Everton label Premier League rules 'deficient', while Nottingham Forest prepare to base their defence on Brennan Johnson's £47.5m sale to Tottenham...after the two clubs were hit with charges for breaking spending rules

Everton furiously labelled the Premier League’s rules ‘deficient’ after being hit by a second charge on Monday for breaching financial regulations that has left them facing another points deduction this season.

The club, along with Nottingham Forest who have also been charged for similar breaches, have been referred to a second independent commission panel.

Everton have already been docked 10 points this term for a loss of £124.5million in a previous accounting period.

This fresh charge will not be brought before a commission until the appeals process for the original punishment is heard.
