The Toffees have appointed Laurence Rabinowitz KC ahead of their appeal. Everton were given the hefty punishment for breaching financial rules around profit and sustainability by an independent commission. But they are fighting the severity of the outcome.
Rabinowitz is regarded as a ‘super silk’ and the move proves Everton’s ambition to tackle the case head-on as the appeal gathers momentum. Everton were handed the sanction in November and it plunged them into a relegation fight.
