Football The 2023-24 Football Thread

I see some news outlet(s) and Twits are showing that an announcement is imminent in regards to the second round of breaches of FFP...

Nottingham are in the direct firing line, I can absolutely understand that as they went absolutely nuts when they got promoted...

... But they're saying Everton have breached again. Even though reviews have being made and due to the sales of like Gordon and Richarlison, so either that's hot air or something is amiss.

We've barely spent on anything. With the exception of the stadium obviously

 

[Embattle]

Perhaps your updated accounts were wrong as well, time will tell.

 

[Embattle]

Ironically they were both charged just before my post:

Nottingham Forest and Everton could face points deduction after Premier League charges

Nottingham Forest are facing a potential points deduction and Everton could lose more points after being charged with breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules

Meanwhile, at City and Chelsea...

The whole thing is absurd, yes, if they have breached rules/regulations, then they should be punished, but you can't punish some and not others.

 

[Scouse]

Meanwhile, at City and Chelsea...

133 charges at City, or something, right?

Punted into the 4th division?

They will eventually but I've said to others before that Chelsea have a unique set of circumstances when the owner got sanctioned, City are just kicking the can down the road.

This was interesting when I read it yesterday, the Premier League are changing the rules to this in August 2024.

But because Everton (and Forest) admitted to the charge(s) they've being immediately reprimanded impacting this season.

But Man City have deferred this until 2025 when the new changes come into force. So will anything against them be retroactive, or will they use their council of lawyers to go on post-August 2024 changes.

It's absolute bollocks that we're at risk of being charged again though for the same period. We have to hope that we have some serious success with the appeal(s) that are in place now

When from? Some of the stuff they are throwing at Everton is as recent as last season. City shenanigans go back years. Granted, Chelsea is probably fairly complicated, but only recently, again, dodgy for years.

 

[Embattle]

City's is more based around over inflating various sponsorship deals etc, uefa did try to get them on the same thing but they have time limitations iirc.

Hardly unique, isnt Everton in same boat?

 

[Embattle]

No.

 

[Ormorof]

Owner got sanctioned, so they have less funds than planned and no bailout plan, sounds the same to me

 

[Embattle]

I didn't realise Farhad Moshiri had been sanctioned, not had the club. Now you might be referring to the person who was constantly rumoured to actually be funding but it still isn't the same.

 

[Deebs]

Oh ok then, go on Chelsea

 

[Deebs]

This is so naughty, feel for them, nah, do I fuck.

 

[Scouse]

Worth half a billion quid to come back against a championship side


To be fair though - you guys need something to smile about and a trip to Wembley'll do that. It'll be either us or Fulham

Blimey that came out of nowhere, why would he decide this months ago? He's on course to win the league this season I feel (...) along with other trophies.

Could this nix their season??

 

[Scouse]

I think part of the reason he wants more time off for players is that he wants a fucking holiday himself.

My choice would be Xabi Alonso right now. He might be a flash in the pan, but I doubt it tbh.

Just seen the video announcement, "running out/ran out of energy"...

Hope there's not any sort of health condition attached to that which they're obviously keeping private.

I've liked him enormously, there's just something about him. I think there was just one season where he was a moaning arse throughout, but he's got out of that

 

[Ormorof]

Disappointed i havent seen any "The Klopp End" headlines yet

 

[Raven]

Genuinely likeable fella. A loss to the premier league.

I hear Maureen is in the job market.

Son was around until 5 minutes into the 2nd half, he decided that it was too upsetting watching Chelshitty getting fucked by Lollerpool. I obviously took the piss and tried to make him more angry as any caring father would.

I tell you what. I think Connor Bradley should start against Arsenal, rather than Trent. He's fucking epic.

Francesco gets so worked up I was giggling like a kid and then the pain got too much, he would be quiet for 5 minutes until the next Chelshitty fuckup, then I would wind him up again and rinse and repeat until he had enough and stormed out.

Bless him, he made his Dad laugh so much he had tears of joy.

I mean, so what?

La Liga investigates Bellingham's alleged comment

La Liga is using a lip-reading expert to investigate a comment Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham is alleged to have made towards Getafe's Mason Greenwood.

Does Bellingham have to be nice?

 

[Deebs]

Jeez, watching the women's footie on BBC (recorded earlier). One of the female commentators is making me laugh so much with her eloquent speaking skillz, NOT! I thought I was bad not pronouncing my TH's but she takes my number 1 position, fucking bitch

Fing is she didn't kick va ball proper.

 

[Deebs]

Oh and stop saying

"She is really good around the box", "She is a good dribbler of the ball"

I've not got enough tissues in the house.

 

[Deebs]

Oh @Scouse you there or taking out your anger on the livestock?

LOLZ

Meh. First real loss of the season. Had to happen sometime.

Always said the title's City's to lose
