Can someone explain the above to me? Are we trying to get money off Everton? That would seem to be opportunistic and in poor taste seeing as we survived anyway?
Maybe the club feel they had to spend unnecessarily due to others having an unfair advantage.
Clutching at straws. I don't have a clue why we'd be tying to be compensated
Hopefully we can claim we had to spend £19mio on Wood because of them
I'd argue Richards, Hwang and Biancone fees, on reflection deserve far more ridicule than Wood who to be fair has proved far more worth than any the above mentioned

I would be surprised if the 10 stands come the end of the season.
I'm also concerned we might be on the end of it one day all those shocking signings add up.

It's getting louder and louder that Chelsea and Manchester City will be relegated after their cases are heard.
That 7th place European dream will well and truly be on!

I’m not criticising the transfers, some work out some don’t. Nor am I suggesting we have broken any rules.
But I do think where it comes to Everton people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

WOW, would that mean that only the bottom club would be relegated?

Dunno how it would work or even when their cases will be heard but it's making big headlines here in Greece that both are likely to be relegated.

If that were the case, then this year’s ‘free pass’ will be all but extended into next season too.
Wolves were right in using this season to get their FFP balance sorted.
With a little patience and less panic buys, it gives the club time to see those 20/21 year olds grow into a very decent ‘Brighton-esque’ team for 2025/6.
It’s also an amazing opportunity to get the stadium built when we may not need to rely so heavily on the CG atmosphere for home form.

I absolutely agree Sal, Everton have obviously mismanaged transfers/spending and forest appear to have some sort of structure.
As for City and Chelsea, there's no way that's happening this season. Pep will be long gone before city face any punishment.

Apparently the Premier League clubs have voted against the ban on loaning players from clubs with the same owner. Doesn't really help us at the moment.

We haven’t had a penalty yet this season, whereas arsenal have the most with 6 (one every other game)
There could be a good reason for this case in point:
In case it’s too small a player needs a minimum of 28 touches
How can Luton have more players getting into the box during games?
I know taiwo has been injured, and he’ll probably be in there soon, but we need to be in there causing havoc and commuting defenders to the foul
Last year we were rewarded 6 penalties (only scored 3) so by that logic we should have had 2 by now

I’m guessing that Luton are playing more direct?
Given our relative positions I know which I’d prefer
