After the Premier League handed out a ten-point deduction to Everton, Martyn Ziegler explains what could happen next for other clubs if they are found guilty of breaking rules
FFP would mean most of their players would leave. The remainder would have to be sold to cover payouts to the PL for fines and other clubs for damages IE. Everton are facing a £300m lawsuit for 1 £20m overspend.
How will they pay for all the resources? No sponsor is touching them for years, so only gate money. I doubt the owners would be deemed fit to carry on and most youth products would want to move to a top flight club.
Possibly, if they have the gate revenue to do so.
They won’t if the owners are barred and no sponsor touches them.
True but they haven’t lied about their revenue. Being a big club with big grounds/support and legitimate sponsorship isn’t breaking FFP. Lying about payments to get an unfair advantage is. The big clubs will be the first to sue, but most of the premier league and anybody relegated in the last dozen years will be seeking damages.
My response to all of that is Juventus managed it. Obviously different circumstance, but exile doesn’t mean no one will sponsor or bankroll you
