Alex Crook has shared that Everton are unlikely to receive the outcome of their points deduction appeal ahead of the clash with Crystal Palace on 19 February.
The talkSPORT reporter did, however, inform supporters that, despite the club not having received any notification yet, they should hear the decision before the end of the week.
Crook also emphasised the significance of a victory vs Palace, since Sean Dyche’s team has not won three points since December 16 and their play is starting to deteriorate.
In a live interview with talkSPORT [07:15], Crook said: “Everton is having a huge week, both on and off the ground. Their last victory was on December 16th, so this game seems quite important.
“We’re waiting on the independent panel’s decision about their appeal against the ten-point fine. It wouldn’t happen on a matchday like this, in my opinion, and Everton hasn’t been informed of this either. By the end of the week, it ought to take place.
When will Everton receive their points deduction appeal verdict?
The Goodison Park team was initially supposed to get the outcome of their appeal before the match against Palace, but it appears that chance has passed and the ruling is unlikely to be made public before the match.
Everton will have presented their case during the appeal, and they will be hoping to regain at least some of the 10 points that were taken away. This might be crucial in the battle for relegation at the conclusion of the season.
This match at Goodison Park against Crystal Palace is a real six-pointer for relegation. With the appeal decision to come soon, Dyche’s team might surpass the Eagles by the end of the week if they win all three points, cutting the deficit to only two points for Palace.
While all is going on, Palace is dealing with their own problems. Oliver Glasner is anticipated to take over as manager, and the match at Goodison Park may mark Roy Hodgson’s final game in charge of the team.
