Winning Appeal, Everton Club Points Penalty Reduced

London, Beritasatu.com – The Everton club received a points penalty for violating profitability and sustainability rules in the English Premier League. After winning the appeal court, Everton's points penalty was only reduced to six points from the initial 10 points.

This was stated by the management of the Everton club and the management of the English Premier League on Monday (26/2/2024).

Everton was handed a 10-point deduction in November 2023, after being found to have violated profitability and sustainability (PSR) rules regarding losses.

The points deduction made Everton drop from 14th in the standings to the relegation zone with only four points. The club appealed against the initial cuts, which they said were disproportionate and unfair.

“Everton can confirm that the appeals board has concluded that the points deduction imposed by the Premier League's independent commission in November, was reduced from 10 points to six points,” a club statement said.

The reduction in the points penalty made Everton move up to 15th in the standings with 25 points.

“The independent appeals board has concluded that the sanction for Everton FC's breach of the English Premier League's profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR), for the period ending the 2021/2022 season, is only a six-point deduction,” the Premier League said in a statement.
