    Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?

    No council is buying a £500m stadium to put on a few gigs. If administrators come in I wouldn’t be surprised to see them sell the stadium though, and Everton the enter a leaseback arrangement. Would take a huge amount of debt off the books which may help in selling the club. Long term not the...

    That was the MSP deal. It was heavily backed by 2 super wealthy Everton fans and even they walked away. Apparently has helped Everton in agreeing extensions to their debt with MSP though, otherwise they’d already be finished.

    Problem is he plays a few games and gets injured. If he could stay fit - you’d have to start him surely.

    Can’t agree with that. Absolutely abject performance from most of the performance. a lot is on Ange - but players are looking so piss poor that they have to take the brunt of the blame.

    Son should be on the bench - he’s been a passenger in games for months. Does absolutely nothing.

    Most likely a sale and leaseback. Not uncommon at all - but, given amortisation of infrastructure etc isn’t included in PSR calcs, then it would make sense if profits on sale proceeds of said assets were also excluded. Surely the Premier can’t be that stupid?

    I’m not surprised no other buyer has been found. You’d have to be a basket case to take them on. Them building a £500m stadium was completely reckless, and an absolute gamble which didn’t pay off.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/27336620/everton-administration-777-partners/ At risk of going into administration tomorrow morning if 777 can’t agreeement on extending a £158m loan from MSP. Not exactly clear to me whether that extension approval is from the Premier Leavue, or MSP. The...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    There is a bit of a bloody difference between government concessions (benefits) to pensioners, most of whom have been tax payers and paid for those discounts for years in advance - and a private company giving a discount to an in demand event. I have no concerns with government handouts. In...

    By increasing the value of the club. More equity, hopefully - brings growth, and success both on and off the pitch. Made up numbers - but let’s say - they invest £1bn today for 25% of the club, with is worth £4bn Their investment is used wisely and successfully. 10 years down the line the...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    I disagree. Why should somebody get a discount simply because of their age? They are utilising the same services etc. As the club pointed out - the % of ‘senior citizens’ with concession tickets has risen 4 fold in the 5 years we’ve been in the new stadium. It either becomes a burden on the...

    It’s pretty much operating profit (£135m) which is the important figure. The loss before tax includes depreciation and other non-football related expenses which don’t count towards PSR.
