Everton to land points deduction? Stefan Borson drops update after £180m+ reveal
Everton have faced profit and sustainability (PSR) issues over the past couple of years following their financial struggles at Goodison Park.
The Merseyside giants were docked eight points last season after being charged by the Premier League for two separate spending breaches, with top-flight clubs only permitted to make £105million of losses over a rolling three-year period.
The independent commission that oversaw the second case postponed an argument over the capitalisation of the new stadium interest by the club after ruling it was too complex to be heard at the time, with a further hearing to take place at a later date.
It was confirmed last month they have now resolved their outstanding PSR issues after the Premier League formally discontinued the second part of the complaint.
However, finance expert Stefan Borson exclusively told Football Insider Everton are still likely to be close to the PSR limit moving forward due to their relatively low revenue.
Deloitte’s 2025 Money League revealed the club’s overall revenue increased from £172million in 2022-23 to £183million last season.
Everton to land ‘£160m’ hit after new update
Borson believes Everton’s wage bill is likely to have been around £155-160million for 2023-24, leaving them little room to play with.
He told Football Insider: “The stadium issue went away.
“The key thing about that is that it had an impact not just in terms of the year in which it was being prosecuted in 2022-23, but it had a knock-on effect going forward.
“Not only would it have made the 2022-23 position worse, but it would have impacted their ability to hit the target for 2023-24 and this current season as well, so it’s a brilliant win for them.
“We always thought if that went with them, they would have done the dealing they needed to do in June to make sure they didn’t breach for 2023-24.
“But it would have been close, so they would have entered this season at effectively for the prior three years at -£105million.
“Therefore, when you look at the revenue, it was a tiny bit less than most people’s forecast at £183million.
“At £183million and having hit £105million in the prior season, we know they are going to be close on PSR going forward each year.
“If they are doing £183million turnover, this is a club that’s got a wage bill of about £155-160million, so there is not a lot to play with right now.”
Everton to undergo ‘massive’ rebuild after contract update
The Merseysiders had a relatively quiet January transfer window after only strengthening their side with the loan signing of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz from Flamengo.
The window prompted disappointment from some fans, who may have been expecting a more comprehensive overhaul of the squad after The Friedkin Group’s takeover.
Borson previously told Football Insider Everton are set to undergo a “massive” rebuild due to the number of players out of contract at the end of this season.
David Moyes has drastically turned the club’s fortunes around on the pitch in recent weeks after winning four of his opening six Premier League matches, taking his side up to 14th in the table.
