Everton will face no further action for breaching profitability and sustainability rules up to 2023 after the Premier League discontinued its complaint over interest payments related to the club’s new stadium.

Everton were docked 10 points last season for a PSR breach up to 2022, reduced to six points on appeal, plus another two points for admitting a £16.6m overspend up to 2023. However, the club and the Premier League remained in dispute over part of the 2023 charge connected to interest payments on loans taken out for the construction of Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore dock.
