According to the latest announcement, Everton officially successfully appealed the 10-point deduction from the Premier League organizers.
According to an announcement from Everton, this team successfully appealed the penalty from the Premier League and was awarded 4 points this season. The notice reads:
“Everton can confirm that the Appeal Panel has concluded that the penalty imposed by the Independent Premier League Commission in November will be reduced from 10 points to 6 points. This decision takes effect immediately.”
With this ruling, Everton will be added 4 points (21 to 25) and will jump from 17th to 15th place, while creating a 5-point gap compared to the “red light” group.
“We are also particularly pleased with the Appeal Panel’s decision to overturn the Committee’s original finding that Everton FC did not act in good faith. That decision, along with the points deduction, is an extremely important point of principle for the club when appealing.
Therefore, the club feels vindicated in persevering with this appeal. Despite the decision of the Appeal Panel and the positive outcome, Everton FC remains fully committed to cooperating with the Premier League with respect to the ongoing proceedings for the accounting period ending June 2023.”
Even though all 10 points cannot be refunded, the addition of 4 points is still good news for coach Sean Dyche and his team, especially when they are having difficulty in the relegation race.
Everton also increased the gap with the red light group from 1 point to 5 points – a safer gap and helps the players somewhat relieve pressure.
The performance of coach Sean Dyche and his team recently is not very impressive. They have not won in the last 9 rounds in the Premier League with 4 defeats and 5 draws.
