Amazing how can Newcastle lose with a world class defender in the back line….never mind Smug Ed
Allan screaming "**** off" at Mike Dean, who had absolutely nothing to do with it, was brilliant, particularly as MD just blanked him.
Scenes. 10 man Everton leading 1 - 0
The quality of football wasn't great but that was great entertainment over all. Richarlison seems to have a worse relationship with gravity than Zaha does.

I know Dean gets a lot of stick but that's something I do really like about him. It was such a Dean (non) reaction and is just funny to watchAllan screaming "**** off" at Mike Dean, who had absolutely nothing to do with it, was brilliant, particularly as MD just blanked him.
At least that result keeps us in 13th for now....and puts more pressure on mighty Leeds.
£183m annual payroll costs on £193m of turnover .
No wonder they’re a magnet to shite mercanaries.
Not caused by the pandemic btw, they were losing well over £100m a year beforehand.

Following that link was fascinating! Everton really are a financial basket case. They say they are OK from an FFP perspective, as they've lumped a whole load of stuff into the "Covid" pot (which theoretically gets ignored for FFP purposes). But Everton's definition of Covid-related costs is tenuous, to say the least. They've managed to write down player values and make provisions for certain player contracts, and ascribed these costs (in excess of £50m) to Covid. Unfortunately the Premier League seems not to care about FFP, so Everton will probably get away with it. But if - say - Burnley go down and Everton stay up, I can see an interesting legal dispute arising....
[MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] would know the full lowdown.
My layman’s take is that the EPL’s mandated financial rules (every club signs up) are called Financial Fair Play.
Everton and Villa were both making colossal losses prior to the pandemic.
I’m guessing they would’ve fallen foul, but the EPL I think effectively shelved the whole thing once the pandemic hit. Villa used that to go on a huge spending spree, I’ve seen the figure of £320m in transfer fees alone mentioned.
Isn’t it lovely though when Karma strikes. Everton are shite and Villa are nothing special.
With regards to UEFA and FFP, shirley Everton wouldn’t be allowed entry into the EL should they make it one season with these losses and owner (really Putin’s mate Usmanov’s) subsidies?
Everton are claiming total Covid costs of about £160-170m, saying that the pandemic had a significant impact on their ability to sell players for large sums as the market was deflated. If they honestly think that getting £50-60m for the likes of Tosun and Sigurdsson in a non-Covid transfer market was feasible is their opinion, but perhaps there are other reasons why those players have not sold for large sums?

Thanks.
Their track record of getting value for highly overpaid lemons was almost non existent.
I loath the creative thinking (dishonesty) of Chansiri, Mel Morris and now Usmanov trading as Moshiri.
These are not victimless strategies. Rival clubs playing by the rules lose games and sometimes a division.
Every club will play the system to their advantage, however, Everton have shown (fingers crossed) that you can play the system and still fail.
Especially Sigurdsson………
Will they be challenged do you think?
