Everton and EPL now being sued over ffp

Why not run on a calendar year and have them submitted by 31st December.
No accounts done = January transfer ban, and this means everything can be sorted during the season (unless you're Man City).

The capacity of Goodison is approx 40000. 19 matches a season. If with ticket sales, beer and burgers each person spends £50, that's £38m. Even if you say £100 it's only £76m. I get that clubs have other costs but matches were still televised so they were still getting money from Sky, which increasingly seems like the highest priority.
£400m sounds very high. Anyone know what other Premier League clubs claimed.

Totally agree, but you can see where the accounting fuckery might come from.

The threat was that we would not put forward for European qualification if we were in dispute with home fa. As we had a few cup chances to qualify for Europe we accepted points deduction

Totally agree with everything you say - faux yardstick indeed. To have any impact action has to be taken in the same season that it’s happening.

In Everton’s defense I think the reason it’s muddy is because the losses cover the COVID years. £400m losses over 3 years is a hell of a figure when the allowable losses are something like £150m, but it covers that period where clubs had no gate income at all and the world generally fell apart so it’s hard to calculate. Reading between the lines it sounds like FFP was basically suspended for that period, so they’ll probably get away with it.

6 months gate receipts don’t constitute 250m. Unless their STs are about 7k each with no concessions
