Everton have made a profit and sustainability (PSR) move as new documents have been revealed at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Chelsea sold their women’s team to owners BlueCo last summer for around £200million, helping them turn their previous £90million loss for 2022-23 into a £128million profit for 2023-24.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa completed the last-ditch sale of their women’s team earlier this summer, helping them raise funds before their accounting deadline on 30 June.
Everton were previously docked eight points after breaching the PSR rules, with Premier League clubs only permitted to make £105million worth of losses over a rolling three-year period.
The Times reported on 28 July Everton have sold their women’s team to a parent company in a move that should generate a paper profit of tens of millions of pounds that could help the club make new signings and still comply with the PSR rules.

Everton Football Club Women Limited’s annual confirmation statement to Companies House on 14 August confirmed all three issued shares in the women’s team were held by EFCW Holding Company Limited, which is 100 per cent owned by Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited.

The Merseysiders’ revenue increased from £172million in 2022-23 to £187million in 2023-24, while their losses dropped from £89million to £53million across the same period.
“As we said, there’s the Chelsea loophole, that’s what Aston Villa have done, other clubs are doing it.
“The Goodison thing only makes it a better deal and it’s a smart way to do it, so I do expect it to be a PSR play and I think that will come out in Everton’s favour as we look at this transaction going forward.”
