Both Everton and Nottingham Forest are named as two of the clubs who might look to take action against Chelsea.

Although there are ‘several’ Premier League clubs who are also exploring taking action or at least speaking to the Premier League regarding the settlement they came to recently in the charges against Chelsea.

Chelsea were fined £10.75m and given a suspended transfer ban by the ­Premier League last week after ­reporting £47.5m of hidden ­payments to agents and players made over a seven‑year period.

At the time, I thought we got off lightly, and it seems that the rest of the Premier League do as well, with the punishment the rest of the top-flight clubs see as being very lenient.

Everton and Forest to take action?

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have an awkward hello.

The Guardian are reporting that Everton are exploring a possible legal challenge against the Premier League for its handling of Chelsea’s undisclosed payments sanction. The club are understood to be preparing to write to the Premier League requesting a formal explanation for its failure to take any sporting sanctions against Chelsea, with their legal options also being considered.

They go on to say that Executives from ­several clubs have contacted the Premier League asking for ­clarity on the terms of their agreed settlement with Chelsea.

Nottingham Forest are also set to join the attack on Chelsea. They have apparently have held talks with Everton this week about ­joining forces to challenge the ­Premier League.

In other news…

Sources are saying Liam Rosenior won’t be sacked unless there’s an “almighty collapse”, and given how disconnected the players look right now, we couldn’t rule that out.

Gus Poyet has also been speaking about Rosenior’s future, and he has less confidence than these sources. I personally think I’m with Poyet on this one more than anything else.
