The Everton Forum • Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Charged again
No idea how true it is, but I read on the Forest forum that one of the loans we've claimed was for the stadium actually had 'must not be used for stadium costs'.So, until the Premier League decided to change the rules, mid-process, the interest payments on the stadium would have been exempt? Well surely that is a major factor in defending our position in this, no? If the goalposts are moved, mid-process, then surely it is nigh on impossible for us not to be in breach. Therefore, it shouldn't be too difficult to demonstrate that the Premier League have acted in bad faith and have treated us unfairly, especially when you consider that other clubs have been allowed to invest in stadium developments, which were presumably exempt from the calculations.
I haven't heard that anywhere else so probably bollocks, but no doubt we'll have tried to pass some stuff off as stadium costs that weren't. If that's the case it's more probably we've broken rules that were always in place, but tried to make it look like we hadn't.
