Everton hit with brand new £104m PSR problem

Everton are now poised to deal with a brand new PSR problem, immediately after dodging punishment for their financial performance last season

The Toffees are believed to have recouped around £20m from the sales of Ben Godfrey and Lewis Dobbin. The latter deal cause controversy, with some quarters believing that the PSR-busting quasi-swap deal the club engineered with Nottingham Forest was against the spirit of the rules.

But Everton were in a desperate situation having been hit with two separate points deductions in 2023-24 as a result of monumental year-on-year losses.

Dan Friedkin, who is currently in exclusive talks with Farhad Moshiri to buy the club, will have to deal with legacy of those losses when his premiership on Merseyside begins.

And in the short term, Everton’s PSR issues could actually be about to get a whole lot worse.
