So the £19 overspend for PSR was the Mychelenko signing which Everton at the time had to approach the Premier League for the ok to sign players due to our financial position. This signing was okayed by the Premier League and has now cost us a 6 point deduction and a total pay out of almost £65 million which also invcludes a compensation made to Leeds for them being relegated. Also are we now going to get Leicester, the 3rd team relegated, now seeking compensation for being s***? And will the 3 teams relegated this season, Burnley included for a 2nd time in 3 seasons, want compensation from us? I wish we had gone down because this Premier League are hellbent on making sure we never return to our perch, founder members of the Football League and pathfinders all over the shop, being treated like absolute s****.

If we spent £19 on the Myko transfer, it would still be £19 too much.

I didn't understand it at the time we sold Digne to Villa for £23 million because of FFP, nothing to do with agent, Rafa not liking him, then spent £19 million on Mykolenko to replace him.

It's all to do with balance sheets and amortisation. When we sold Digne (however it was structured) , we got the full balance on the "FFP" sheet, £23m. When we bought Mykolenko, we will have amortised the purchase over his 4 year contract, i.e. £4.75m per season.
This means that, in the season we sold Digne and bought Myko, we were net £18.25m up on that deal. That's only the accounting side though. I think it's well understood now that "The fat waiter" tried to dismantle us as much as he could when in charge.
