Great news; Everton finally win appeal and has been issued 10-point back by Premier League

The Merseyside club were docked points with immediate effect last month for breaches of financial sustainability rules.

In an attempt to overturn the Premier League’s decision to dock Everton 10 points for violating the competition’s financial regulations,

the club has launched an appeal.

With Everton now in the relegation zone and facing the possibility of losing its 70-year run in the top flight,

the deduction was the largest sporting penalty in the 31-year history of the Premier League.

An independent panel concluded that, from the end of the 2021–22 season until then,

the club had lost 124.5 million pounds ($155 million) during a three-year period.

Clubs are subject to sanctions if they lose more than 105 million pounds ($130 million) during a three-year period,

as stipulated under the league’s profit and financial sustainability regulations.

Everton released a brief statement on Friday stating,

“Everton Football Club has today lodged its appeal of the decision by a Premier League commission to impose a 10-point deduction

on the club with the chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel.” “An appeal board has been designated to consider the case.”

The point deduction was previously described by Everton as “a wholly disproportionate and unjust sporting sanction,”

and the team said it “does not recognise the finding that it failed to act with the utmost good faith.”

Having won the league nine times and been in the top flight since 1954,

the Merseyside club is among the most illustrious teams in England.

Thousands of Everton supporters demonstrated against the deduction after the team’s 3-0 loss to

Manchester United last week by putting up bright pink posters at Goodison Park bearing the word “Corrupt” beneath the Premier League’s lion-head logo.

The 1878s, an Everton supporter club,

flown a banner over the Etihad Stadium during Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool last week that said, “Premier League = Corrupt.”
