Calm down lad, calm down..... 19:17 - Jan 18 with 1366 views | LordPork | I'm usually reluctant to pitch in on other peoples clubs but the recent Everton issues obviously catch the eye. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton Many moons ago the company I worked for was having "trouble" with moaners at our depot in St Helens. It was explained to me that, despite them having the same deal as everyone else around the UK, they were always complaining. From being an independent asset we acquired they were shut down inside 10 year due to this attitude. Those comments have stayed with me ever since and every now and again comments and campaigns pop up to confirm those comments, not least this one in the BBC Sport section today. The "its always them, not us" stance. Quiet how/why they see themselves as not having to comply with FFP rules is beyond me. Even the complaining about "small club" designation well, they are aren't they. ? A big club is perhaps one that's won something in the last 20 odd years....they last won the Cup in 1995, I'd kinda be thinking consistency has a part to play in that comment too. Are they "bigger" than Leicester who won the League 2016, or are maybe Leicester bigger than Everton? Who knows, who cares ? Certainly not the Premier League. Regardless "they" still pitch to be considered and appraised in a way that seems to be separate from the rest of us. I guess the question is....why? | | | | |
