On Wednesday (4 September), it was reported online that Everton will not be required to pay the full £4.9 million in legal costs from last season’s Profit and Sustainability Rules case.
However, the club remains entangled in another legal dispute with the Premier League.
This ongoing case centers on whether Everton can exclude £6.6 million in interest payments related to their new stadium from their PSR calculations.
The £4.9 million figure does not include the costs associated with this current case.
If Everton loses, they could face an additional points deduction by the Premier League.

While it’s often said that every cloud has a silver lining, this doesn’t seem to apply to Everton’s situation.
The atmosphere around Goodison Park is dominated by dark clouds, with no silver lining in sight.
Although the club won’t have to cover the full legal costs from last season’s case, they’re now facing new legal challenges that could lead to additional financial burdens.
The ongoing legal battles between Everton and the Premier League appear to be far from resolution, leaving supporters anxious for an end to the turmoil.
The constant threat of points deductions is hindering Everton’s progress and may also be affecting potential takeover opportunities.
Fans can only hope that this latest legal conflict with the Premier League will be the final chapter in this ongoing saga.
