A very proud day for all of us today. Nuala has got to ring the bell at @AlderHey now she is officially clear of cancer! She has been through so much in such a short space of time as have all of our family who have been there to support us.
Please remember to help us raise funds
@neillafferty When we went years ago to nuremberg it was cheaper and easier to fly direct liverpool to frankfurt and get the train over there. Their trains are cheap and really good unlike ours
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.
@Tony_Scott11@merseyrail Only 4 car trains too. I understand it must be more difficult to staff on a bank holiday late in the evening but its not like they don't have time to prepare. Utter disgrace that was last night
@Paul03391@GiuliaBould I don't know, we may have a more diverse fanbase these days the same as most PL clubs due to it being broadcast everywhere. We retained the same ST holders and increased that by a small amount in the move with people from a waiting list. I think most of the fans are still local
@GaryBri99293774@Paul03391@GiuliaBould I think my ticket has near doubled in price, I'm happy with the price it currently is but it is probably towards my upper limit for what I want to be paying
@colingeorgerice Do you not recall the last government and how they have asset stripped for their own personal gain. They have now all defected and created a new party to try and get back into power and continue the same trend of lining their own pockets. All of our political system needs binning
If you are not familiar with our story please read about her, we were very fortunate to have discovered the cancer early through Megan's diligence and perseverance. If you suspect something may be wrong get it checked out and keep asking the questions until you are satisfied.
Yesterday was #WorldCancerDay everyone probably knows Nualas story by now but it hasn't stopped we still have regular visits to the hospital for oncology check ups. Fortunately for us our latest MRI scans in January marked 2 years of being cancer free for Nuala.
@LeeFMc83 I can only assume its an attitude thing, I think he has shown decent ability in his time. But to be ignored now by 4 or 5 different managers says something is not right.
@bushontheradio My family often laugh about this as my dad is still to this day called Neil the Gas or simply "Gas" by everyone (gas engineer not flatulence) he had a group of mates all with names similar. My favourite was the gardener Paul the Grass whose son was known as seed 👌🏼
