The Premier League will ‘adjust the prize money share’ for top clubs as a result of the Everton points deduction controversy.

Everton has been fined 10 points, the most severe penalty ever imposed on a Premier League side, for violating Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

Under Premier League rules, clubs can lose up to £105 million over three years.

Everton were found to have exceeded this sum of £19.5 million and were promptly docked 10 points. The Toffees are now four points off the bottom of the Premier League, trailing just bottom side Burnley on goal difference.

Everton has already stated that they want to appeal the judgment.

Burnley, Leeds United, and Leicester City have all indicated their intention to sue Everton, with the Merseyside club facing up to £300 million in damages.

The Telegraph reports that the Premier League’s biggest teams are expected to receive a larger share of prize money, which might lead to further squabbles amongst clubs.

Under the Premier League’s current 1.6 to one prize money ratio, treble champions Manchester City earned an estimated £161.3m last season, while bottom-placed Southampton received £100.3m.

However, beginning with the 2025-26 season, the system will be worth possibly tens of millions of dollars more to the best clubs under a revised 1.8 to one ratio.

The shift is stated to be ‘dictated by international growth in league revenue’ as well as the Consumer Price Index, albeit rising rates of inflation’mean a more favourable rate for smaller clubs next season’.

The reforms could be debated on Tuesday, when clubs are scheduled to convene to vote on the so-called New Deal For Football, which would modify the way money is distributed across the sport.

City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are claimed to be ‘at differences’ with the other Premier League teams over the terms of a financial arrangement with their lower league counterparts.

Meanwhile, Everton is not the only Premier League club under scrutiny due to FFP laws.

Manchester City has been punished with 115 Premier League rule violations, while Chelsea is being investigated for possible financial irregularities between 2012 and 2019.

It has been suggested that if both clubs are found guilty, they might face a points deduction or perhaps relegation.
