Everton fans will be desperate to hear the end of the financial constraints of the Premier League.

However, it looks as if PSR is set to remain around for at least another year with the Premier League delaying their revised regulations by a further year.

PSR will remain in the Premier League for the 2025/26 campaign, and then potential new rules will be put in place.

A number of clubs across the Premier League are eagerly awaiting the new set of regulations.

David Moyes was shocked by how PSR affected Everton in the January transfer window with only one loan signing coming in through the doors.

And it seems the decision to keep PSR in place for another season could actually come at great expense to Everton.

Everton could be hit by £20m PSR blow

The Friedkins hope for a big financial boost at Everton when they move into their new state-of-the-art stadium over the summer.

Bramley-Moore Dock is expected to unlock a door of new possibilities for the Toffees financially.

However, speaking on TalkSPORT, finance expert Stefan Borson has suggested the PSR extension may have a huge effect on Everton.

“What it also means, and this one is going to be quite interesting to certain clubs, if Man City ultimately succeed in APT and it transpires that it is lawful to look retrospectively at shareholder loans for previous years, all of a sudden a team like Everton are going to have a very big increase in their losses,” said Borson.

“Because they’re going to have attached to their PSR calculation an additional interest that could be as much as £20m a year, based on the historic period before the Friedkins’ takeover.

“What that would mean is they would then be in severe trouble for hitting PSR going forward. Now, I’m sure they would make mitigating rules, but that’s the unintended consequence of what City are trying to do in terms of bringing in shareholder loans.”

Everton are expecting a brighter future without PSR worries, however, this may well have put a real spanner in the works.

Just as the Friedkins look to really push the club on, it seems they could be held back once again by the Premier League.

Everton need to increase their revenue

The sponsorship debate between the Premier League and Manchester City ironically comes at a time when Everton may need to find a new main sponsor.

With the move into the new stadium and Premier League football looking likely for next season, this could prove a good time for Everton to bring in a lucrative new deal.

Everton are also in talks over a pre-season trip to the United States, which could also provide a healthy boost to the club’s revenue stream.

Considering the Toffees may well be hit by another PSR setback, according to Borson, the Merseyside club are going to have to find ways of preventing any major damage being done to their finances.
