 Welcome to the Everton News Daily. As the impact of Everton's ten-point deduction continues to be felt, lots of stories every single day. Simon Jordan has weighed in today on the club's seeking compensation debate, the sensationalist headlines that clubs have signed as Sue Everton for £300 million. Simon Jordan has said that those clubs are simply wasting their time in this pursuit. Jordan explained that it is difficult to see where Everton gained a sport advantage over these clubs. It's difficult to prove there was any kind of advantage there relating to those other clubs. He said that at what season do you decide that that advantage was gained given that clubs have been relegated, number of clubs have been relegated during that process and across the actual auditing period Everton was nowhere near a relegation battling two of the season so therefore Everton could argue that the £19.5 million losses have appeared in one of those seasons where certainly the season where Everton got 59 points. In that report, yep, and therefore we're nowhere near relegation. So you can understand how this argument can be battered away. I get you would as a fan of one of those clubs you might feel a little bit aggrieved but it has to be stated clearly many different occasions that this is to do with the stadium, the building of a new stadium. There's a lot of these charges, a lot of this financial information there is simply regarding someone's opinion of whether that should have been used on up or a lot of it does directly correlate to the stadium. Even if you split that £19.5 million over, let's do it over three even though it was a four year reporting period, let's do it over three years, that £6.5 million a season that Everton would have been over, is that £6.5 million really causing one of those sides to get relegated? I can't say it like that. Jordan goes on to say that even if in the unlikely event there was any chance of compensation and he only names two clubs you could potentially do it, he said it's highly unlikely he would get anything. It would be a small amount, he said, I'd be amazed if it was in the millions. I saw this the other day where one of a lawyer was talking about it just generally out briefing it about the compensation and he was like the most leads could probably get us around £2 million because it was only a place, a better place even if Everton had the ten points taken off them. The problem is with the Premier League, it's not with Everton in terms of when the sanctions were put in, so it's not Everton's fault if they have been deductive points that the points were in put in last season. You can't retrospectively go back and put them in, it's not in the rules that every one of the Premier League teams have signed up to these rules. You can't then say after the event because I've seen that argument the other day with people. Well, you've agreed to these profit and sustainability rules so therefore there's got to be some punishment. Fine, then those teams who are playing in the Premier League have signed up to the thing of you can't pick and choose when you want those points taken off to help your cause. So like you said, I can understand some fans clinging on to that from rival clubs, but the reality is it's very, very difficult to prove at any point that that was a reason why you went down. You went team to relegator because you don't get as many points as anyone else. It's just the way it is. As it carries on, more information has now emerged about David Phillips, the KC, who was the chair of the commission that found Everton guilty. There's been a lot of stuff put out about him in the last few days, but it's now emerged that he sat on an FA panel who decided to find Everton a record £300,000 for a pitch invasion. After the Crystal Palace victory colour season to go, that kept Everton in the Premier League was May 2022, 18 months ago. This is obviously going to put the spotlight back on to the impartiality of this fella. We'll wait and see, but that is out there today. So that just goes on to, this case is literally changing every few hours. There's different circumstances being put out there by the analysts and other people. So it is a mess, it's a huge mess right now. We'll see what happens. Everton, of course, have got nine days to register their appeal. They are going to do it, obviously it's been discussed, but they've got to formally register their appeal. They did say on Friday that the appeal process had begun, so this will be Everton gathering evidence over the last few days. That will go in shortly. Everton's director of football, Kevin Thelwell, released a statement today saying that the blazing staff at Finch Farm are focused on the progression that they have made in recent times. Everyone six of the last nine matches were in good form. The unity is there. Kevin Thelwell talked about the backing of the supporters. He knows that every Evertonian is behind them. We'll continue to draw on that strength from them and keep moving forward. He did go on to say that he backed Everton's interim CEO Colin Sion's statement the other day about the wholly unjust and disproportionate point deduction on the sport in front to Everton. He backed that statement by Colin Sion. Everton have just simply shown that they are in the plays. I've just got to keep doing what they were doing before this news came out. They were in really good form, looking up, and that's what they've got to focus on as we move forward. Sheffield United Manager Paul Heckambottom spoke today. They praised Everton on the pitch and said that the progression is there for all to see. He said they should have a lot more points than what they've got at the moment. He said, but even with the points deduction, he backs them to climb out of trouble anyway. He said they just hope we finish above them. But he also did say that basically this can't be the only time that this has applied. This will only become a justifiable punishment if it is applied to other clubs. He said a lot of other clubs will be looking over the shoulders now. Everton will obviously be watching home with interest to see whether this is applied to other clubs as well. That was from him. Last night England under 21s beat Northern Ireland at Gullison Park 3-0. The under 21s side was captained by Everton's Jared Brantwick. The only thing from an Everton perspective is Liverpool plays that scored the goals. There you go. But a good win for Lee Carsley's under 21s side last night.
