Everton’s Window of Clarity

The new commissioners on the block dusted themselves down, adjusted one’s ties, photo looked at the young Evertonian girl holding her Christmas placard ‘All I want for Christmas is our 10 points’, wish granted, Santa’s back in town, four points is the offering gift wrapped. An emotional day for all Evertonians. Supporters, the staff, the players, the technical director, the manager Sean Dyche who has led from the front alongside his coaching staff, they are all working diligently to achieve mission impossible to retain their status. For all the stigma claims made against Everton’s intended owners 777, they have played their part with continued loan funding. Farhad Moshiri will make sure the new stadium is completed, that would have been Bill Kenwright’s wish make no mistake all Moshiri ever intended was for the club’s good, misguided became the road map, Bramley Moore Stadium, Premiership Football, fly the banner, Sean Dyche and all that, the ‘Dogs of War’ the catalyst to prevail. A second sanction will be served but a target of five wins in the remaining matches will close the relegation door firmly shut.

The Strange Ones

Spoon the trifle, is that the takeaway, Radio TalkSport’s offering of football’s financial expert Stefan Borsan laying claim to the Premier League are now smelling of roses, add that manure, reference the CEO Richard Masters, quote Borsan “Come out clean”. If Borsan wants to sit there waffling bull shit then stay at home, the nodding dogs of Jim White and Simon Jordan in agreeance with Borson are surely taking the piss. If not, what footballing landscape are they placed on. To put more shit on his stove, Jordan articled that it’s unfair criticism of Manchester City with their 115 charges pending, that’s larder tripe, as Jordan would quote “What’s that got to do with the price of cheese”. Confusion for the confused.

The UEFA Puzzle

Whatever happened to UEFA’s puzzle on the profit and sustainability linked as the financial fair play regulations which were implemented in 2010? So where has it been hiding recently coming into football’s consciousness, where have the missing pieces been? Now flowering into fruition? Does a slow implementation solve the puzzle, or has it been gathering dust in the UEFA’s attics? Ride that donkey. The billboard reads to equal out on a level playing field, financially under the termed equality.

UEFA’s dusty closet is to introduce new sustainability regulations to replace the FFP. To come under the umbrella of solvency, stability, and cost control. The aim is to become a larger iron glove to control club’s finances. The initial marker will be to limit club’s spending on players’ wages and transfer costs to set a limit of 70% of clubs’ revenues. Further on down the track, 90% of revenues is the projected marker. As for the proposed sin bins for players, that does need to remain in the UEFA attic. The continued revolving door of football’s decision makers, in part it becomes a pantomime big top at UEFA’s HQ.

Paul Pogba

In 2016 France’s talisman, Paul Pogba, arrived at Manchester United for a then world record fee of 89 million pounds with hope eternal, the blossoming of doom and gloom became Pogba’s eternal offering to Manchester United, abject failure, are the club to blame, or perhaps the drainage problem at United. The owners the Glaziers caused the abjectivity, the downfall of Pogba’s career is of his own making. This was the destiny he dallied with to ride the train of carefree and abandonment detailed the Pogba downfall.

Let’s fast track to the Frenchman’s failed drugs test for digesting the high-level testosterone to enhance performance levels, scientifically speaking the proper wording can be termed as dehydroepiandrosterone. No shirt sponsoring on that snaked wording, to digest the snake a four year ban has been the resulting snake server for Pogba providing the positive result. At the start of the season at club Juventus v Udinese, the midfielder’s career is effectively over. Pogba’s lawyers lay claim to their client accidentally ingesting the substance, not spoon fed so to speak, pathetic. Quote Pogba “I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements that violate any doping regulations”, the usual type quote from sporting drug fiends, quotes of no relevance. Pogba will re-route to CAS the Court of Arbitration for Sport to rail against the four year ban with CAS link to article Aug 5^th 2020 ‘The Bunch of Thieves’, with UEFA’s intended two year European ban v Manchester City failing. Manero questions the integrity of the financial fair play regulations, but will City be found guilty later on extended charges. A brief interlude from the Pogba case which highlights the power yielded by CAS, but Pogba’s guilt has a high approval rating, to be clear and visible.

Pogba was dogged by injuries at United, nicknamed ‘Dogma’ the Pogba turbulence led to the loss of desire, cheating with feigned injuries while dancing the night away on a wooden leg and went full throttle into the supporters faces via the media outlets. Dogma showed no shame working out in a Dubai gym, while allegedly injured, enjoy the sun man, it’s cold in Manchester, United cottoned the expenses. So sports people who dope up are weak and pitiful, is that right? Dopers previous levels of sustainability have either lazily pipe holed, the work ethics gone, or father time has acquainted oneself, Pogba gave up on football, the ghost, now you see him, now you don’t. Link to articles ‘Manero Follows the Hype’ Nov 19^th2019 and ‘What’s the Beef, Paul Pogba’ Jan 24^th 2023. Inserted the ‘drama queen’ it’s time to say au revoir to the Manchester United and Juventus villain the trickster Pogba.
