After their appeal hearing, Everton’s 10-point penalty for violating the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) of the Premier League was lowered to six points.

On November 17, an independent panel decided that Everton had overrun allowed losses by £19.5

million during an assessment period that concluded with the 2021–22 season.

As a result, Everton was sanctioned.The hearing took conducted over three days,

concluding at the beginning of February, when the club filed an appeal of the ruling.

With 25 points now, Everton is five points above the bottom three and in 15th place.

“The club is still processing the appeal board’s ruling, but we are happy that our appeal has led to a reduction in the points sanction,

” an Everton statement said.”We understand that the appeal board determined that the initial 10-point

deduction was inappropriate when compared to the benchmarks that the club provided to the commission,

such as the position under the applicable EFL regulations and the nine-point deduction that the Premier League imposes in the event of insolvency.

“The appeal board’s ruling to reverse the initial commission’s conclusion that the club did not behave in the best interests of good faith has also made the club very happy.

For the club on appeal, that ruling and the reduction of the points deduction constituted a crucial matter of principle. As a result, the club believes that its appeal was justified.
