The Everton Forum • Re: Financial Fairplay Investigation - Charged again

Essentially that Sigurdsson is irrelevant because a player can lose any player to unforeseeable circumstances, e.g. long term injury, and it wouldn't be provided as a mitigating factor.

Although I'm surprised the club didn't make more of "he was arrested on suspicion of child abuse and was suspended by the Club and then the FA" You'd think the fact we wasn't able to unsuspend him would have been a factor, though it we made no attempt to then it would be a difficult argument.

My issue is more with the timeline of what was meant to happen and when, and what the different public persception was. At no point did the club announce they'd terminated his services in August. He was still showing on the official site squad list in October.

Both the Echo and the BBC have him leaving in the summer of 2022 at the end of his contract. The official site suspiciously doesn't have a date for him leaving or reason[https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/transfers]. The news report of Delph and Tosun also leaving at the same time is absent from the club site too.
