@SteWilliams14 @Everton Thought it was just me. Bloody typical.

@MichaelRHowie @rideox4 @Rideuberfans @ridearchives @RideTheNetwork Really sorry. Sold them back through the organiser, Dice, in the end. Sorry too for the slow response.

Really interesting post on the Everton subreddit from someone who works within sports finance 👇

I agree with those who think we should eat a points deduction & try & keep JB.

It would be premature to sell JB with new owners on the horizon & a softening of PSR possible because of City's actions & other clubs facing penalties too. Everton should wait to see how things pan out. Forest & Leicester will likely be in the same boat.

(We might not be able to sell Onana in June because he is in the Belgium squad - seems like some kind of rule?)

Whilst DCL is really important, if he isn't going to sign a new contract, then we have no choice but to sell him. A sale by June 30th for £25m would produce a reasonable trading profit.

Don't forget the profits on player sales we locked in August 2023: Iwobi (I estimate £16m PSR profit), Gray (£7m), Simms (£3m), Samuels (£5m), Cannon (£6m) = £37m

So, back of the envelope PSR calc:

T/O = £180m (higher league placing)
*Less*
Wages = £151m (lower after 2023 exits)
Opex = £37m
Interest = £23m (not related to stadium)
Player Amorts = £75m
*Add*
Profit on player trading before June 2024 sales = £37m

Total Loss 2023/2024 = -£69m

Prior 3 years PSR Losses:

T= £69m
T-1 £62.8m
T-2 = £3.9m* (*subject to interest revision)

=£135.7m. As is, this is a 3pt deduction plus 4-5 pts for a significant breach (remember, has to be below a 9pt deduction for administration). Starting point a 7-8pt deduction.

Then add back 1pt for admission upfront & 1-2pts for T-2 and T-1 having already been punished (and making up 49% of the loss) and you are looking at a net 4-5 pt deduction, I think, before June sales.

Possible Sale of DCL by June 30th = £25m (profit £25m) brings total loss down to £110m, which would be a 3pt deduction. But deduction maybe as low as 1 POINT for early co-operation & more than 50% of the loss being from T-1 and T-2 which were already punished.

This analysis is extrapolated from the IC decision on our 2pt deduction.

If it does pan out this way, Everton will have been hit with a THIRD PSR charge in TWO YEARS, whilst building a stadium.

City = nil and Chelsea seem to be getting away with any charges by exploiting a loop hole.

No independent regulator on the horizon, so I hope Burnham & 17 Labour MPs can take time out of election campaigns to once again lend their support. We need them.

Through at last - the $60bn US Ukraine package held up in Congress since last October has finally passed. Great sigh of relief in Kyiv 👇🏻

[James Guy @Jimbob95goon]

Wow. Ban them all and never compete again.

[Mark Pickering @mp14mp]

@MarkUrban01 Irreplaceable, but I look forward to more of your brilliant books as a consequence.

Never kept wicket for South Africa either… 😎

@vinerbrian We have to accept where we are, we have to grow from a low base, we have to accept that it will take a decade or more to crash the top 6, but we have to remember we are Everton, we will never be a championship side, at worst we are perennial survivors, we are Everton. #UTFT #EFC

@Motocross_104 @PrestonPysh You’re right. Would love to switch my $MSTR into a purer $BTC proxy within an ISA.
