I was deffo under the misapphension that 115m (so 10m over the 105 upper threshold) was blind-eye territory - but I see from your steer (I've had a gans at the main document) that that's plain wrong. Cheers for the heads-up. Would you agree that whilst the ruling certainly says that we had a sporting advantage - thus contradicting so many of the dispatches over the weekend - that it wasn't a deliberately sought advantage; it was essentially the default benefit of remaining in the Premier League? Sporting, yes. Dishonest, no. Finally, do you hold that Player Y is actually Michael Keane? I'd heard the Esk assert that it's DCL. So I made the mistake of listening to his podcast with his two sidekicks. Aside from a bizarre vignette when one of them (not the Esk) managed to place the Allardyce tenure after that of Clown Kex's (!), there was a whole section discussing Kenwright's evidently background dealings to sell DCL in 2020 (they even drew a parallel with Kenwright/Rooney in 2004). Yet the Commission clearly stated that Player Y was originally on Brands' sell-list in early 2020 but then not only disappeared from a later version of it, but also signed a new contract in the summer 2020 window. Thus leading to the view that we had no intention thereafter to sell. That sketch, though, fits Keane perfectly. He was understandably on the sell list by early 2020 for all the usual Kegger reasons. But then he had a resurgence once the Covid games restarted in June 2020 and played some great stuff, even forcing himself back into the England reckoning. His rebirth was such - without crowd pressure of course - that he probably just about earned a new deal, albeit five years was an eye-opener (and clearly drafted with sellable value in mind). (*) There was just no way that Ancelotti would have given Brands the nod to include Calvert-Inzaghi on the sell list. He was a major plank of his whole Everton plan. Yet Esk insists that he was Player Y and his followers have gone along with it. One of the Esk sidekicks even stated that he "doesn't do dates", meaning he was admitting that even recent Everton history and sequences aren't his forte. Not good enough when you're one of three regular talking heads on a much vaunted Esk podcast (the main fella, Paul Quinn; he the Esk?) sounds like a decent bloke but his acolytes were hopeless and if that episode was typical of what he usually puts out then I can see why so many others hold him in low regard; it was a shambolic listen to be frank and very often cringeworthy.) (* if it is Kegger then I'm claiming first gag on him being moreso Player Why?)
