Everton sell women’s team to parent company to raise funds and ease PSR headache

Everton has sold their women's team to their parent company in a movement with which they can splash the money on new signing sessions and prevent profitability problems.

Records about Companies House, reported for the first time by the Times, show that Everton Football Club Women Ltd has been transferred to a company called Roundhouse Capital Holdings, which is checked by Everton's owner, businessman Dan Friedkin.

Roundhouse was the company that bought the Friedkin Group in December.

Insiders have reportedly said that the move will help ensure that the women's team is an isolated entity that is able to withdraw his own investment from the United States.

However, they accept that it will also help the toffees to meet PSR.

Everton has become the third Premier League side to get the most out of a controversial law with which clubs can sell assets, such as their women's team, to related entities and then record the profit in their PSR calculations.

Chelsea and Aston Villa were the first to benefit from this specific statement.

Both clubs, however, subsequently violated the stricter financial rules of UEFA, who want to prevent teams in this way preventing from moving assets.

According to the Times, the Premier League has strongly insisted that the law is not a Maas in the law because they perform rigorous assessments of real value.

Everton was previously deducted six points for breaking PSR in the 2021-22 campaign and two points for an infringement in 2022-23.

Football financing expert Kieran Maguire said via The Times that Chelsea's eyebrow sale of their ladies team for £ 200 million, ten times their annual income, means that Everton could place a rating of £ 60 million on their own women's side.

The Toffees lost 3-0 to Bournemouth in their opening match Premier League Summer Series, which meant David Moyes a lack of signing sessions this summer.

He said: 'Yes, but let's be honest, they are not just missing players. We have to sign many players and we are very aware that we have to take a number of new players with us.

'I wish we could have had them before because it would have helped us now and helped us prepare them for the team.

“We are fully aware that we came here with a really limited team and figures and also quite a few injuries.”
