Paragraphs from BBC article…

“Everton say that Covid-19 losses over the past two seasons amount to £170m, which can be deducted from their total.

But that figure has caused surprise among some Premier League teams because it dwarfs clubs of a similar size

Earlier this week, Newcastle posted Covid-19 losses of £40m over the past two seasons, while Aston Villa said theirs amounted to £56m.”

So, not sure it is a case of them having this FY to balance the books… they are making obvious bull**** claims to mask they have overspent, so I wouldn’t rule it out.

Hopefully we can stir the pot and mention that if other clubs aren’t following the rules then we can expect the same response 😉
