The filings all pertain to charges; namely that eight charges taken out with various lenders from dates ranging from June 2017 to June 2019 have been 'satisfied.' Quite simply, Everton as both a football club and a business depend on cash to stay alive. Like a host of other Premier League clubs, they have used the money owed to them in the future by the Premier League as security for a loan or for a line of credit. Not all charges relate to money owed by the Premier League; some clubs, Leicester among them, have used money owed from transfer fees as security in order to secure a loan from a bank. Meanwhile, some of the charges Everton took out were extensions or amendments to historical transactions between the club and the lender.
