Everton, managed by Sean Dyche, has received a second points deduction from the Premier League for breaching profit and sustainability rules. This new punishment sees the club drop to 16th place in the table. It comes after Everton had previously received a 10-point deduction in November, which was later reduced to six points in February following an appeal. However, a second breach has resulted in a further two-point penalty for the team.
After their 1-0 win over Burnley, Everton’s points have been reduced from 29 to 27, leaving them just two points above teams in the relegation zone. Everton has expressed its intention to appeal against the deductions, stating that they feel the double penalty is not appropriate. The club has released a statement expressing concern about the inconsistency in the application of points deductions and has thanked fan groups for their support. Everton has announced that they will appeal against the Commission’s decision and has taken legal steps to do so.
They are determined to avoid slipping further into the relegation battle, with upcoming matches against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal adding to the pressure.
