Yeah I just finished reading through the 60 page decision (a real page turner…). Can’t decide where it leaves us.

I think repeated references to “sailing close to the wind” can’t be helpful for our case, but the subsequent sales of Johnson and Mangala may be used as ammo in your break-even argument.

I would imagine they will be unwilling to accept Johnson as similar mitigation to that which Sheff Wed had, but may accept it as an example of prudent business.

I think we have more in our favour than Everton based on the findings, as we didn’t provide misleading info, we have subsequent sales with a view to long term financial health, we had a lower PSR target, we can argue against competitive advantages etc. All relies on what they are willing to accept as mitigation, if anything

After 60 pages I conclude they don't think mitigation matters in the grand scheme of things.

They acknowledge Everton's mitigations but don't give them much weight as they're not exceptional.

And perhaps that's what they will conclude in our case too.

You deserve some sort of award for reading though a 60 page decision pal- but thanks for the summary/opinion based on your findings 👍🏻

Indeed . They contradict themselves in the report.
They welcome the dialogue and criticise Everton for being evasive at the beginning and thank them for becoming more cooperative but say in the end it doesn't matter.

It's not a contradiction.

They say the bar that should be met is cooperation with any regulator.

So coming from an uncooperative position to the expected position of cooperation they should not expect any extra leniency.

I'm seeing loads of Everton fans on Twitter replying to ours fans saying our breaches are way worse, over £100m losses etc. Where the f*** are they plucking that from? Some have replied "in the reports" with no further info then that... What f***ing reports?!

They're in so much denial about their club.

At least most of us admit our club have f**ked up and that we deserve to be punished to a degree.

No anti-PL cards at the city ground is there? No accountability up in that city.

Reasons to be optimistic with the news at least. But can't afford to take our eye off the ball on the pitch regardless.

Some hope is better than none though.

On the assumption we are treated similarly - it will still be in our own hands.
No time left for mistakes - players or manager.
Niakhate at LB was a huge mistake which totally unbalanced the whole back line.

6pts minimum for any PSR breach apparently according to Evertons report today.

Here's hoping by April we're 10pts+ clear...

Johnno's sale didn't go through till virtually the last hour of the transfer window and he played games leading up to it too. That's cutting it fine to say the least, if he'd got injured or didn't get moved on, we'd be staring relegation in the face.

Not sure what communication the club had with the premier league in the process but I hope it was a 2 way thing we can rely on in the defence and not emails just letting them know our intentions.

I couldn’t decide whether the 6 point minimum was in reference to this particular case, rather than a baseline for any PSR infringement. Hoping the former.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've plucked it from that misleading article in the Post last week where the headline made it appear there was £120M excess
