EXCLUSIVE: Premier League introduce new rule following Everton's FFP charges last season that will see clubs with a recent history of overspending submit their accounts THREE MONTHS earlier than the rest of the top flight

The Premier League have introduced a new rule following Everton’s Financial Fair Play charges last season which compels clubs with a recent history of overspending to submit their accounts three months before the rest of the top flight.

Under Rule E.48 clubs who are forecasting losses must file audited accounts to the Premier League by December 31 rather than the standard March 31 deadline.

The new regulation is an attempt by the Premier League to ensure that any disciplinary cases arising from alleged breaches of FFP rules are dealt with before the end of the same season.

Several clubs complained to the Premier League about Everton's charges not being heard by the end of last season, thus enabling them to avoid a potential points deduction and escape relegation.

Everton have denied any wrongdoing and vowed to robustly defend themselves at an independent commission later this year, but other clubs have been openly sceptical of their protestations of innocence.


As revealed by Mail Sport, Southampton, Leicester, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Burnley wrote to the Premier League at the end of last season arguing that they should be entitled to share compensation of up to £300million if Everton are subsequently found guilty of breaching spending rules, as well as warning the Premier League that they could become party to the dispute.

The Premier League have responded promptly with a rule change intended to help resolve cases quicker and reduce the potential for acrimony between clubs, which has been a long-running feature of the Everton saga.

The Merseyside club infuriated many of their rivals by escaping FFP charges for the 2021/22 season despite recording losses of £371.8m for the three-year accounting period when the Premier League limit is £105m, but were subsequently charged with a rule breach for the next three-year period in March 2023.

The Premier League’s disciplinary hearing is not due to take place until October however so any points deduction in the event of a guilty verdict would apply to this season, a situation which other clubs deem to be unsatisfactory.

The new accounting rules will only apply to clubs who have an aggregated loss on their Adjusted Earnings for the previous two years, which based on recent results could include Everton, Chelsea and Wolves.

[ScubaSteve]

Let’s hope any point deduction this season will be enough to send them down. So far 1 played and 1 loss…good start

[Kennys from heaven]

Excellent news! that means Abu Dhabi can refuse to submit their records earlier.

The young man who sadly lost his life yesterday on the BMD build has been named as Michael Jones from Kirkby. A lifelong Everton fan too.

RIP Michael. 💙

I expect Everton will mark his passing somewhere on the BMD site. It's the sort of thing they do well.

I think we can probably forego the piss taking for a couple of days in light of the recent tragedy at their new ground, RIP.

As I said in the other thread, Michael was a friend of a friend. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but he was lovely lad by all accounts and my heart breaks for his family, friends and co-workers.

There was lots of Chinese whispers and WhatsApp messages going around yesterday before anyone really had a clue who'd been hurt, I'm sure most others who live and work in the area experienced the same thing. It turns out some of his family members were in some of these WhatsApp groups and had to see unpleasant stuff, not knowing that unpleasant stuff was about their relative. I wish people would take a bit more care with this stuff.

Yes, Everton have always been respectful, we do the same

Tragic. Big love to his family, friends, loved ones and colleagues.

Maybe it's because of where I am in my life, with a son of my own, but I got to thinking how proud, how made up he would have been as an Evertonian to be working on BMD. He probably thought about rocking up there with his children and being able to say "I had a part in building that". And now that future has been so tragically taken away from him.

Bless his soul and RIP

I passed BMD last night and doffed my imaginary cap to the poor fella. Similar thoughts to yours passed through my mind at the time. He'd have been so proud being part of that build. Imagine being able to show his future family which bricks he laid or which roof beam he helped assemble.

My Dad helped build the Buckets Fountain in Beetham Plaza, Liverpool city centre. It went up in 1967. I remember him taking a very young me down there to show me. He was proud, and I was proud of him too. My Dad did that. So I can see how proud this avid Blue would have been to be part of building part of the very fabric of his club.

I never knew Michael Jones, but his loss has still touched me. I feel for all those who knew and loved him. 💙

I’ll do the same when I go past next time. A truly awful thing to happen and heartfelt sympathy to Michael’s friends, family and colleagues. I hope they commemorate him somehow because it may help his family in some small, but significant way.

Nice story about bucket fountain. I remember as a kid, my grandad taking me to see it, I was fascinated. I’d actually forgotten where it was in town and only rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Only went past a few weeks ago.

RIP Michael  condolences to family and loved ones .

That was good stuff.

Well done to all.

RIP Michael ☹️

Sad news and a timely reminder, if needed, about the risks inherent on large scale projects.

I worked in Wallasey and would often walk past the memorial at Seacombe to the nine men who died building the Kingsway Tunnel and gave me pause about the dangers faced by construction workers.

I thought that was a decent summation by Wilson. Next weekend is a massive fixture for them. On paper, they had a favourable early season fixture list but failing to beat this Wolves side at home could have ramifications later on.

Some of the comments under it  from those in denial are crazy

[Broad Spectrum]

I thought Rafa was the problem…?

[kaesarsosei]

This is it lads. The turds are circling the bowl and will finally flush this season.

[MrGrumpy]

I thought Rafa was the problem…?

Dyche is as good a manager as they will get. If he cannot get a tune out of these no marks, you have to fear for them.

[JRed]

I wonder if the bitters are still happy they stayed up?
They could e enjoyed a thrilling 1-0 win against Rotherham this weekend instead of this battering!

[ScubaSteve]

No chance are these going down, when you have the likes of Sheff United, Luton and Burnley going up

[Chakan]

They won't go down, there will undoubtedly be 3 teams worse than them.

[Jean Girard]

They are just the best aren't they. I love them.  No matter how hungover you are, no matter how much pain you feel, no matter how little food you have in the house when all you want is a simple toasted cheese and ham sandwich. The blues will never fail to make you feel great about your life.

I don't them to ever go down. I want them to finish 17th forever.

[Son of Spion]

I love when that happens. You just browse online to see if there are any games today, and you find out the Shite are playing and are losing 4-0. 

Super Sunday, indeed.

[Red Beret]

As usual for me, whether they go down is irrelevant. They certainly deserve to, but enjoying a season of Evertonians bricking themselves for 38 games is bags of fun.

[4pool]

Goals scored 0 this season.

[Ghost Town]

Is this the earliest that the Ev have been in the bottom 3?

[rafathegaffa83]

Grim stuff from them, compounded by the fact they've likely lost Iwobi and Calvert-Lewin for at least a month.

[CraigDS]

So, they've not improved then

[Ghost Town]

Grim stuff from them, compounded by the fact they've likely lost Iwobi and Calvert-Lewin for at least a month.

They won't harp on about injuries though, plenty of other clubs doing that

[rafathegaffa83]

Is this the earliest that the Ev have been in the bottom 3?

They were in the bottom three after two games last season as well

[Ghost Town]

They were in the bottom three after two games last season as well

Ah thanks. Dang! I thought we had another record for them
