Following their second PSR breach, Everton has already made their most significant acquisition.

When Everton had their first run-in with the Premier League’s financial authorities, they were cooperative and honest.

They managed all of their transfers through them for years, only to have that trust betrayed by them in November of last year.

They haven’t been nearly so nice, though, as they were just found guilty of purported breaches once more yesterday.

They have no intention of working together and no qualms about launching their club’s entire power against the regulatory body. After all, few could contest their sincere belief that they are being mistreated.

And so, rumors started to circulate that they had finally chosen KC Laurence “super silk” Rabinowitz to lead their appeal, presumably in an attempt to strengthen a legal team that is about to face an extremely difficult battle.

Laurence Rabinowitz: who is he?

Described by The Times as ‘one of the UK’s top barristers’, Rabinowitz’s appointment highlights the importance that the Toffees have already placed on winning this latest trial.

The fact that it came just a week before this latest bombshell is also indicative that Everton might have expected this outcome.

As a lawyer who specialises in commercial litigation, arbitration, banking and finance, company law, competition and professional liability, he is expected to play a huge role in any legal success earned in the coming months.

In fact, that aforementioned report even suggests that his capture is seen as a huge coup by the club, set to rival Manchester City’s Lord Pannick KC.

Even Amadou Onana, who was snagged for a mere £33m and is now being touted for an exit of over £50m after nearly two years of fine performances, cannot compete with the potential importance of this latest signing.

What makes Laurence Rabinowitz a new hire at Everton?

To clear their names, to put it plainly.

Everton has brought in the heavy guns in an attempt to reverse two alleged breaches because they have already spent far too much time, with little result, trying to fight their own battles.

They threw back their faith in the Premier League, hitting them with the biggest points deduction in the history of the top flight, after initially attempting to be straightforward with them by offering up their books and cooperating at every opportunity.

This meeting looks like proof that civil exchanges will cease and that the Toffees’ playing days are over.

Their chances of remaining in the Premier League are now uncertain, and this isn’t due to their on-field exploits.

They need to make sure they have the best personnel to challenge this verdict, and by imitating Manchester City, they may have the winning strategy.

As a knowledgeable and reputable attorney, Rabinowitz is maybe the greatest candidate to save Everton.
