Its a good opportunity to keep putting our fans mind at ease with FACTS, throughout this process.
A lot of noise has been made, by low level journalists on Twitter and via a couple of rags that other clubs ie Burnley, Leeds and Sheff Utd are planning to “sue” us on the back of the Premier League’s point deduction.
This is crystal clear bu****it. Quite simply, the 4 accusations made by the prem in no way have benefited Everton on the field.
Charge 1: Sigurdsson’s fee/wage bill caused an overspend
Answer: Sigurdsson didn’t fulfill more than half of his contract and was banned by the Prem prior to any court ruling over him, thus leaving Everton out of pocket, short of a key player and with NO GAIN ON THE PITCH.
Charge 2: Everton where advised to sell one of their key playing assets in the next available transfer window in order to keep meeting the premier leagues financial special measure placed upon Everton.
Answer: Everton DID NOT BENEFIT ON THE PITCH as neither club nor player wanted to make the transfer. Everton received a cut price fee from Tottenham who where aware of our plight and need to do as we were told. Leaving Everton with NO GAIN ON THE PITCH.
The other 2 charges where related to finances surrounding the Stadium and as such has no relevance and therefore leaves Everton with NO GAIN ON THE PITCH.
They can’t sue us for something we haven’t been charged with by the Premier League, who themselves admitted we gained no advantage from any of their charges. Finally, every Prem club signs a contract which states they cant enter lawsuits against another team ib the league. It’s utter bu****it. Don’t believe it.
