The Premier League has brought in new rules to fast-track financial disciplinary cases following anger among clubs that Everton’s charge was not dealt with last season.
The new regulations say the process for any club charged with a standard financial rule breach must be completed within 12 weeks, including an appeal, so that any points deductions apply to the season in which the rule breach takes place.
Only the “most exceptional cases” will not be covered by the new deadline – such as multiple alleged breaches over multiple years, as in Manchester City’s charges of 115 rule breaches in February.
The rules mean any club this season that breaks the top flight’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR), which restrict losses over three seasons to £105
