Everton have been docked two points for another violation of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Before the points punishment, Everton was 15th in the Premier League table, four points ahead of the bottom three. They have now dropped below Brentford to 16th place with 27 points, two points and two places above 18th-placed Luton.
According to the written reasons issued by the independent panel, Everton overspent by £16.6 million on a £105 million loss over three seasons.
Everton say they and their legal team have “begun the preparations to appeal the Commission’s decision”. Should they confirm that appeal, then a decision on that must be heard by May 24, which is five days after the end of the Premier League season.
