly likely why they were so angry. There is no way the rules were drafted to intend this. It also means if you were already in breach of PSR but sold hotels or your women's team to cure it, you are still in breach. Clearly a nonsense, because in several instances these "cures" have been allowed - *as long as it was done by the financial year end, when PSR was being tested*. This is a key pillar of Everton's defence - Burnley were relegated before Everton's year-end and so a PSR breach had not yet occured.

5. Baldwin's testimony is used to rebuff that; he infers that sporting advantage was gained already at the start of the season because Everton did not reduce their squad/sell players/adjust their PSR position. Not true. Everton submitted an initial PSR position showing compliance - they did not set out to breach.

Everton building a new stadium made Burnley get 1 point from their last 4 games then.

This case has huge implications for Clubs who feel they were disadvantaged by Chelsea's breach of the Premier League rules, and, IF found guilty, Clubs who may have lost out to Manchester City for trophies and Champions League places. Any sports lawyers thinking of going on holiday may have to postpone them.

Everton punished again while Man City who have had 115 charges hanging over them for years now are trying to buy Elliot Anderson for 130 million

Sound 👍🏻

[Watched Toffee @WatchedToffee]

Just wondering when the Premier League are making a decision on Manchester City.

They've made three quick ones about Everton, and we've appealed in that time too.

Corrupt to the core.

Fucking NHS. I woke up this morning with some trouble in my eye. Called the optician. Had tests. Sent straight to hospital with a torn retina.

They insisted on giving me laser surgery there and then to fix it. Didn't want any money for the job. Now I'm home again.

How inconsiderate. Joking aside. Remember there are people out there who want to dismantle the NHS.

Liverpool sacking Slot immediately for finishing 5th with UCL football whilst we finish 13th and play dreadful footy with no squad rotation or youth development but they won't sack Moyes because they don't want to upset him or a few players hahahaha standards are on the floor 💩

[Fran @frannyporter]

That's the difference between us and them. They finish fifth and it's not good enough so they sack the manager, we finish 13th and the managers giving interviews about how Alex Ferguson bullied him into submission. We're a pathetic excuse of a football club. Stability FC eh lads?

Everton 25/26

More VAR mistakes (3) on pens than pens (2)

Only club in 7 years of VAR not to benefit from an overturn

No opposition player booked for a foul in the last 7 games (60 fouls)

Also, just 7 pens in 3 seasons (same as Leeds who spent 2 of those in the Cship)

[ToffeeTransfers @TransfersToffee]

In other words, we were not just being paranoid, there really is an attempt by the authorities to punish Everton consistently! Joke 💙

[CAMELPHAT @CamelPhat]

A manager in his twilight, a centre half offering more up top than any “centre forward”, our better players on the missing list since Europe got mentioned, can see another season done by Xmas without massive changes!

This concert was unbelievable. He starts the whole show by walking on stage alone with a little cassette-playing boom box, hits "play", and the show never stops for two hours.
