If the PL know it is almost certainly the case that Everton likewise know. The IC responsible for the appeal will almost certainly have by now sent a draft of the written reasons ( which isn’t how the two participants are advised of the outcome) and no doubt before the PL and Everton have suggested amendments or agreeing the wording the professionals who represented the parties will be looking at every word, every punctuation in detail.
One thing that needs to be remembered is that the first charge wasnt lodged under the accelerated rules that the clubs agreed to in effect save filing timelines very little in terms of deadlines were in place . The second charge and indeed the Forest charge are already advancing at pace each club will be heard by separate commissions and no doubt the PL will have commissioned two completely different legal teams.
I am far from unsure who coordinated the announcement when it comes will be but before Everton comment the outcome will be posted on the PL website and almost certainly the press will be given an hour at least minimum
The idea to fast track these cases is one of the most farcical things I've ever seen in sport. It's completely impractical, and it's completely unfair since clubs with more charges won't have their cases heard for another year or more.
And the idea of having two points deductions for a single season, even though any breaches would impact different periods, is completely unfair too.
This process has been a complete joke and I don't understand why we would want to defend it.
We entered an appeal towards the end of November. 3 months is far far too long to wait for a final verdict.
