It meant that Manchester City could throw \u00a3200million Abu Dhabi cash at building one the world&#8217;s most impressive training facilities. None of it was part of the FFP calculation.<\/p>\n<p>That training facility became a lucrative commercial opportunity &#8211; part of City&#8217;s groundbreaking \u00a335million sponsorship deal with Etihad, which spawned what has become known as the &#8216;Etihad Campus.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It also became a way of persuading young players to join City, rather than Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged artificial inflation of the Etihad sponsorship deal is central to the Premier League&#8217;s 115 charges against City, over breaches of sustainability rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The investigation began five years ago and there&#8217;s still not sign of the kind of report that Everton have been hit with. That&#8217;s what the world&#8217;s most expensive lawyers buy you. City deny the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Everton were given the very distinct impression that the cost of interest on loans to build their Bramley Moore Dock Stadium would be excluded from sustainability considerations, just like City&#8217;s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They argued that six other clubs had been able to keep them out of the financial calculation and that this was an investment in the long-term future of a club and its city.<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072881-12776193-image-a-11_1700589142285.jpg\" height=\"443\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Toffees were given the very distinct impression that the cost of interest on loans to build their Bramley Moore Dock Stadium would be excluded from sustainability considerations<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072469-12776193-image-a-5_1700588643548.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dyche&#8217;s Everton side are now joint bottom of the Premier League, level on points with Burnley<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072617-12776193-image-a-8_1700588797005.jpg\" height=\"433\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Everton chief Farad Moshiri (right) stands alongside prospective owners from 777 Partners<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072889-12776193-image-a-12_1700589158672.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dominic Calvert-Lewin&#8217;s club could be in for their toughest relegation battle yet this campaign<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League agreed. Last week&#8217;s independent commission report, which ruled against Everton, relates precisely when &#8211; January 14, 2021 &#8211; in black and white, in points 26 and 27 of its findings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet read on a further two pages, to points 33 and 34 of the report, and you see the picture changing. It relates how a call, in December 2022, from the Premier League to Katie Charles, Everton&#8217;s director of legal services, informed the club that a subsequent stadium interest payment would count towards the losses.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of chin-stroking about the ten-point punishment imposed on Everton by the Premier League for a \u00a319.5million overspend &#8211; the cost of a decent Championship player. But precious little discussion about how those rules actually changed mid-process in Everton&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<p>No discussion, come to mention it, of how Manchester City and West Ham United were both gifted taxpayer funded stadiums, built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and 2012 Olympics, respectively. Had City not settled into the stadium built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, it is doubtful that Abu Dhabi would have even bought the club.<\/p>\n<p>What wouldn&#8217;t Everton have given for a purpose-built stadium, all costs covered, to move into, during their infernal battle to get planning permission for one, stretching back the best part of 15 years? I remember sitting with their one-time chief executive Robert Elstone, in a meeting room at Goodison in 2009, hearing him describe Everton&#8217;s desperate need for a stadium to generate growth.<\/p>\n<p>Everton&#8217;s capacity was &#8211; and still is &#8211; less than 40,000. City now pack in more than 53,000. West Ham attract 60,000. Everton would not have incurred this marginal breach of the sustainability rules if they had not been building a new \u00a3300million football stadium to help protect their Premier League future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072653-12776193-image-a-9_1700588829919.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Toffees supporters will continue to rally behind their team as they fight for top flight survival<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072507-12776193-image-a-6_1700588698464.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram (above) has branded the 10-point deduction as &#8216;excessive&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Few have provided better perspective than Jamie Carragher: &#8216;Certain Big Six clubs threatened to join the European Super League and received a \u00a322million fine between them,&#8217; he observed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to overstate the indignation felt by the club&#8217;s fans at the sheer disproportionality of last week&#8217;s judgement. The GoFund me page set up to find cash for banners protesting the decision has raised \u00a340,000. The Premier League might consider whether it really wants to suffer the indignity of trying to broadcast its &#8216;anthem&#8217; before Everton play Manchester United at Goodison on Sunday. &#8216;We&#8217;re coming for you,&#8217; states a banner placed at the club&#8217;s training ground.<\/p>\n<p>But beyond that febrile indignation, there is an argument of cool logic to be made about the value of a stadium which, whilst draining Everton&#8217;s cash now, will serve club and city in years to come. Bramley Moore is a mere 20-minute walk out from the Liver Building and will extend the city&#8217;s footprint.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is a massive opportunity for that area to be properly regenerated and Everton and that stadium would be an anchor to that renaissance,&#8217; Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram told me recently.<\/p>\n<p>It was Peter Reid, writing in last weekend&#8217;s Mail on Sunday, who pointed out the flagrant contradiction of that arena on the Mersey&#8217;s banks &#8211; paraded with bells and whistles by the FA as a tournament venue for the UK&#8217;s 2028 Euros &#8211; dragging Everton into a ten-point deduction. &#8216;It seems wrong to me that some of Everton&#8217;s issues revolve around the building of a new stadium that will also be used for the country&#8217;s benefit at the European Championships,&#8217; Reid said.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to put things any better than that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/17\/78072829-12776193-image-a-10_1700589071022.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also agreed that the punishment was surprising given that big six clubs eager to start the European Super League were only given a fine between them<\/p>\n<p><span>Mendy bid could set troubling precedent\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes of course, the disclosure that the dismal Benjamin Mendy is suing Manchester City for \u00a310million in wages not paid to him during his trial on multiple charges of rape and sexual assault makes your heart sink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s apparently struggling to pay the British tax authorities a debt of nearly \u00a3800,000, too.

For example, might the Everton player suspended and released by the club after he was arrested in 2021 on suspicion of child sexual abuse offences, attempt the same for loss of projected earnings?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Greater Manchester Police said this year that no further action would be taken against the player. It\u2019s not inconceivable that clubs will write clauses into players\u2019 contracts governing situations like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Truly, a development to make your heart sink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/18\/73375769-12776193-Benjamin_Mendy_is_seeking_back_unpaid_salary_from_Manchester_Cit-a-13_1700590213969.jpg\" height=\"446\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Mendy is seeking back unpaid salary from Manchester City, it was revealed this week<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/21\/18\/76162105-12776193-The_Frenchman_s_contract_with_Man_City_expired_in_June_2023_but_-a-14_1700590218616.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman&#8217;s contract with Man City expired in June 2023, but they stopped paying him in September 2021 as he was facing trial for a string of sex offences, which he denied<\/p>\n<p><span>Digging out an old classic\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A wet Sunday afternoon last weekend brought a dusting down of the ancient PlayStation 2, languishing in the back of a cupboard.\u00a0And, after the 15-minute process of loading the disc, a match ensued between my grandson and me on the FIFA 2005 game which has been untouched since our own kids played it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His Manchester United against my Bristol Rovers (nice kit) was a throwback to the days when Ronaldo, Keane, van Nistelrooy and Co wore United&#8217;s jerseys.
