Jamie Carragher predicts how many points Everton be get deducted by the Premier League in second chance
Everton were awarded four points back from the Premier League on Monday after a successful appeal against their 10-point deduction.
The outcome lifts Sean Dyche’s side to 15th in the standings, five points clear of Luton Town, who occupy 18th position.
For the most part, a sense of relief will emerge at Goodison Park, with Everton’s relegation woes now eased.
The team isn’t quite clean yet, though, since a second Premier League accusation is imminent.
In the middle of April, Everton and Nottingham Forest will receive their penalty.
Jamie Carragher has forecast the number of additional points that will be penalized following the return of four points.
Jamie Carragher makes Everton points prediction
Speaking on the Stick to Football Podcast, the former Liverpool defender predicts that after the second verdict is rendered, one or two additional points will be awarded.
“What’s wrong with Everton is that two of the previous two years are included in this new sanction,” he stated.
“They’ll be arguing that since they’ve already been disciplined, they can’t receive six more points. I predict that Forest will likely receive six points and Everton will receive one or two.
End-of-season uncertainty in store
It’s possible that Everton will have a very shaky season finale.
After the last ball is kicked, the league table can still shift, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
Talking on The Athletic Football Podcast, Ornstein has detailed how a “farcical” situation could emerge at the end of the season.
“The big thing is that it is not over by any means. We are only partway through the process. Which kind of underlines the mess we are in,” he said.
“The” second charge for Everton and first for Nottingham Forest need to be wrapped up by mid-April, but it’s conceivable that we won’t get an absolute conclusion until the 24th of May.
“Which is five days after the end of the season, in time for the AGM in which places are allocated for the subsequent season.
“So we could have the likes of Everton and Burnley playing on the final day, not knowing if they will be playing in the Premier League next season. That feels pretty farcical.”
Considering the situation, the Premier League should certainly consider being flexible regarding the AGM for any appeal process to occur before the season ends.
However, considering the governing body’s previous form, it isn’t very likely.
