Please, please let the Lingard rumours to Everton  on short term loan deal be true.

Everton boss Sean Dyche, speaking to Sky Sports on Dominic Calvert-Lewin's miss: "We created good chances and particularly one golden chance for Dom.

"I reminded him. He's getting closer. Does he see it it like that? He will do when I ram it down his throat that many times. He'll be like a robot at the end of the week, don't worry."

Interesting managerial style that Dyche has.

Hahaha just waiting for the tweets about "knickers and bras"

Looks like they’re set to be punished again alongside Forest…

Ok I’ll profess to being a bit confused

When it comes to FFP then infrastructure costs aren’t included - so if Everton have broken FFP but it’s because of their new stadium then they shouldn’t be charged

Spurs are £1bn in debt because of their new stadium ffs

Yea I always thought owners could put in as much money as they wanted on infrastructure as it in theory should then help a club increase revenue and rely less heavily on spending money it doesn't have

Doing a bit of digging and apparently costs incurred before the planning stage etc still count

Bitters and Forest Charged

The Premier League has charged Everton and Nottingham Forest with breaching its financial rules.

Both clubs have been referred to an independent commission for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules in their accounts for 2022-23.

Under Premier League regulations, clubs can lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period, or £35m per campaign, before facing sanctions.

Clubs that breach those rules are at risk of a fine or a points deduction.

Everton are currently appealing against a 10-point deduction from a previous charge.

The Premier League said in a statement that Everton and Nottingham Forest "have each confirmed that they are in breach of the league's profitability and sustainability rules".

It added: "This is as a result of sustaining losses above the permitted thresholds for the assessment period ending season 2022-23.

"In accordance with Premier League rules, both cases have now been referred to the chair of the judicial panel, who will appoint separate commissions to determine the appropriate sanction."

The clubs now have 14 days to submit their formal responses, and under league rules the hearings must be concluded within 12 weeks. Appeal hearings must be held before 24 May 2024 and the complaint resolved before 1 June.

Clubs are in breach of profit and sustainability rules (PSR) if their calculation over the relevant period results in a loss in excess of £105m, although that threshold is reduced by £22m for each season a club spends in the Championship over the course of that relevant period.

Nottingham Forest spent two seasons in the Championship within the three-year assessment period, meaning the maximum loss for the club is £61m.

Clubs had to submit their accounts for 2022-23 by 31 December under new rules designed to speed up the reporting process and ensure any penalties were imposed during a season when the alleged transgression took place.

The Premier League had 14 days from the reporting date to inform clubs whether they were in breach or not.

Everton are 17th in the Premier League table and sit just one point above Luton Town, who are in the relegation zone having played a game more, while Nottingham Forest are four points clear of the drop zone in 15th.

Everton 'will continue to defend its position'

Everton have acknowledged the Premier League's decision to refer them to an independent commission for a breach of profit and sustainability rules for the assessment period from the 2019-20 campaign through to the end of the 2022-23 season.

They received an immediate 10-point deduction - the biggest punishment in the Premier League's history - in November after an independent commission found the club's losses to 2021-22 amounted to £124.5m.

Their appeal is due to be heard before the end of this season.

In a statement, Everton said: "The club must now defend another Premier League complaint which includes the very same financial periods for which it has already been sanctioned, before that appeal has even been heard. The club takes the view that this results from a clear deficiency in the Premier League's rules.

"Everton can assure its fans that it will continue to defend its position during the ongoing appeal and, should it be required to do so, at any future commission - and that the impact on supporters will be reflected as part of that process."

Thousands of Everton fans held anti-Premier League protests following the points deduction, while a number of regional politicians raised concerns, including Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram and Mayor for Greater Manchester Andy Burnham.

In a new statement on Monday, Rotherham said he had "grave concerns" about the transparency of the process and that by being potentially penalised twice in the same season Everton are facing "double jeopardy".

He added: "It is not about one club but ensuring that our game is open and fair in its treatment of all clubs.

"It is difficult to see how anybody can have any confidence in a process as opaque as this."

The new charges against Everton come at a time of significant uncertainty for the club.

In September, owner Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to American investment fund 777 Partners.

The takeover has been given the green light by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Football Association (FA), but Everton are awaiting approval from the Premier League.

The club are also in the process of building a new stadium on the banks of the River Mersey at Bramley-Moore Dock, which is due to open in late 2024.

