The Premier League has once again announced a penalty against Everton for violating the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
2 point deduction to Everton!
Everton has been deducted 2 points for this violation, marking their second deduction this season and a total deduction of 8 points.
With the deduction, Everton now sits at 27 points in the league, only 2 points away from the relegation zone.
Everton is 2 point away for relegation zone!
The team’s prospects for avoiding relegation are not particularly optimistic. Without the deduction, they would be in 14th place in the league.
This deduction differs from the one in November last year. Last year, Everton was penalized for exceeding losses of £24 million within a specified period, resulting in a deduction of 10 points.
Everton admitted to the wrongdoing of club!
This time, Everton admitted to a financial breach involving £16.6 million.
Although Everton may appeal the decision, the likelihood of success is low given the differences in the nature of the financial breaches and the club’s admission of wrongdoing.
Despite being only 2 points away from the relegation zone, Everton still holds an advantage considering their strength compared to other teams in the zone.
EPL will continue to penalize teams that violate regulations
The Premier League does not apply a one-size-fits-all approach to penalties for financial breaches.
Whether future penalties will be adjusted depends on communication between the league and the clubs.
Such penalties are unfavorable for future cases involving Manchester City’s financial breaches.
Will Manchester City be the next team to be penalized?
If each accusation is supported by concrete evidence, Manchester City could face multiple penalties, which would be difficult for any club to accept.
Therefore, Manchester City has continuously asserted its innocence.
