Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has used Everton as an example while raising questions about Manchester City's long-running Premier League financial case. Writing on X, Maguire contrasted alleged disguised sponsorship sums in City's case with internal asset transactions recently utilized by Everton, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, questioning whether internal asset sales would have breached rules.
