Everton have stated that they are "disappointed to hear" that the Premier League has decided to refer them to an independent commission over an alleged breach of Financial Fair Play rules.
The Premier League released a statement on Friday afternoon announcing that they had referred Everton to an independent commission following an alleged breach of their Profit and Sustainability rules. Leeds United and Burnley raised concerns at the end of last season over the Toffees accruing £371.8m worth of losses over the last three years - far more than the £105m allowed in the same time frame.
The referral from the league concerns the period ending with the 2021/22 season. Leeds' relegation rivals now find themselves facing a potential fine or even a points deduction should they be found to be in breach of the Profitability and Sustainability rules.
