 Welcome to Toffee TV. I just thought I'd jump on with some news obviously that is broken in the last hour ever and have been referred to an independent Commission by the Premier League over alleged breaches of FFP rules. This is obviously from last season and the alleged breacher care during the 2021-2022 season and follows an official complaint by Premier League rules. Premier League rules dictate that clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of 105 million over three years. Now obviously this all comes down to the situation over the losses I believe around Covid and how much money we've lost. Yeah, the Premier League statement says in accordance with Premier League rule W dot 82 dot 1. The Premier League confirms that it's a referred alleged breach of League League's profitability and Sustainable Realty rules by Everton Football Clubs. So, a commission on the Premier League rule W dot 3 dot 4. The assessment period of which is alleged that the club is in breach of is in breach in the period in ending 2021-22. Commissions are independent. The Premier League member clubs, the members of the Commission will be appointed by the final in accordance with Premier League rules W dot 19 W dot 20 W dot 26. The proceedings before the commission will in accordance with the Premier League W dot 82 be confident in health and private. Under Premier League rules W dot 82 dot 2 lot of rules lot of dots. The commission is final award will be published on the Premier League website. The League will be making no further comment until that time. Everton is going to hear of the Premier League decision to refer an allegation of a breach of profit and sustainability regulations to an independent commission for review. The club strongly contest the allegation of non-compliance and together with its independence team with experts and silent confidence that it remains complicit with all financial rules and regulations. Everton is prepared to robustly defend its position to the commission. The club has over several years provided and has consistently chosen to act with utmost good faith at all times. The club will not be making any further comments at this time. So you're going to get I imagine you're going to get a lot of people really stressing over this certainly I mean the first thing this brings to mind is going to be points of deduction isn't it? A lot of people are going to be thinking about points of deduction. The offence is the same I believe as Manchester City's and again with Manchester City a lot of people are going to jump to the conclusion of losing points and therefore they would lose titles. We'll have to wait and see won't we? This will be cleared up a lot faster than the Manchester City one because the Manchester City one will go to call because they can fight it they can keep it wrapped up in call for years if they want to. This one for Everton is over last season and if they've been doing the investigation over that period since then they'll have obviously done the investigation it'll be 11 months of investigation we'll haven't get a points deduction. Well I imagine a fine or some kind of transfer embargo would be more likely than a fine. A fine is a huge step for a first offence and also sets a precedent that if anyone else does it they'd have to be fine therefore Manchester City would have a points deduction Manchester City then would probably lose titles 10 years of Manchester city and then winning titles and all that footage and all the agüero stuff that all goes away for the Premier League so this is a very serious thing but let's get this right this is very serious in terms of how our football club is run let's forget about blaming the Premier League let's forget about saying look what city don't look what Chelsea don't look what everyone else don't. Let's look at our own football club before before anything happens here we should be looking at our football club and saying how has it got to this stage how are we in a position where we are being instigated by the Premier League and don't forget this is a season where we barely spend any money by the way this is a season where we barely spend any money and had to sell the Charleston at the end of it right so for me forget about poking the Premier League on you're a disgrace for me this is all about the people who run the Everton Football Club and yet they've put a statement without saying that they feel ticked on this one this that was a season where we spent hardly any money and still had to sell the Charleston at the end of the season you know we sold Lucadine and brought two full backs in we brought players in at the beginning of the season for 1.5 million this this comes down on the board and I think for me more people need to be looking at that than anything else we haven't had the account yet so where do the accounts we're getting done for FFP we're at the board the hiding we didn't buy anyone in January after selling after selling Anthony Gordon for me I'm not pointing fingers in anyone else but Everton Football Club did they use Covid and the situation with Covid to hide losses they are saying no at the moment the Premier League this will go to an independent you know it will go to an independent court where they will they will take their evidence and the Premier League will try and still try and prove yes or no but Everton obviously saying no but these people need to resign and get away from our club and again you look at people on them I would not want to be anywhere near this I would not want to be anywhere near me and this kind of stuff isn't going to be on Grame Sharp is it that was something like Grame Sharp I don't want my name anywhere near this anywhere near this and honestly they won't though they'll get together and they'll make it they won't say anything as they've said they won't say anything on the matter as they've said but you know they've been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League where they could be charged of course I'll stop using the word charged where they could be charged and it's listen if it was nothing we wouldn't be getting referred to an independent if there was no evidence if they didn't think there was any evidence then why why would be getting referred and listen again I can see it in the comments so my corruption why is it corruption this company this football club is the joke forget about the Premier League this football club is the joke we're the ones who who don't spend any money we're the ones who the board have gone missing we're the ones who don't hold AGMs and are terrified of our own fan base this is on them this is 100% on them and there needs to be there needs to be resignations over this there won't be any resignations over this because they'll say they'll say they they haven't done anything wrong and maybe you know the the whole Covid situation may may allow that but the losses I mean we haven't seen have we we haven't seen this she is this she is this she's booked you they've gone in but we haven't seen them but they're