“BREAKING: Stefan Borson Drops SHOCKING new Update on Everton’s Points Deduction. You won’t believe what happens next
Everton are still awaiting a resolution to their profit and sustainability (PSR) case, with the hearing for their capitalisation issue yet to take place. Finance expert Stefan Borson, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested that the club might face delays due to the unavailability of Adam Lewis KC, the Premier League’s leading barrister, who is currently focused on the Manchester City charges case.
Last season, Everton were hit with an eight-point deduction after being charged by the Premier League for breaching spending rules on two occasions. In the second case, the independent commission delayed a decision on whether the club could capitalise on the interest from its new stadium loans, deeming the issue too complex to address at that time. As a result, Everton will face a further hearing later this year. The Liverpool Echo reported on November 20 that the matter remains unresolved.
If the outcome is unfavorable for Sean Dyche’s side, their financial breaches for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons could be deemed more severe than initially expected, possibly leading to another points deduction. Borson warned that the decision could take between four to eight weeks once the hearing is held.
“The article in the Liverpool Echo suggests the hearing hasn’t taken place yet,” Borson said. “We’ll eventually get the decision, as it’s an independent commission, but it may take time. After a hearing, it usually takes at least four to eight weeks for a decision to be reached. Given the complexity of the case, which involves the attribution of loans and stadium interest, it could take even longer for the commission to make its determination.”
Borson also noted that part of the delay could be due to the involvement of Premier League counsel, including Adam Lewis KC, in the ongoing Manchester City case, which could cause scheduling conflicts. This means the hearing might not occur until after the City case concludes, potentially extending the process well into the new year and leaving room for further appeals.
In other news, Sean Dyche is reportedly facing renewed pressure over his position as Everton manager, amid developments related to the club’s ongoing takeover talks.
