Tottenham knew they had, in John White, the closest thing to Jimmy Mac they had.

But, in reality, there was no comparison.

Royboyclaret

Someone has just reminded me, look at Jimmy Mac for that contribution to Robson's third goal.

Don't talk to me about Messi.

Played during a horrible winter on a Wednesday afternoon and you can see from the pics that there was plenty of snow. That season we played Sheffield Wednesday on 29th December in the league and didn't play another league game until 2nd March at Sheffield United. Between them, we played Spurs and t...

Didn’t they beat twice before with really dodgy offside goals ,or us having good goals disallowed? Certainly a few contentious decisions in both the Semi-Final in '61 and the Final in '62......One of those in the Final, when the teams were level, still gives me nightmares to this day......If VAR ha...

Some great matches,who can rember this ? Maybe some body on here might have attended ? https://youtu.be/mU8Lr9oZAG8?si=7XMkvASDK0IDNtYS The remarkable thing about this game it was the third year in succession we'd played Tottenham in the FA Cup. In '61 it was a semi-final at Villa Park where we los...

Leeds & Leicester are supposed to be doing the same, I think it's the wisest choice all round to find some sort of a resolution & put the thing to bed. With not going whole hog it does make you doubt that the compensation amount won't be as high as some people thought it would be, but as the old sa...

Chester Perry will know this better than me but the word on "the financial street tonight" is that Everton hiearchy know they are in big trouble........Damage limitation at best........but, for sure, any points deductions will help us......bring it on.

Everton are appealing the number of points, not the verdict itself.

Therefore the 3 clubs, Burnley, Leeds and Leicester have grounds to make a claim

Burnley, of all clubs, have a serious claim.

Royboyclaret

What I keep hearing is the fact that the sanction is wholly inappropriate for the crime committed and see the figure just £19.5 Million banded around. The facts are clubs can make total losses over a three year period of £105 Million and Everton lost £124.5 Million, there is already a safety net an...

Football has dug a money hole with the help of the FA.
Owners have dug deeper than the FA wanted , the hole has become so deep the FA don't know how to fill it, so they will forget about that hole and start digging another.

No answer to that.

:) They broke the rules They know they’ve broken the rules They just feel the punishment doesn’t suit the rule breaking but it’s quite light in reality They deserve everything they get, as do City and Chelsea by the looks of it The PL either cracks down on everyone properly and sets precedents or ju...

Why would all three teams withdraw there plan to sue? If it’s as cut and dry as you believe

Quite simply the Burnley situation is completley different to others,

Looks like the three teams are set to withdraw there plans to sue Everton.

Perhaps it’s not quite as cut and dry as some on here make out.

Trust me it's very much cut and dry.

Everton are legless.

I've read today that Everton are at risk of breaching P&SR again when they submit their accounts for 2022/23 season. The suggestion in the article was that would lead to a further points reduction. All Premier League clubs - including Burnley - have to submit their accounts for last season (most ar...

There is a pot of money, in my opinion it doesn't matter where it is spent.

They had assets they could have sold to correct the imbalance but they chose not to, not cashing in those assets may have been the difference between survival and relegation.

You nailed it, Goody.

Royboyclaret

Where's Chester Perry ?

Royboyclaret

They did. But compared to what City and Chelsea have done down the years it does seem a disproportionately harsh punishment to me. It’s ok this new person at the top saying she is going to clamp down and trying to set some kind of example with Everton. About time too many would say but she is also ...

I meant that it is irrelevant in terms of the rules around nature and type expenditure are all clearly stated in the rules. For things like stadium builds it will not be classified as everyday operating expenditure - there will be a raft of rules and accounting treatment around capital expenditure....

How many transfer embargoes have we been under? Haven't Leicester just settled their FFP claim with the football league? Just a few million fine? Not a chance Everton will have all 10 points deducted. The prem will just have never ending court cases to deal with. Trust me Quickenthetempo....Everton...

Royboyclaret

As a claret fan of many years I feel deeply uneasy about any potential claim by BFC against Everton. Just imagine if it did, and I hope it never gets that far, result in Everton’s administration. Would you feel proud of such actions?? I think we are in danger of dragging the game down to new depths...

Royboyclaret

Everton today tabled an appeal against their 10 point deduction for flouting the rules. An independent commission will now be appointed to determine their fate, with a decision anticipated before the end of the season. Without trying to pre-empt any conclusion........the word on the street early thi...

Why have my posts disappeared ?

Royboyclaret

When signing a young player like this from a club at a similar level to us, I tend to think of a few questions why he would leave a club. Was he not good enough for Sheffield United, and if that's the case why would he be deemed good enough for us? Or did he simply turn down the offer of a new cont...

They’ve been found guilty of breaking the rules

That has cost us a fair chunk of monies from various revenue streams

They should be sued

At this moment in time an out-of-court settlement would be in Everton's best interests.

It would be nice to sue Everton. It won't be effective

Really ??.......A positive outcome would currently be the most likely scenario.

Royboyclaret

My thoughts/questions since this appears to be the suing thread: - The charges relate to the year we were relegated (despite the DM article saying they don’t). We’re therefore the lead club in terms of case, I’d imagine. - I’m not sure if it’s been proved that Everton also broke financial regulatio...

We should have done the double that year.

The ten league games plus a semi-final replay, all within 27 days in April, was simply too big an ask.

A cruel end to a brilliant season.

Remarkable to think that Jim will be 86 years young in three weeks time, apparently now enjoying his well earned retirement at Wilpshire near Blackburn. After leaving Burnley and Liverpool Jim was something of a "sandwich" goalkeeper at Arsenal, his respectable Gunners career fell in between the leg...

Royboyclaret

Can you imagine not being able to get into the Burnley team and having to go to Liverpool to get first team football? For my money Jim Furnell was always good enough to play in our first team but, to be fair, the competition was fierce firstly through Colin McDonald and then Adam Blacklaw. He wasn'...

'73/'74 will be remembered as a superb season but this performance against Plymouth was poor to say the least. Some notable names in that Plymouth team including Bobby Saxton, Paul Mariner and Ernie Machin. But most interestingly for me was the return to the Turf of goakeeper Jim Furnell. Jim had a ...

It was the other way with Seith - he went from Burnley to Dundee. Only player I know that we signed from Dundee is Kevin McDonald.

The infamous Jack Hillman came to us from Dundee in 1898.

22/10/1960, Chelsea 2 Burnley 6. Happier day in London. All that after a certain Jimmy Greaves had put Chelsea ahead early doors. Jimmy Mac was unplayable that day and scored twice, with JImmy Robson scoring a hat-trick and Brian Miller the other. Only Tottenham could live with us during that period.

Royboyclaret

Some wonderful memories of a very special player for us.

A sad day when he departed for Man United at the start of the '68/'69 season.

Congratulations on the honour.

Royboyclaret

Thought this may have been the headline from the home game against Chelsea in the '48/'49 season. Reg scored a rare goal that day and it was a special strike, one which Dad spoke about on many occasions.

Royboyclaret

Just prefer Tommy Boyle over Tommy Cummings over a last minute heading winner, so there we are, 1-0 to '20/'21.

Royboyclaret

If that’s a serious question then my answer would be that I think it is impossible to compare teams ( and players ) from different eras. All I can say is that our 20/21 and 59/60 teams were the best in England at that time. Just as our 2022/23 team were the best in The Championship last season. Not...

Was lucky enough to watch the vast majority of Jimmy’s Burnley appearances but only really got to know him well at Rochdale and Huddersfield.
