Everton fans will feel “vindicated” by their successful appeal after the commission admitted mistakes were made in the initial hearing.
The initial 10-point penalty was “far too harsh,” according to financial expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that the appeal ruling had brought greater “clarity.”
After winning their appeal last month, the Toffees had their original punishment lowered to six points.
The commission acknowledged that there were “legal errors” at the initial hearing in the appeal verdict.
The first commission’s ruling, which was reversed on appeal, also claimed that Everton had been “less than frank” in their disclosure to the Premier League over debt associated with their new stadium.

According to Maguire, the initial panel committed a “mistake” by placing an excessive amount of emphasis on Everton’s lack of good faith.
Maguire told Sean Fisher of Football Insider, “Overall, the outcome of the second hearing has provided a lot more clarity on what should form the basis of any charges.”
“It appears that the initial panel erred when it decided to raise the tariff on the grounds of good faith by taking far too long.
“I read the second commission from beginning to end, and this was stressed a great deal.
According to the second commission, the goal of Everton’s council is to make the strongest possible argument for the team.
Thus, Everton supporters will likely feel justified.
“I felt that the initial punishment was much too severe and that it needed to be reviewed, which it has.”
