00:00 It's a kick in the teeth.
00:01 You know, for a premiership, it's like having it in a suit.
00:03 The size of the sanction, which is unprecedented,
00:09 and it's quite shocking.
00:10 It appears to me that the Premier League have attempted
00:13 to use a sled jammer to crack a nut.

00:40 One that's left me incredibly angry and frustrated,
00:45 and I don't just believe that it will be Evertonians who
00:49 are angry and frustrated.
00:51 It seems as if Everton Football Club have been made scapegoats.
00:55 If something got worse, it could be construed
00:59 as a minor misdemeanor.
01:02 There is no doubt that Everton were not run particularly well
01:04 during the period, and that's blindingly obvious
01:07 by the on-field performances.
01:09 But we're also getting beaten with a baseball bat
01:11 because the Premier League want to try and play politics
01:16 and seek to avoid an independent regulator.

01:29 I don't think that we could clearly
01:32 be using to our advantage.
01:34 I don't think there's ever a better set of circumstances
01:39 for any football club or football fan
01:43 to actually be involved in a siege mentality.
01:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:13 Ever since I've been here, there's been pressure.
02:15 And also, you know, around Everton Football Club,
02:17 and we've been trying to sort of stay calm
02:21 within lots of different challenges here.
02:23 I think we mostly have done trying
02:26 to get things right on the pitch or better, certainly,
02:29 and trying to improve other areas of the club.
02:31 And there's so much noise here, to be honest,
02:33 that it's just another part of it.
