According to financial analyst Stefan Borson, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider, he is “very surprised” that the hearing for that matter hasn’t yet taken place.
Following two separate spending violations, Everton was punished eight points by the Premier League last season.
An dispute about the club’s capitalization of the new stadium interest was postponed by the independent commission that monitored the second case because it was deemed too complicated to hear at the time.
As a result, Everton would have to attend another hearing later this year. The Liverpool Echo reported on November 20 that the issue has not yet been settled.
Should the ruling be against Sean Dyche, their 2021–22 and 2022–23 financial violations would be far greater than initially estimated, possibly resulting in another point loss.
The Everton case will affect the PSR figures from the previous season.
Borson explained that the deduction would also impact their 2023–24 Profit and Sustainability (PSR) calculations, as Premier League rules permit a maximum loss of £105 million over a rolling three-year period.
He told Football Insider, “Considering the timeline, this situation is likely to stretch beyond January, and with an appeal, it could drag on for a significant amount of time.”
The Premier League’s problem is that some of the fallout from the Everton case regarding interest affects the 2023–24 season’s calculations.
Since this case regarding interest has not yet been settled, they will need to make choices regarding 2023-24 PSR in January, which might lead to a situation where nobody is truly certain whether Everton is okay with regard to 2023-24.
“I’m shocked it’s still happening. As you recall, everything was tabled in April.
Although it appears to be the case, I am somewhat astonished that they have not held the hearing.
Unless the case is abandoned, I believe it will have repercussions. It’s possible that the goal is to end the lawsuit and let everyone move on.
Indeed, I believe Everton supporters are reaching a stage where they fervently desire that to be the case and believe it is justifiable in light of everything they have endured.
“But we are in limbo because there is currently no indication that the Premier League has dropped the case either.”
