The Palace Fan 3,182 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Quote Everton have been handed a two-year academy transfer ban after being found guilty of breaking Premier League rules. The Premier League said it had received evidence alleging that "Everton Academy staff offered inducements to a player and his family to encourage the player to register with the club". Everton immediately admitted to the allegations, the Premier League said, with the club's own internal investigation finding similar misconduct had occurred in relation to six other Academy players. "In certain cases, it was found that the club provided false information to the League when questions had previously been raised about the circumstances in which Academy players registered with the club," the Premier League said. Everton will pay a fine of £500,000 and pay additional compensation payments to the former clubs of two Academy players. The club said they were "extremely disappointed with some of the practices we have found which are not in line with our values". An Everton statement said: "We have already commenced a full review of our Academy operations and are committed to ensuring that issues like this do not happen again at Everton."

Honey Honey 3,662 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It reminds me of Dream Team when that dodgy bloke would go around trying to convince kids and their families to sign up to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandoEFC 7,190 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think we should get a points deduction really. In seriousness, someone's head will roll for this presumably. Can't complain about the ban, hopefully we can still focus on producing the young lads who have been acquired legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 16,925 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Don't all clubs do this, or have reported to have done in the past? Not researched this but didn't Barca offer loads of incentives to Messi's family so that they could persuade him to move there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its part of the protection against leaving youngsters high and dry if the club want to get rid. Guessing also to do with stopping young talent being poached from bigger clubs further afield.

Cicero 5,153 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) This started at the beginning of the year. And like the beginning of the year, the club have continued to deny it. Edited November 15, 2018 by Cicero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we were banned for the transfer of Gael Kakuta back in the day, but it was taken off as there was no proof of us breaching any rules.
