According to The Esk, the latest commission hearing judgement puts Everton and the Premier League at risk of legal challenges over the relegation struggle.

On April 8, the Toffees blogger reacted on Twitter to the news that the club had been stripped of two more points. However, the club still faces another hearing to settle the ongoing dispute with the league over whether the costs of the new stadium build should be counted for profit and sustainability purposes.

The same commission is set to meet and rule on that at a later date, with additional penalty potentially being applied, but it can’t be dealt with using the expedited method and will stretch beyond the end of the season [BBC Sport, 8 April]. The Esk has highlighted the possibility of legal battles between the sides in the future if the situation changes.

He wrote: “So PL’s position on the capitalization of interest costs will not be determined until after the season is over. A change of decision after the season ends may expose all parties to legal action if another team gets demoted as a result of this decision, which is then later changed.”

Everton problem becomes more difficult following points deduction.

It’s astonishing how each solution in the Toffees saga raises new questions and uncertainties.

Despite the Premier League revising the regulations to consider punishments imposed inside a single campaign as a breach, Everton nevertheless faced two in one season.

Everton and the league faced criticism from Leeds United, Burnley, Leicester City, Southampton, and Nottingham Forest due to an infringement last season, which was not sanctioned until after the relegation battle was over.

Everton may conceivably be at the core of several legal disputes.

It’s unclear if the threat has been removed or is still being addressed discreetly. However, a comparable situation involving this season’s relegation rivals would be detrimental to all parties concerned.

Forest have since been charged and punished in the top flight, while the relegated Foxes face penalties in both the Premier League and the Championship, and whether this has reduced their desire to take action against Everton or not, it demonstrates how bad the overall financial situation in English football is.

And leaving one of the fundamental points central to the Toffees PSR violations, interest payments on stadium construction loans, unresolved by a commission that has issued only half a ruling, renders the expedited process pointless.

Everton may face a third points punishment and potentially a fourth for breaking the current rules for the third time in a row, despite the fact that those rules are no longer in effect and will be replaced.
