The club are saying the overspend is to do with the stadium and should not be counted. The premier league is saying it is not the stadium and it should be counted. Is the club just making stuff up? Is it written down somewhere for the directors to see what they’ve messed up on?

BBC radio Five live football finance expert said that the club are doing the same as Spurs did for their new stadium and the premier league allowed it for Spuds but said ours was not clear and hence it should be considered overspend.
What is going on?
{Ed002's Note - infrastructure is not considered. The issue is that Everton counted loans as working capital.}

It just stinks.
You watch the rules will be changed for next season! How you can get fined twice in one season is beyond me.

It appears (may be Everton PR porkies) , that the commission accepted Evertons submission that the first two years of this period have already accrued the 6 points as the last two years of the last period. Ergo the 16.6 overspend only attracting 2 pts. Have no idea what Evertons appeal can be based on.

Because it worked last time, so their thinking might as well have another go :)
