Thought these were interesting.
'For example, a deliberate cynical breach of the PSR to achieve a sporting advantage might increase culpability beyond that already arrived at by the extent of the breach. We do not think that this is such a case. Everton may have taken unwise risks, but it did so in the mistaken belief that it would achieve PSR compliance: it is not a case of a deliberate breach.'
'The Commission is satisfied that Everton’s PSR calculation in relation to 33 stadium interest was less than frank. The Premier League has made it clear that it makes no allegation of dishonesty. We consider, therefore, that Everton did not consciously intend to circumvent the Rules but there is no doubt that it failed to discharge the duty of utmost good faith imposed by B15. This is an aggravating factor that increases Everton’s culpability.'
The ten point deduction is for being badly run. I think that will be reduced on appeal.
The PLC may well be out to get us, and prove they have balls, but it once again shows how poorly we have been run since Moshiri took over.
Colin Chong looks like a rabbit in headlines.
I am hoping the club's lawyers won't be.
