Concerning Point Deduction Penalty, Everton Successfully Wins Appeal

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Everton, an English Premier League club, announced that the Appeal Board has decided to reduce their points deduction penalty from 10 points to just six.

This punishment is clearly lighter than the previous decision by the Independent Premier League Commission in November 2023.

“Everton have accepted the decision of the Appeal Board reducing the points deduction imposed by the English Premier League Independent Commission in November, from 10 points to six points, with immediate effect,” said a statement from the club known as The Toffeesas reported by The Athletic on Monday (26/2/2024).

The points deduction was imposed because Everton was deemed to have committed a financial violation.

The decision from the Appeals Council is certainly good news for Everton, who is struggling to avoid the relegation zone.

According to the official Premier League website, Everton is currently in 15th position in the English Premier League for the 2023/24 season. They have collected 25 points to date, just five points ahead of Luton Town in 18th place who are best ranked in the relegation zone.

Their last match was against Brighton the previous weekend which ended in a 1-1 draw.
