PREM club chiefs could face points deductions - when League bosses lay formal charges for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules last season. All the clubs who had posted aggregate losses over the previous two seasons had a hard deadline for their 2023-24 accounts on December 31.

Under rules voted in by the clubs in 2023, charges must be then laid by League bosses within 14 days, with the cases dealt with and any punishments imposed before the end of this campaign. Clubs are limited to “allowable losses” - once spending on infrastructure, the youth and women’s teams and community projects is taken off - of a maximum £105m over three seasons, with the limit £22m less for any seasons spent outside the Prem.

Last term, Nottingham Forest were deducted four points for busting their £61m loss limit by £34m. The City Ground club admitted in March that they were on course for PSR losses of between £12m and £17m. That is despite finally being able to include the £47m sale of Brennan Johnson to Spurs in their calculations.

But the previous losses meant they entered the season already £9m OVER their 2023-24 loss limit of £83m. Meanwhile, Everton - who had already been hit with a six point penalty for breaches the previous season - lost two more for posting losses of £16.5m.
