Everton have been charged with an alleged breach of breaking Financial Fair Play rules in the Premier League - with the top-flight's head honcho's set to issue an independent commission to look into any potential wrongdoing.
The Toffees are one of just six Premier League ever-presents, having been one of the dominating sides south of the border in the 1980's and beyond. Their status in the top-flight has looked precarious for the past couple of seasons, with survival only confirmed on the penultimate day of the season in the 2021/22 campaign.
They are right back in the mix this year, sitting just two points clear of the drop zone having played two games more than 18th-placed West Ham. Sean Dyche's side have been the blueprint for how not to spend money under new, rich ownership - having spent lavishly on flops such as Gylfi Sigurdsson, Cenk Tosun, Yannick Bolasie and more since the arrival of tycoon Farhad Moshiri in 2016, the Merseyside club have had to watch their money carefully with hardly any return on investment.
