Latest News: A new Everton rule violation update is available ahead of the scheduled Monday development at Goodison Park.
According to the Liverpool ECHO, Everton will not benefit from having already been sanctioned if they are found guilty of new profit and sustainability violations.
The news site said on 14 January that teams can face prosecution for several years, implying that Everton will receive no protection after already receiving a ten-point deduction for violating Premier League spending restrictions.
Everton and Nottingham Forest are due to be informed on Monday (15 January) that they have been found in breach, according to Athletic journalist David Ornstein.
According to the Liverpool ECHO, any suspected violation will be dealt with during the current season, with any punishment – including a points deduction – being applied to the current season.
Everton’s issue is complicated by probable violations of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability criteria.
The Toffees are already under scrutiny and pressure after being awarded a brutal ten-point deduction punishment in the Premier League, and they could face even more with this new development.
Farhad Moshiri’s financial problems, incompetence, and a new stadium project at Bramley-Moore Dock are likely to be connected to their vulnerability to a second accusation.
The perceived unfairness occurs when comparing Everton’s case to Manchester City’s, who faced over 100 charges in February and have yet to receive a resolution – which is extremely perplexing.
Everton and Nottingham Forest are also involved in this saga, and it will be interesting to see how both clubs react and resist any new punishments.
Given the penalties already meted out to the Toffees, what else can the club do to avert this? They are already collaborating with the Premier League, which may not be as beneficial as previously imagined.
In other Everton news, a player linked with the club is in advanced talks to join Sheffield United in the January transfer window.
