Everton have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League over an alleged breach of financial fair play rules.

The Premier League did not reveal the specifics of the club's rule breach, other than saying it occurred in the period ending with the 2021-22 season.

However, Everton have posted financial losses in several recent seasons.

The Toffees denied wrongdoing and said they are "prepared to robustly defend" their position.

In their statement, Everton added: "The club strongly contests the allegation of non-compliance and together with its independent team of experts is entirely confident that it remains compliant with all financial rules and regulations.

"The club has, over several years, provided information to the Premier League in an open and transparent manner and has consciously chosen to act with the utmost good faith at all times."

In March 2022, Everton announced losses of £120.9m for the 2020-21 season.

That meant losses over a period of three years totalled £372m, while Premier League rules only allowed that figure to be £105m.

There needs to be a cap on how much money all Football clubs are allowed to spend to avoid this from happening, or at least trying to avoid it.

I feel bad for the fans and the staff at the club (including the players) as they're going to be punished (possibly) for something that the owners have done.

that's what you get when you have too much money and spend too much money





proud of myself to support Fortuna Sittard and also to some extent FC Volendam, smaller budgets but still capable of buying, loaning quality players for cheap prices

we all know everton deserve a harsh punishment

I've always said, once fingers start getting pointed, there will be very few clubs that have not breached the rules
