They could face starting the next season with a deficit of points if the Premier League argues that their financial losses for the period up to 2022/23 exceed the club’s claims. This situation poses challenges for manager Sean Dyche, as a hearing is set to determine the outcome of this matter.
Despite admitting to losses exceeding the threshold set by PSR, Everton is in disagreement with the Premier League about the actual amount of their losses, leading to a scheduled hearing at the end of the season. Any further action will be delayed until after the season, which means that Everton could face potential disadvantages in the future.
The Commission handling the case acknowledged the importance of a speedy determination of the disciplinary proceedings while emphasizing the complexity of the issues involved. Such a situation has not occurred in the Premier League since its rebranding in 1992.
Everton received a two-point penalty this season, following an earlier six-point deduction, and intend to appeal this latest sanction. As a result, they currently rank 16th in the Premier League table, with a narrow lead of only two points above the relegation zone.
Despite their continuous struggle, the team managed to secure a victory in their recent match against Burnley. This win, coupled with the difficulties faced by teams lower in the table, offers some hope for Everton’s survival in the league.