obviously going to be really bad they'll have been they'll have been expecting this they'll have been expecting this news today um so listen I'm not really particularly worried I think I don't think we'll get I don't think we'll get a points a points ban a really a points deduction sorry I don't think we'll get a points deduction um I don't see that I see a fine or I see a transfer embargo I think a points deduction it would have to be for would have to be for a huge deception it would have to be for a huge deception and I don't see this as a deception as such I see this as incompetence I just see people not being able to do their job but it does again it will be interesting what comes out of it all we don't listen I can't sit here and and make it the allegations up that we might think I mean there's there's a lot of things as football as evident fans that we could possibly look at um that have happened in the last 12 months but we won't know will we we will not know till till the commission is held and it all comes out and we find out what the report is maybe when that happens we'll find out a little bit more about our war football club is actually run maybe if anything comes out of this it is that we'll actually find out how our football is run and who's been running it who knows we'll have to wait and see um but it is it is it is a big step and obviously it's back in the last season when the complaints went in I know a lot of people were really worried that over that summer you know the the plug could be pulled um at any moment but obviously it it wasn't um but as I said these are the same charges as Manchester City got so are they going to Manchester City's is over four year period in terms of um in terms of the rules they broke are they going to deduct points from Manchester City I I don't see it personally I don't see them deduct them points from Manchester City because the the repercussions of that are huge are absolutely huge as I said earlier about think about Premier League's going to um different clubs about those moments they would lose um a point a point deduction is a huge thing by the way it is like it's not just a little thing you don't you don't really see point deductions happen very much in English football the happening Italian football of course um but that would be but let's get it right the transfer ban would be huge as well if we were banned from from signing players that would also be huge um so you know not be able to buy any plays in the summer and improve us would would mean new contracts for some of the plays we've already got if they wanted if we wanted to do that um we we you know financially we wouldn't really be able to sell anyone I wouldn't imagine or if we had to sell anyone that would leave our squad obviously a lot weaker than it is now and it's not in great shape now so it's um yeah well after waiting see there's no obviously there's no time scale on this we don't know when this will be sorted out will it be sorted out before the end of the season I mean the quicker it was sorted out the better because then we'd know where we were um we've heard you know and the strange thing is we've we've heard different things over the season of we're working with the Premier League where even just before the even before um even before Christmas when we were told we're not really on the naughty step anymore we can go out and get people in um I've just seen a tweet from Martin Ziegler the journalist and he says the Premier League charge against Everton for beaching profits and sustainable rules is potentially serious only the second time after the Manchester City that charges have been brought sanction could include point deduction important test case for the Premier League Everton lost 371 million over three years before last season but escaped action due to Covid other clubs will be watching so there you go a test case people are saying of themselves if this one gets done before Manchester City gets done and this is where it becomes interesting Manchester City will obviously um be looking at this and their lawyers will be looking at this thing and how do we how do we look at ours and if they know if we get a point deduction then they're going to have to work extra hard but if we don't get a point deduction then we'll be the basis so it is a test case and that's the horrible thing we've suddenly become um we've suddenly become it's a huge moment it could be a huge moment for the Premier League because a lot of people have said well um you've got a fact you've got to take point of Manchester City and etc etc because it's huge if Manchester City get away with what they've done it's open season and that's what's that's the worrying part of this I suppose is that it would be open season maybe if we were to get away with this and Manchester City would get away with this people would just say FFP rules profit and sustainability have no place in the Premier League because if they got away with it um if they make an example of us then they have to make an example of Manchester City and this is where I think that middle ground of a transfer embargo could come in potentially transfer embargo for Manchester City wouldn't be wouldn't be as bad because of the amount of players they've got but the one for us could be catastrophic um it is it is it is it's not what you want on a Friday when you thought you had no evidence for the weekend it's not what you want it would be nice if we knew when this is going to get played out um but we'll see we'll see and as I said they will be a lot of people will be looking at this looking at this situation but Evan listen Evan said that it's fine Evan said that they've got the evidence Evan said that they've worked with their accountants and they've worked with the Premier League so the other side of this is we obviously we've not been charged it is an independent commission and we've not been found guilty of beating any rules here so let's let's just keep that in in perspective at the moment but we'll see what happens we'll see what happens it's um we'll see what happens as we go forward but again worry worry in times worry in times for the football club fans and again as I said um as I said we were waiting we were waiting to find out what what happens going forward um and whether um what's that yeah it's just it's just so annoying as I said that on a Friday afternoon and there is no football and people might be looking to enjoy um the weekend or looking into enjoy the game tonight the everton ladies game that's something like this comes up but um I think what will what will happen is we will hear we will hear a lot of a lot of waffle in there um in the next few days so we'll we'll ever get the books out now uh make them public we'll have to wait and see but it's gonna it's gonna be interesting going forward anyway um so yeah so there you go um yeah let me know your let me know your thoughts let me know your thoughts on the whole situation uh as it as it develops there you go thanks for watching and we'll see you later
