Everton's signing of Nathan Patterson from Rangers is reportedly one of the deals that "p***** off" the English Premier League after they slapped the club with a 10-point deduction.
English football was rocked on Friday as Sean Dyche's side saw then their points tally slashed to 4 after the Premier League Commission judged the Toffees to have breached Financial Fair Play rules.
The Commission imposed the sanction as punishment for the Goodison club incurring unacceptable financial losses whilst not bringing in enough cash to offset them.
The decision has raised eyebrows across the game - with Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher among defenders of Everton as he questioned why the Premier League did not step in to halt signings like Scotland defender Patterson.
