- Everton successfully appeal 10-point penalty for breaking rules
- Club still face second charge of breaching financial regulations
Everton have received a lift in their fight to avoid relegation after a record 10-point deduction for a breach of Premier League profit and sustainability rules was reduced to six points on appeal. Sean Dyche’s team now sit 15th in the table on 25 points.
The club were hit with the biggest sporting sanction in Premier League history in November for breaching financial rules by £19.5m up to 2021-22. Everton, having long denied any breach, admitted during last October’s hearing to breaking the permitted £105m losses over a three-year period by £9.7m. The club still face a second Premier League charge for the period ending 2022-23.