Forest 'confident of a speedy and fair resolution'

Nottingham Forest join Everton and Manchester City as the only top-flight clubs to be charged with breaking profit and sustainability regulations.

City were referred to an independent commission in February 2023 over more than 100 alleged rule breaches between 2009 and 2018.

Since securing promotion from the Championship in May 2022, Forest have spent a reported £250m on new signings.

In September 2022, the club broke the British record for most signings in a single transfer window after welcoming 21 new arrivals.

"Nottingham Forest acknowledges the statement from the Premier League confirming that the club has today been charged with a breach of the league's profitability and sustainability rules," the club said in a statement.

"The club intends to continue to cooperate fully with the Premier League on this matter and are confident of a speedy and fair resolution."

Forest have employed leading sports lawyer Nick de Marco to argue their case, which is thought to centre around the sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham for up to £45m in September.

This took place after the accounting deadline, but Forest argue their negotiating tactics allowed them to generate a higher fee than if they had been forced to sell by 30 June 2023.

Manchester City are the only other club to have been charged by the Premier League for financial breaches, when they were referred to an independent commission over more than 100 alleged rule breaches between 2009 and 2018.

Treble winners City were charged in February 2023 - before Everton's initial charge - and that case is ongoing.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could face further scrutiny from football's authorities over reports of payments connected to the club's former owner Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea were fined £8.6m by European football governing body Uefa in July for "submitting incomplete financial information" between 2012 and 2019 as part of a settlement for breaking Financial Fair Play rules.

Citeh and Chelsea have refused to allow official scrutiny of their financial records to FFP investigators which is no doubt the reason for the delay in bringing action over their cases.
Why can’t Everton and Forest be allowed the same dispensation?

And even as we gave them a small little glimpse of happiness yesterday, their team lets them down again.

Never change Everton

You can always count on them to be continuously sh*t!

Death, taxes and Everton being sh*te....

The constant flow...........

Hahaha cracker mate.

Back in the bottom three after last nights results.

They all like this? What the F**k is wrong with them.

This is beyond Bitter!!

Not all but a lot....I work in Kirkdale and the Everton supporting lads in our office are mostly sound and that mister drone chap who does the weekly update around Anfield is an Evertonian another sound chap, it's only natural when you've been living in the shadows of the biggest club in your city for the last century.

You'd still expect any bitter out there to know the difference between "loose" and "lose" mind.

Fk, didn't even spot that, I was in such disbelief!

I think their doomed, I really can’t see them escaping this time, now don’t start getting the bunting out just yet but needless to say I think it will do them a massive favour going down, and although i wouldn’t want them to do a Leeds dropping down to the Championship will be disastrous for them they have the infrastructure to bounce back, look at Forest, or Brighton both have never looked back albeit it took them a while,

Being a wool I’ll never get the real emotion that exists between Red & Blue, I do with Rangers & Celtic but that’s a whole different dynamic, Liverpool as a City need both clubs, we as fans will take the piss of course that’s all part of the fun, and while it’s great to see them eons behind us, I think we’d all miss this derby days more than most !!

Bitter Banned

A football fan who shouted racist abuse about Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and mocked the Heysel stadium disaster has been banned from matches.

Joel Barwise shouted when Salah's name was announced at Anfield on 21 October before the Merseyside derby.

Everton fan Barwise also made pushing gestures to taunt fans about Heysel, in which 39 fans died in a crush before the 1985 European Cup final.

He was handed a three-year banning order at Sefton Magistrates' Court.

The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to racially or religiously aggravated harassment causing alarm or distress by words or writing.

Barwise, of Bentham Drive in Childwall, Liverpool, was also fined £500.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said he was spotted by a match steward shouting racist abuse and making the other gestures.

Merseyside Police identified him from CCTV and he was later arrested.

The CPS said he initially claimed it was a case of mistaken identity before later admitting he was responsible.

Asked why he had done it, Barwise said: "Because I'm an idiot."

His banning order means he cannot attend any football match in the UK over that time.

When international matches are being staged abroad, Barwise must surrender his passport.

He also cannot go within a mile of any Everton match, home or away, or within a mile of Liverpool Lime Street station on matchdays, the CPS said.

Senior crown prosecutor Angela Conlan described his behaviour as "disgraceful".

She said: "Joel Barwise no doubt thinks of himself as a loyal Everton fan but his actions bring shame to his club.

"He made fun of a tragic football disaster and shouted racist abuse when a key Liverpool player's name was announced."

Liverpool won the game 2-0 with Salah scoring both goals.
