Everton was the first, but according to reports out of England, Chelsea and Manchester City could follow as the Premier League cracks down on financial irregularities in the league.

Both clubs are under investigation and if found guilty the sanctions could be the harshest in Premier League history. The clubs, like Everton, are suspected of financial irregularities.

Manchester City is accused of 115 financial irregularities, but the case could not be settled until about two years from now. In the case of Chelsea, the new owners were the first to report irregularities.
