Everton could be facing more legal challenges from teams that are relegated if they are subjected to a third points deduction in connection to stadium costs this summer, as suggested by financial expert Kieran Maguire. The decision of the Premier League to postpone a third hearing concerning Everton’s ongoing dispute over £24 million in stadium expenses might lead to additional lawsuits being brought against the club. The persistent argument between Everton and the Premier League revolves around the exclusion of interest fees from the club’s PSR calculations, sparking tension and uncertainty. With the hearing now slated for the summer, any potential penalties or sanctions are likely to impact the 2024-25 season, potentially influencing relegation outcomes and igniting legal action from clubs such as Leeds United, Burnley, and Leicester who have already hinted at pursuing Everton for breaches of financial regulations. Maguire expressed disappointment at the delay, emphasizing the importance of timely decisions and how the postponement could undermine the credibility and fairness of the Premier League. The unpredictability and ramifications of the situation could result in a ripple effect of lawsuits from teams affected by relegation, further complicating an already contentious issue within the footballing community.
