There's something about the PL making the City announcement early on a Monday, allowing it to dominate news cycle for the week, and them announcing this one seemingly with an embargo so reporters had articles ready to go for Friday eve.
As others have said, this one is just pure accountancy, and seems pretty cut and dry. Not much to discuss really in terms of did they/didn't they, or ethics or anything. Plus Everton are about the least scrutinised of the medium-sized historic clubs (Villa probably attract more attention).
But in getting this out on a Friday night as if it's nothing too complicated, it's probably fair to say it might ruin a few blues' weekends.
