Everton FFP verdict delivered as 'clear deficiency' in Premier League charge is raised

Everton have been charged for a second time by the Premier League for breaches under the top-flight's Profit and Sustainability Regulations.

The Goodison Park club were formally notified of new allegations after a review of their accounts for the football financial year that ended last summer. Everton now have a fortnight to respond to the accusations, which are expected to end up before an independent commission that will aim to assess the case before the end of this season.

And what do you think about Manchester City's FFP saga in relation to how Everton are being treated? And the big one - can the Blues stay in the Premier League amid all the off-field frustration?
