Everton’s point sanction for violating the Premier League’s sustainability and profitability regulations has been reduced from ten to six after an appeal.
The Toffees filed an appeal in November against the decision to deduct their points for violating PSR throughout the three-year period ending in 2021/22.
The club will now move onto 25 points, which lifts them into 15th place from 17th and five points above the relegation zone.
“An independent appeal board has concluded that the sanction for Everton FC’s breach of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSRs), for the period ending season 2021/22, will be an immediate six-point deduction,” a Premier League statement read.
“This follows the club’s appeal of an independent commission’s decision in November 2023 to impose a 10-point deduction for the club’s breach of the PSRs.
“The appeal was heard over three days earlier this month, by an appeal board comprising Sir Gary Hickinbottom (chair), Daniel Alexander KC and Katherine Apps KC.
“Everton FC appealed the sanction imposed against it on nine grounds, each of which related to the sanction rather than the fact of the breach, which the club admitted.
“Two of those nine grounds were upheld by the appeal board, which has substituted the original points deduction of 10 for six.
“This revised sanction has immediate effect and the Premier League table will be updated today to reflect this.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
