00:00 Well, for breaching a financial ruin of Premier League profit and sustainability rules in
00:07 the 2021/22 season, it was after the club posted its accounts, I think it was combined
00:14 losses over three years of £372 million and Premier League rules only allow over a three-year
00:20 period a maximum of £105 million. Everton robustly defended themselves but they've been
00:27 working with the Premier League, you know, when they've been making transfers in the
00:31 past they have been working with them to see if it was okay to do these deals. So I think
00:36 that's why Everton were shocked when they were hit with the charge initially. If Everton
00:40 had been given a, maybe even a six-pointers option, there'd be a few grumbles but maybe
00:45 think right, we lick our wounds and we go from there, we have a siege mentality but
00:51 ten points puts them right back into the mire really, you know, joint bottom now with the
00:56 Premier League.
