Everton are likely to use the argument that they should not be punished twice for the same set of accounts when they face their next Premier League charge for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules after seeing their case bolstered by the written reasons an appeal board gave on Monday.
The Merseyside club had a 10-point deduction for failing Financial Fair Play over a period from 2018-2022 reduced to six points on appeal.
However, they have been referred to a second independent commission by the Premier League for their accounts from 2019-2023, with the league yet to tell Everton the scale of their breach. They look set to face a second points deduction in the same season but Everton intend to base some of their case on double jeopardy and say they should not be penalised again for the same offence.
The appeal board described Everton’s breach as “substantial” after recording a loss of £124.5m over the 2018-22 period, £19.5m above the permitted threshold, which it determined gave them “a significant sporting advantage” that required a deduction “to be fair to other Premier League clubs”.
