Everton chiefs are set to face a grilling from shareholders in a meeting on December 11, with the EFC Shareholders’ Association demanding to ask the club how they got into the mess of financial breaches and why previous board members have not been held accountable.

The club were charged by the Premier League and referred to an independent commission for breaching its stringent financial rules on profit and sustainability. Everton were ultimately docked 10 points, a decision in which they will lodge an official appeal against by the end of play on Friday. 

Everton initially denied any wrongdoing on their behalf but later admitted their guilt.

They were found to be £19.5million over the threshold for what Premier League clubs can lose in the period, with the two parties disagreeing over which losses were permissible under PSR rules.

And now the EFC Shareholders’ Association is primed to directly ask difficult questions to the club on how they ended up in such a precarious financial position, why previous board members have not been held accountable and also their future plans. A meeting is set for December 11.

Everton fans will continue to protest the deduction for their trip to Nottingham Forest

Everton fans will continue to protest the 10-point deduction, which they say is a ‘disproportionate’ punishment for their technical breaches, and have more ‘Premier League corrupt’ placards ready for the away match at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Fans have also printed banners that read ‘the Master of corruption’ – with the face of Premier League supremo Richard Masters – and ‘The Super League sly six got £22million as a gesture of goodwill’, a nod to how six clubs received a meagre fine for trying to form the Super League.

The Toffees will be without influential midfielder Amadou Onana for the trip to Nottingham, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin a doubt after struggling with a tight calf. If Calvert-Lewin failed a fitness test, it would open the door for Portuguese forward Beto, who is fit again after a minor knock.
