Why Everton are confident of avoiding Premier League points deduction after losses revealed

Everton believe they have comfortable headroom regarding the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations after the club published their latest set of accounts on Tuesday. The Blues recorded a loss of £120.9m for the year ending 30th June 2021.

However, despite another year with a daunting figure in terms of headline losses, Everton have been in constant and pro-active discussions with the Premier League for a significant amount of time over their finances. The club, therefore, are very confident that they not only fall below the £105m threshold over the last three seasons, but that they have significant headroom - although an official figure would not be confirmed in this sense.

The Premier League offer numerous "add-backs" as part of their regulations, including measures taking into account the impact of Covid-19 over the course of the last few years. Losses of at least £170m, potentially rising to £220m, can be attributed to the pandemic in Everton's case over the course of the last two years - with £103m of that in the financial year ending in 2021.
