SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2022/23

'Followed FFP' my hole: Everton could face Premier League investigation as Leeds and Burnley raise FFP concerns

Everton haven't followed FFP at all. They've frittered away a fortune, on mostly shite, while trying to cook their books. Now they are being looked at, they've had to tighten the ship. Some of the money makers at EFC have blown is eye-watering.

Honestly i dont know how it works but Everton are the last people I'd imagine had any money to break rules with and the last people would spend it wisely if they had.

I don't mean that as an insult either. Spending money wisely is, as LFC have demonstrated, an acquired skill.

 

243.8lb this am.

Muscle is down though. I may need readjusting.

The pants i wore to Scotland need new holes in the belt.

That's as good news as any micro analysis i suppose.

 

How do you know muscle is down?

 

Every f'n week this summer goddamn tory weather machine

 

Question! Irish, Slice, Feebes, X

When we were kids and playing fitbaw (or armies!) The two captains decided who got to first pick of teammates by playing 'tick-tack' first

They start 30 feet apart and start advancing towards each other in alternating heel to toe foot lengths.

Tick
Tack!
Tick
Tack!

Whoever stood on the other kids toe picked first. Usually you were allowed to turn your foot sideways once.

Is that a thing elsewhere?

 

COMPUTER SAYS NO!!

Tanita scales.£200 job. As accurate as they come.

 

Nope, not for us. It was a simple 'ching Chang walla' for first pick here ('rock, paper, scissors', if you prefer)

Armies. Fucking great. Charging around the park with cheapo camoflague (aka mud) on your coupon and a big fuck off stick in your hands.

MTF

 

Never heard of that mate but it's funny I do remember being picked as good as last for a 5 a side team .....sat there like the ugly girl at a county dance

Your thing must be a Glasgow tradishooon.

 

I remember it well. Some guys though took it very seriously and accumulated mucho equipment.
So basically it was all about funding and budgets, even then

 

LMAO. Two clubs that Everton passed by in the final weeks started panicking and blew the whistle. Let me know how those investigations go.

He asked why Everton aren't spending money. That's the main reason. And yes, since Moshiri took over he's wasted a shitload of money on mostly crap. Go on to any EFC site and it's the #1 complaint by far. He meddles in the decision making and he obviously doesn't know shit about football.

 

Remember the "Chicken People" at Blackburn?

"3rd or 4th at least"

 

Never heard of it.

I think Teradactyl Boy made that up.

 

This is a legit massive result, there's been three this Summer alone

Livingston, Ludigorets and now CSKA Sofia beaten by Irish clubs.

I can't really emphasise how big this is for an Irish side to do. It's akin to Blackburn doing Bayern tomorrow

 

Brondby or Basel next. These guys are also Champions League guys. I think €1m is shit money for a side that small to be getting if they play and beat what are essentially teams with a recent and prospective Champions League pedigree.

Our players don't even have fancy names.

Anto? Billy? Barry?

Sounds like the round up on the yard at primary school.

 

Sorry bud, but Everton have been taking the piss out of FFP for years. It is widely publicised: Everton strategy now 'crystal clear' after £300m+ FFP ruling - Maguire

It's genuinely mind-blowing how badly Moshri had spent that money and how poor his attempts to cover it have been. He tried to write down about £170m as 'covid losses' at one point.

MTF

 

They were Covid losses.

Covid was on and Everton were losing.

Covid Losses. Accountancy 101.

Or 1-0 if you're Arsenal.

 

I see Feebles has become very regular know he's got his few quid and the prospect of not being trounced every weekend .....

 

Get this down you....photos don't do it justice...

 

What in the fuck kinda pizza is that???

Oh Lord. You guys really gotta try NYC/NJ Pizza.

 

Summer holidays, innit? Not much work on.

MTF

 

I shouldn't have thought this lad would have any work on either...

 

Arsenal survived. Now I can watch matchweek 1 in peace.

 

I'm up at 7am in the states to watch Fulham get spanked.

 

That's not certain. Fine weather, newly promoted side on the opening day, at home, they'll put in a performance.... 4 months from now they'll be easy meat but not today.

 

I am fucked if I'm sitting through another year of this stress

 

Southgate is right to drop TAA. He's a liability. He gets caught under more crosses than a Roman carpenter.

 

You called it.

 

Its usually the case, a recently promoted side yet to be bitten in the ass by the reality of life in the big time will always fancy their chances. Give them a few months and they'll be losing 2 out of every 3 as the season grinds on. By April they'll be hanging on. If not Fulham, then both of the other two promoted sides.
