    Unlikely considering they sold Gordon and so have made a transfer profit the last couple of seasons.

    Isn’t this the same for all Clubs though? Like, all PL clubs have to submit at the end of December and if any breach they get a points deduction?

    TL;DR: Everton might face another points deduction due to a new breach of Premier League financial rules. The original deduction was related to overspending on loans for their stadium. Despite protests from fans and accusations of regulatory malpractice, the Premier League insists the process was fair and based on agreed-upon principles.

    • Everton faces the possibility of another points deduction for breaching financial rules.
    • The original deduction was linked to overspending on loans for their new stadium.
    • Everton is submitting accounts for the 2022-23 season earlier due to new regulations expediting straightforward breaches.
    • Concerns arise that Everton might be close to breaching financial rules again with the same calculation system.
    • Fans protested the original ruling, and accusations of regulatory malpractice were made by Everton’s season-ticket holder, Manchester’s mayor.
    • The Premier League, through Chairwoman Alison Brittain, refutes claims of malpractice, stating that clubs, including Everton, agreed in 2020 not to have a fixed tariff for sanctions.
    • The Premier League proposed a sanction, but the independent commission dismissed it, highlighting the discretionary nature of sanctions.
    • Brittain rejects the accusation that the Premier League is using Everton’s case to prove self-regulation before an independent football regulator arrives.

    I know it’s not just down to spending on players but we’ve literally had to sell to buy these last few years and have one of the lowest net spends in the league.

    I just don’t see how we’re the only team to break the rules

    All clubs have to submit their accounts by the end of December. If they are again over the loss threshold, Everton will receive another punishment. It was confirmed that a new breach of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules should be dealt with by the end of May.

    Okay, why is it that Everton can be hit so swiftly while City and Chelsea have been allowed to cheat year after year without consequence?

      Everton’s also wasn’t that quick, which is the entire point of the article above.

      The rules have been changed (rightly in my opinion) so that any overspending is punished the season that it is published in the accounts now. Previously that would rumble over multiple seasons, which is why Everton’s existing deduction is related to their accounts from previous seasons, at the expense of the teams who went down those years.

    Tbh the future for PL clubs lie with very rich and politically Strong owners who can beat the system with money/lawyers/corruption.

    Any club not doing this will eventually end up being either a lower mid table club who is in risk of relegation in most seasons or will end up getting relegated to lower leagues.
