The three clubs who will be watching Everton FFP developments closely after charge confirmed

Three clubs will be watching Everton’s situation closely following the latest Premier League charge.

The Toffees were informed on Monday that they had been charged for a second time for a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability rules. Sean Dyche’s men were deducted 10 points by an independent commission following the first charge last year.

That first charge was relating to the three-year period to the end of the 2021/22 season. It was reported when the club were first charged back in March that their then-relegation rivals Leicester City, Leeds United, Southampton and Nottingham Forest, as well as Burnley, who were relegated the previous season, were all considering a possible legal case to get compensation. Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton were relegated at the end of the season, while Forest have been charged alongside Everton this time around.

Premier League already know Everton response after new FFP charge and points deduction threat

Reports continued to emerge over Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton potentially seeking compensation when the points deduction for Everton was confirmed. The three clubs are expected to keep a close eye on the latest update.

Any potential action on the initial charge has been put on hold as Everton appeals the decision. Action could however be taken should the Toffees be unsuccessful in that appeal.

The latest breaches relate directly to last season when all three clubs were relegated from the Premier League. Everton finished the season in 17th position, two points above the bottom three.

The three relegated clubs could therefore argue that the breaches had an impact on Everton
