6 + 2 Point Deductions

[ToffeeTim]

Best outcome in a further deduction is that we only get 2 points off as 2/3 of the period under scrutiny has already attracted punishment. That would see us lose 2 and Forest 6 in that event.

Logic and consistency will not apply though sadly.

Agreed I see 2 more points as best case scenario

Unfortunately

Well if Forest get treated the same and they go easier on us due to the positive trend in our losses, this as far as I'm concerned is how the table now looks:

Will a second breach not be punished with a more severe penalty than a first?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Provided we don't get any more deductions, 5 wins will keep us up

Let's get those 15 points on the board ASAP and move on

 

[NorthernBlue]

Bad news with the second charge still to be decided. Could be another 6 and with that we’d be done.

 

[kenada_blue]

Not surprised.

Let's see what they do with this 2nd charge. Fine or Transfer ban IMO.

 

[Blue Smoke]

I imagine 4 or 5 points minimum for just going over it

 

[Dougie]

I know it gets said far too much but that West Ham is absolutely huge in terms of us turning round this rut we're in. With the run we're on and another points deduction pending we are staring down the barrel.

It’s a must win game simple as. If we don’t beat them, then the home form is a massive massive concern.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

The ironic thing now is that we’ve been arguing for the Prem to speed up the whole process, now we’d ideally want it all slowed down again so that 2nd charge is only brought in next season.

Yep. We will be the only team ever to have 2 punishments for 2 separate PSR 3 year cycles applied in the same season. Thats bullet point number one for Shagger’s opening statement in the next hearing.

Like I said

 

[trueblue84]

Get them to a proper court now, and fight for everything, this farce needs to end.

Not happening. The club have accepted the decision.

 

[lieneverton]

Expected zero. That's where any positive feeling ends.

Still an absolute outrage, and could be more to come, yet again unjustifiably.

Everton punishment reduced to six points

Everton's 10-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules is reduced on appeal.

[MIKE85]

There's nothing to celebrate about, really. This lays the groundwork for the second offense, and clubs can now sue for compensation.

 

[Neiler]

Everton statement in full: "While the club is still digesting the Appeal Board’s decision, we are satisfied our appeal has resulted in a reduction in the points sanction.

"We understand the Appeal Board considered the 10-point deduction originally imposed to be inappropriate when assessed against the available benchmarks of which the club made the Commission aware, including the position under the relevant EFL regulations, and the nine-point deduction that is imposed under the Premier League’s own rules in the event of insolvency.

"The club is also particularly pleased with the Appeal Board’s decision to overturn the original Commission’s finding that the club failed to act in utmost good faith. That decision, along with reducing the points deduction, was an incredibly important point of principle for the club on appeal. The club, therefore, feels vindicated in pursuing its appeal.

"Notwithstanding the Appeal Board’s decision, and the positive outcome, the club remains fully committed to cooperating with the Premier League in respect of the ongoing proceedings brought for the accounting period ending in June 2023.

"The club is still considering the wider implications of the decision and will make no further comment at this time other than to place on record its thanks to our Fan Advisory Board and other fan groups throughout this process, and to all Evertonians for their ongoing support and patience.

What a mess this is
