Everton fears emerge over calculation system for new potential financial breach – Paul Joyce
There are fears Everton could be in trouble again with the Premier League if the same calculation system is used for their upcoming 2022/23 accounts, according to The Times journalist Paul Joyce.
Writing on The Times website on 1 December, Joyce reported that the Blues are preparing to submit their next set of accounts to the Premier League before the end of the month.
It is understood that “straightforward breaches of financial rules will be fast-tracked”, meaning that if there are any irregularities with this set of accounts, it could lead to another points deduction this season.
More trouble on the horizon?
Let’s face it, if Everton have had issues with their accounts over the last few years then what’s to say there will be more issues that crop up in this set.
If there are, the Premier League might end up being even tougher as it’ll be a repeated offence by the Blues.
We’ve just got to hope that there’s nothing wrong with the accounts but we’re worried because of Joyce reporting that there are fears the club is “sailing close to the wind”.
Everton are in a relegation battle due to the 10-point deduction being imposed on the club last month.
Luton and Bournemouth have shown that the weaker teams in the division can still pick up points and this weekend, Burnley and Sheffield United play one another so there’ll be at least two more points being added to those in the relegation mix.
Everton’s trip to Nottingham Forest doesn’t look too daunting on paper and we’ve done well on our travels this season so hopefully we can win it and move into a better position.
