Very clearly, no causal relationship btw spend and pts @premierleague
But also shows 2015/16 - 2021/22:
1. No club spending >£200m has been relegated
2. No club spending >£300m has ever finished below 10th
3. Only one club spending >£300m (Chelsea 2015/16) finished below 8th
3. Strong correlation btw Spend and Points across whole league
4. Weak correlation where clubs spend <£300m
5. Weak correlation where clubs spend >£300m
What does it all mean?

The @premierleague also posted another document today - rejecting request for other clubs to participate as complainants in the @Everton hearing
Some implications here too….
Five clubs filed a request for a general joinder - combining their grievances with the PL.
Leeds
Forest
Southampton
Leicester
Burnley

Looking over the 41 page @premierleague Independent Commission Report on @Everton’s violation of P&S Regulations.
Quite a lot of stuff to unpack.
But the PL have played serious hardball with Everton
#thread
Before we do, it’s perhaps important to point out that with serious allegations against @ManCity and @ChelseaFC - the @premierleague may be disincentivising honesty in financial reporting here

If you understand anything about the CCP it’s that they have no guilt or shame about exploiting any vulnerabilities their rivals/enemies may have.
If we leave ourselves open, then we have to expect they will attempt to take advantage. They view this as our problem. Not theirs.
In instances where they can exert power, they will do so ruthlessly and callously - as long as it serves their own ends.
Where they lack power, they’ll seek any opportunity to undermine us
