Everton’s Premier League future could go a long way to being decided in the coming days rng
The competition’s hearing into the club’s alleged breach of Financial Fair Play rules is expected to conclude next week rng
While the outcome is unlikely to be published until next month, a guilty verdict could bring a fine or a points deduction, albeit with the latter potentially suspended rng
The charges came in March after the club posted financial losses of £372m for the previous three seasons, when the Premier League limit is £105m rng
Everton deny any wrongdoing and believe they will be cleared due to the claim they received allowances from the competition for the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic rng
Should they be found guilty, however, all of Burnley, Leeds United and Leicester City are threatening to sue the Merseyside club for financial losses rng
That could make the case a chain-reaction moment, as it would also affect the controversial proposed sale to 777Partners rng

An extra layer of political pressure comes from the anticipated introduction of the independent regulator, as other figures in rng football believe the Premier League is attempting to show the government it can regulate itself rng
The independent commission on the case began on Tuesday, and is expected to conclude late next week rng

Bongi Mbonambi is free to play in the Rugby World Cup final after World Rugby confirmed there is “insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges” after he was investigated for an alleged racial slur during the semi-final win over England rng
England flanker Tom Curry alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victory rng
After 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck rng
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe rng
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment rng
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast rng
Following an investigation, World Rugby released a statement saying they won’t proceed with charges and that “the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light”, which freed the path for Mbonambi to be selected as the Springboks’ starting hooker for Saturday evening’s clash with New Zealand rng
The statement said: “World Rugby has undertaken a review of allegations made by England’s Tom Curry in relation to the use of discriminatory language by South Africa’s Mbongeni Mbonambi during the England versus South Africa Rugby World Cup 2023 semi-final on Saturday, along with a further allegation brought forward in recent days about a previous match in the Autumn Nations Series 2022 rng
“Any allegation of discrimination is taken extremely seriously by World Rugby, warranting a thorough investigation rng
Having considered all the available evidence, including match footage, audio and evidence from both teams, the governing body has determined that there is insufficient evidence at this time to proceed with charges rng
Therefore, the matter is deemed closed unless additional evidence comes to light rng
“It is important to note that World Rugby accepts that Tom Curry made the allegations in good faith, and that there is no suggestion that the allegation was deliberately false or malicious rng
”Tom Curry made the allegation during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat (PA Wire)Curry had been the target of threats on social media after the allegations, with his club Sale Sharks saying they were “absolutely appalled” by the “nature and level” of abuse, while England captain Owen Farrell also slammed those sending the flanker abuse rng
Despite the threats, Curry has been selected in the England team to take on Argentina in the bronze final on Friday evening and World Rugby also addressed this aspect of the situation in their statement rng
They wrote: “World Rugby is also concerned by the social media abuse that both players have been subjected to this week rng
There is no place in rugby or society for discrimination, abuse or hate speech, and World Rugby urges fans to embrace the sport’s values of respect, integrity and solidarity rng
”South Africa captain Siya Kolisi confirmed that he had reached out to Curry and condemned the rng online abuse received rng
“If it’s a player, coach or referee, I don’t support that and I feel for him,” said Kolisi in the team announcement press conference rng
“I have spoken to him, I sent him a message when I saw that was going on because he’s somebody that I respect and I’ve played against for quite a while rng
“I’ve been through it too rng
We can take it as players when it comes to us directly but when it comes to your family, it’s totally different rng
That’s exactly what he said to me, it’s really hard when it comes to your family rng
That’s the one part of the game we really don’t enjoy – we don’t mind being criticised for how we play on the field but when it becomes personal rng

“We’ve experienced it too rng
Cobus [Reinach] and his family received death threats earlier this tournament rng
As a rugby family, as much as we compete, we do support each other when things like this happen rng
”Siya Kolisi confirmed he had reached out to Tom Curry (Getty Images)The RFU also released a statement following World Rugby’s confirmation that they wouldn’t press charges and said they were “deeply disappointed” by the decision rng
“The RFU fully support Tom Curry in raising the racially abusive behaviour he experienced whilst playing for England against South Africa,” said the statement rng
“During the match rng between England and South Africa on Saturday 21st October 2023, Tom Curry reported to the referee that he had been racially abused by Mbongeni Mbonambi rng
The subsequent World Rugby investigation was informed by Tom Curry that he had also been the victim of the same abuse, from the same player, in the Autumn Test 2022 rng
“World Rugby have today announced their decision not to bring charges in respect of either incident rng
The RFU are deeply disappointed by the decision taken by World Rugby rng
The decision not to put the evidence before an independent disciplinary panel has denied the disciplinary process the opportunity to hear Tom Curry’s voice and to independently assess his account of these serious events, together with the other available evidence rng
“In their continued full support of Tom, the RFU together with the England squad, condemn the disgusting abuse he and his family have received on social media as a result of his having had the courage to put unacceptable behaviour that has no place in society or on the rugby field, in the public eye rng
