Kangaroo Court

I thought there was only one ToffeeWeb but there must be other sites like us, so I guess that's what you mean: we're all guilty of misleading you about the rules and missing the real issue?

I did try a search for "A Kind of Bias" on YouTube and could not see much that seemed to jive — although talking about jive, there's a rather Racey video about "Some Girls" — but that can't be what you're on about.

Got any better examples? Thanks!

Whatever, they have ruined football with their Sky Sports and the evil Sly Six. Personally, I now wish they would sod off and leave the rest of us to get back and watch real football. 3 pm on a Saturday and midweek games played at a decent time, so fans are not forced to stay in hotels or to get on a coach or train to get home as the sun is rising.

I may be a dreamer… but I'm not the only one.

Why hurry when the paymasters, the Premier League, have indicated they expect the decision to be made by the end of February? The task always expands to fill the time available.

However, it would not surprise me if we get an announcement tomorrow. They might want teams at the bottom to get their games out of the way, thinking it may give someone an advantage.

Luton playing tonight clears the midweek games. I hate to say this but I would love a Liverpool win, big style tonight.

Lord, please stop these mad musings.

Never mind Everton stretching themselves to the balls and getting penalised by PSR for borrowing money to pay for the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

You couldn't make it up, you really couldn't.

What Everton paid in interest on loans last year to finance the new stadium, would cover the rental West Ham pay for the London Stadium for years.

I don't know if they contributed to the conversion costs, probably not as all maintenance is included in the price. How could the original commission rule the loans were for day-to-day running costs of the club?

We're playing Brighton at the weekend. That is my immediate focus.

Whoever allowed the Premier League to deem our interest payments as running costs needs outing.

The Premier League cares about "the Product" and the "Customers". The Product is the corporate brands like the three just mentioned, and the Customers are the hundreds of millions of consumers around the world who buy into the Premier League entertainment package.

The Premier League is not run for the majority of the clubs, nor is it run for the fans who go to the games, nor is it run for the local TV fan – by which I mean fans who live in England and have grown up supporting the same club that their fathers and grandfathers supported.

The international Everton fans on this site are an anomaly – strange and exotic creatures who haven't picked a club simply in the hope of glory, who suffer when they could have chosen glory, and I tip my hat to them. But the Premier League is run for the glory clubs and their worldwide glory-hunters,

They took out a loan that specifically said it was for running the club and not for the stadium. It was written on the terms of the loan.

They then said before the Commission that even if they could have capitalised the interest against the stadium that they wouldn't have done so.

I recall reading that they may have since treated it differently (retrospectively), which I'm hoping is going to make a difference when the Premier League finally decide the rest of us should know what they know.

Ehhh, well, it could be that it's because that's exactly what the conditions of the loan document said they were for?

Oh, I see Ernie at #11 has already pointed that out.

From what I recall, Moshiri was providing INTEREST FREE loans to the Club for the stadium.

So there were no interest payment to be offset against stadium costs and loans taken out were stated to be for day-to-day running costs.
