- Premier League sanctions club again for breaching PSR
- Sean Dyche’s side now only two points above drop zone
Everton have been dragged closer to a first top-flight relegation in 73 years after being deducted two points for breaching Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) up to 2023. It is the financially troubled club’s second PSR-related points deduction of the season and leaves Sean Dyche’s team two points above the relegation zone with seven matches remaining.
An independent commission imposed the sanction with immediate effect after Everton admitted breaching PSR by £16.6m for the three-year period ending June 2023. The club were docked a record 10 points in November for a £19.5m overspend in the four-year period up to 2022 – two year’s figures were taken on aggregate due to the Covid pandemic – although that was reduced to six points on appeal.
