Everton: On Friday, the team will file an appeal against the Premier League points deduction.

Everton was immediately hit with a 10-point deduction for violating the Premier League‘s profit and sustainability regulations; before the deduction, Everton was in 14th place, eight points above the bottom three. The decision was made by an impartial commission.

After it is filed, the case will be reviewed by an impartial appeals commission made up of individuals who were not on the original commission panel.

Everton promised to appeal the decision, stating they were “shocked and disappointed” by it.

“Both the harshness and severity of the sanction imposed are neither a fair nor a reasonable reflection of the evidence submitted,” the club stated.

Sean Dyche’s team was thrown into the relegation zone by the Premier League’s biggest deduction in history, which was handed out by an impartial commission and took effect right away.

 

The Premier League claims that Everton acknowledged breaking the profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) during a five-day hearing.

The inquiry found that “Everton’s PSR calculation for the relevant period resulted in a loss of £124.5m, as contended by the Premier League, which exceeded the threshold of £105m permitted under the PSRs” .

Everton was eight points above the bottom three in the league standings before their points loss, having just missed out on promotion to the Championship the previous season.

In the history of the Premier League, only three clubs have ever had points deducted. Three points were taken away from Middlesbrough for missing a match against Blackburn in the 1996–97 season, and nine points were taken away from Portsmouth following their administration in March 2010.

For financial irregularities several seasons prior, Tottenham was docked twelve points prior to the 1994–1995 season; however, at first, the penalty was only six points.
