 Welcome to Toffee TV. It is the Everton News Daily and obviously there's only one story to start with today. Everton have been referred to a independent commission for a second time by the Premier League for a breach of P&L rules. Basically the same charge that Everton have already been punished with this season and obviously we are waiting on an appeal for that. It will be heard this season so any kind of punishment will be dished out this season. It's not set to happen till Everton's appeal has been heard for the first charge. Obviously Everton have been punished by a deduction of 10 points for that. That's set to go ahead in late February and that could change the outcome of this completely. If Everton are found to have not broken the rules in that appeal then this one should go away as well. It's because two of the three years in this one are from that one as well because it runs on a three year rolling cycle so you take the third one away and you add the newest one. It is absolutely mad that Everton have been punished for what is 66% of the numbers in it already. So to be punished again seems absolutely crazy but there you go. The Premier League have said we've admitted it. It's not really true Everton have had to put numbers forward based on what has happened already. They're not necessarily Everton's numbers but going by what has happened or what the Premier League have said has happened they have to put those numbers forward and the Premier League simply put you to an independent commission for going over them and it's for them to judge whether you've done anything wrong but as we already know we have been punished 10 points for that. I'll just read out Everton's statements. Everton Football Club acknowledges the Premier League's decision to refer a breach of profit and sustainability rules for the assessment period with the 2022-23 season to an independent Premier League commission. This relates to a period which covers seasons 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23. It therefore includes the financial periods 19-20, 2021-22 for which the club has already received a 10-point sanction. The club is currently appealing that sanction. The Premier League does not have guidelines which prevents a club being sanctioned for alleged breaches in financial periods which have already been subject to punishments or unlike other governing bodies including the EFL. As a result and because of the Premier League's new commitment to a deal with such matters in season the club is in a position where it has no option but to submit a PSR calculation which remains subject to change pending the outcome of the appeal. The club must now defend the Premier League complaint which includes the very same financial period for which it's already been sanctioned before that appeal has ever been heard. The club takes the view that this results from a clear deficiency in the Premier League rules. Everton can assure its fans that it will continue to defend its position during the ongoing appeal and should it be required to do so at any future commission and that the impact on supporters will be reflected as a part of the process. So Everton obviously coming out swinging with that statement. It's an absolute mess it all has to be dealt with this season as well so the punishment happens this season. Lossam and Forrest have also been referred to the commission as well and basically if both clubs are punished and then appeal the appeal will not be heard till after the last game of the season so you could have the potential of five clubs after the last ball is kicked on the last game of the season not knowing who is safe and who has been relegated it is an absolute farcical situation that has been brought on by the Premier League and what makes it actually worse is the rules are changing in August. The rules are going to be more lenient and there's more factors that are going to come into play and really Everton would not be punished on the new rules that are set to be voted on and should come in in August and it just makes the whole thing an absolute nonsense it could see Everton being punished twice and it could see nothing for those punished ones and no one ever being punished again for for this financial crime so yeah yeah more headaches for Sean Baichmore sleepless nights for those Evertonians and let's just hope the appeal sort it all out in in February that's that's all we can hope for um yeah right let's let's actually move on to what matters which is the ball being kicked around the pitch and Sean Daich has been reflecting on yesterday's nil nil with Aston Villa his his thoughts on the goalless draw yeah um result wise first pleasing in the sense that you know it's been remarked upon this season but they're the sort of games maybe over the last couple seasons ever wouldn't get something from um I think the mentality is there I think the physicality of the side was good again today the will and desire to make sure we kept clean sheet against the team who scored goals we know that but I think they could have gone joint top today so that shows the season they're having obviously with the ball excuse me second half more so we never really got a grip with the game um although still had moments to try and you know find a find a goal and the first half we have a key moment you know if that goes in it might change the way the game feels but we didn't know or we wouldn't know yeah there you go obviously it was a it was a it was a tightly fought game wasn't the greatest um wasn't the greatest game in the world but ever getting back to taking a point um after losing the last three in the Premier League was good against a such a good opponent as well so defend as well and we got a point uh Shondesh also spoke about the retain of Abdelight Decore who's been out for nearly a month his thoughts on the player yeah I thought he did well he's you know come back in twice done excellently because he's he's had a near very serious injuries we've been very lucky literally trained yesterday morning that's it um and I checked that he was okay to try and get out there and he said yes um James of course mustn't forget fantastic serving years what he's given to the side you know playing there the record number of games and all that today you know big day for him and and deservedly so so I'm pleased for him that we got some kind of result because it would have been uh not an enjoyable moment for him um but he but he's deserved it there you go great to have Decore back didn't have a massive effect on the game obviously had a goal disallowed late on it was a great finish um but it's good to have him back because the the team simply doesn't tick without him in it so good to have him back Shondesh also spoke about the VAR decision that just seemed to take forever um certainly in the ground it was just absolute nonsense his his thoughts on Aston Villa's disallowed goal no because I did I couldn't live how long it took it's a foul on Danjuma don't worry about the offside he's coming off the post lad drags him to the floor it was a foul so I don't really I know we talk about well who's deciding what decision but the one that I talk about so the powers that be is you can make all these rules but the end of the day there should be an override button that says that's a foul end off so therefore don't even worry about the offside because it's a foul that way it cleans it up very quickly we all get on with it and no one's worried about it so that's all I'd ask today it was the right outcome uh thankfully because you never know but it was the right outcome but I just didn't think it needed to take that time I don't think a lot of these things need to take that time but it I think there is a bit of nervousness about it all there's a lot of noise about it all wiki getting asked about it we have to give an opinion of course I still believe in it but I just think things like today could have been done that quick there you go this is thought he he's obviously still a fan of VAR but the time it takes is just is just an absolute farce really it really is it really is um just in afcon news today a jisagana gait was an unused sub as senegal won 3-0 against gambia he has obviously had an injury which kept them out of the last couple of everton games before he went away uh he obviously picked that up at spares so um they're obviously using him uh sparingly he uh it was on the bench for a friendly game as well before the tournament started so good start for senegal and I'm sure he'll get more action as the tournament goes on there you go a yeah again another pretty big day for everton football club we've been reflecting on it in a live show a little bit early if you missed that catch up on that will also be live
