A number of Premier League clubs have made their frustrations clear over Everton's financial charges after a change of stance from the authorities, it has been claimed.
The relegation-threatened Toffees could face a points deduction in relation to alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations. The Merseyside club plan to "strongly contest" the charges, which they deny, with an independent commission due to determine their punishment.
Everton sit 15th in the table after drawing with Chelsea in their last game, but are just two points clear of the relegation zone. A points penalty could be devastating for Sean Dyche's side, but the timing of the news doesn't appear to have sat well with rivals.
