Everton Football Club has been referred for a second time by the Premier League for an alleged breach of financial rules, and a second sanction could seriously jeopardize the club's future. Mike Amesbury MP has written to Everton outlining his concerns. The club also faces a potential third Premier League points deduction for breaking financial rules next season. In response, the Everton Fan Advisory Board has sent a 'witness statement' to the appeals board, claiming that other clubs have breached PSR with fewer consequences and that Everton is being unfairly punished for investing in a stadium that will benefit the community. Meanwhile, Stefan Borson, an ex-MCFC financial adviser, has warned that Manchester City could face relegation if found guilty of their financial charges, describing the situation as on a 'completely different level'.

“There’s no question, if those charges are proven, this will end in at least relegation!” 😱 “The scale is on a completely different level!” Ex #MCFC financial adviser, Stefan Borson, claims City will be relegated if guilty of charges. https://t.co/VoT0fso0y2
Palace may feel some vindication in their approach to running the club given they didn't breach PSR But you don't have to break rules to avoid standing still & football that lacks entertainment Can't please everyone, but middle ground exists #CPFC https://t.co/d5WibOTihn
It is certainly concerning that @Everton have been referred for a second time by the Premier League due to an alleged breach of financial rules. This second sanction will put the club’s future at serious risk. I’ve written to them outlining my concerns. https://t.co/fiuf22cge3
