Everton have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League regarding a supposed breach of their financial fair play (FFP) rules.

The Toffees are alleged to have broken Premier League regulations by making a losses of beyond £105m over a three year period.

This breach is said to have occurred during the 2021/22 season and was reported at the time by Burnley and Leeds, who were fighting Everton in the battle against relegation. The Clarets were ultimately unable to beat the drop.
