Everton are reportedly at risk of yet another points deduction this season after they were already docked 10 points by the Premier League for breaking financial rules. Any breach of the division’s profit and sustainability rules will now be dealt with by the end of May, prompting fears that the Toffees may be punished once again.<\/p>\n
The Times have claimed that as Everton are preparing to submit their financial accounts for the 2022\/23 season, new regulations state that any breach of rules will be handled before the end of the current season as opposed to a time in the future when the club’s standing in the table was confirmed.<\/p>\n
There are worries that if the same calculation is used that found Everton guilty of breaking prior regulations, then they could be close to posting losses of more than \u00a3105 million over three seasons and be given another points deduction.<\/p>\n
Such new stipulations are thought to apply to single cases such as the one involving Everton, rather than deeper investigations into the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea – after Pep Guardiola’s side discovered a date of Autumn 2024 for their trial over 115 alleged financial breaches.<\/p>\n
