Everton will have every right to question the Premier League after it was revealed their financial accounts were late.

The Toffees have certainly recovered well since, but many still remember back in 2023 when they were deducted points for an alleged breach of the PSR rules.

PSR limits permitted losses of up to £105million over three years, with the Merseysiders having been found to have exceeded the limit by £19.5m.

However, that still led to a lot of frustration, especially when taking into account how lightly other clubs seemingly managed to get off, despite much stricter breaches.

And all of these scenarios have been made to look even worse by the Premier League's own inability to abide by financial rules.

Premier League's financial accounts overdue

Just as each club has a deadline to release its own financial accounts, the Premier League also has a responsibility to release its own.

And as highlighted by Kieran Maguire via X, their latest accounts now appear to be overdue.

You would have thought that with all the points deductions and fines handed out by the Premier League that their own financial house would be in order. Think again as according to Companies House their accounts are overdue. I wonder what they have to hide! Surely with all those… pic.twitter.com/MYjAcXjbJw

As for the reason behind the supposed delay, that remains unknown, though a handful of supporters from the Premier League have speculated that it could have something to do with the ongoing disciplinary cases regarding Chelsea and Man City.

Nevertheless, it's a mess from those in charge, especially when taking into account how hard they come down on clubs for such minor offences.

What is the latest on Man City charges?

Pep Guardiola's side are still awaiting a verdict on the 115 charges that were brought against them by the Premier League.

City have stood strong on their stance that they have done nothing wrong, and have denied all allegations aimed at them.

But with that still ongoing, and now it appearing as though the Premier League's accounts are overdue, it is one big mess that just amplifies the frustration of Everton supporters after what they had gone through.
