Nottingham Forest and Everton have been referred to an independent commission over an alleged breach of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations.

Sky Sports journalist Alan Myers has shared what the Toffees plan to do as they find the ruling to be unjust.

They have already faced a 10-point deduction earlier in the season and have navigated their way out of the relegation zone.

Via Twitter, Myers wrote: “Everton have been referred to an independent Premier League commission over a further breach of profit and sustainability rules. Everton are assuring its fans that it will continue to defend its position during its ongoing appeal and any further commission hearing.”

Crazy

Everton fans find themselves rightfully frustrated as the club faces an independent commission over an alleged breach of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations.

The situation is compounded by a perceived sense of unfairness when comparing Everton’s circumstances to other clubs, notably Manchester City, who have not faced similar scrutiny.

The 10-point deduction earlier in the season already put Everton in a precarious position and now, with another investigation looming, fans fear the potential for additional points deductions, significantly jeopardising the club’s Premier League status.

The inconsistency in applying these regulations, as observed in the case of Manchester City, adds to the frustration, fueling a sense of injustice among the Goodison Park faithful

With the threat of relegation looming, fans are rightfully concerned about the potential ramifications of the ongoing investigations and the impact on the team’s performance and standing in the league.

The situation underscores the need for transparency and consistency in applying financial regulations across all Premier League clubs.

In other Everton news, a Toffees-linked player is now in advanced talks to secure a move to Sheffield United in the January transfer window.
