Leeds United's relegation rivals Everton have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League regarding an alleged breach of Financial Fair Play rules for the period ending with the 2021/22 season.
Leeds and Burnley raised concerns over Everton's handling of £371.8million worth of losses across the last three years at the end of last season, with The Times reporting that a joint letter was submitted by both clubs before the final round of top-flight matches last season.
The concern was surrounding Everton's losses which were well beyond the £105m figure allowed by the Premier League over a three-year spell. No action was taken at the end of last term, but now the Toffees have officially been referred to an independent commission over the alleged breach in relation to the competition's Profitability & Sustainability rules.
