Everton’s punishment for breaching financial regulations has been amended, with the club’s points deduction reduced from 10 points to 6. The decision comes after an appeal by Everton and will take effect immediately, reshaping the landscape of the relegation battle for other clubs.
Initially penalized with a 10-point deduction in November for violating the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules for the 2021-2022 season, Everton’s appeal has resulted in a partial reprieve. The adjustment sees Everton climbing two places in the league standings, elevating them from 17th to 15th, edging past Brentford on goal difference.
A statement released by the Premier League outlined the rationale behind the adjustment, citing Everton’s appeal on nine grounds, primarily focused on the severity of the sanction rather than contesting the breach itself. The Appeal Board upheld two of the nine grounds, leading to the reduction in points deduction from 10 to 6.
With immediate effect, Everton’s revised points tally impacts the relegation battle, providing manager Sean Dyche’s side with a renewed sense of stability. The club now sits comfortably in 15th place with 25 points, boasting a five-point cushion above the relegation zone.
The Premier League table will promptly reflect this revision, signaling a shift in dynamics for Everton and the clubs vying to maintain their top-flight status. As the season progresses, Everton’s adjusted position promises to influence the competitive landscape of the league, adding further intrigue to the race for survival.
