Kieran Maguire: ‘Ambitious’ Everton will love new financial regulations
The Everton board will be in favour of changing financial regulations after the latest Premier League meeting.
That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that the Toffees will be more competitive in the Premier League under new rules.All 20 Premier League clubs met last week to discuss replacing the current Profit and Sustainability Rules in place.

Maguire believes the Everton board will be in favour of the changes as they are a ‘aspirational’ club.“I suspect Everton will be in favour of the change as they are an ambitious and aspirational club,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.“Under the existing PSR rules of the Premier League, anybody that bought a club since 2013 was acquiring an inbuilt disadvantage because the Premier League didn’t index link the allowable losses.“Now, if we take a look at the proposed rules that are going to be linked to revenue – wages can rise if revenue rises.“So then you’ve got automatic index linking, which allows those ambitious clubs to be more competitive against the established elite. “So, intuitively, you would expect Everton to be broadly in favour of this.“
