LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Premier League club Everton reported losses of 89.1 million pounds ($112.5 million) in its latest accounts on Sunday.
Its losses for the 2022-23 season went up from 44.7 million pounds in the previous campaign.
The Merseyside club was docked six points earlier this season for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules and is waiting to learn if it will face more punishment for further breaches. Everton is 16th in the 20-team EPL, three points above the relegation zone.
In a statement Everton pointed to the “indefinite suspension of key commercial partnerships” as a factor in the accounts.
In 2022 Everton halted its major sponsorship with companies belonging to Alisher Usmanov, the Russian metals tycoon who has been sanctioned by the European Union. The move came in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
