Everton's Record Points Deduction and Appeal: A Critical Look at Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules

20 February 2024

Everton were deducted 10 points in November for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The points deduction was the largest in Premier League history and pushed Everton into the relegation zone.
The club admitted the breach during a five-day hearing.
Everton lodged an appeal against the points deduction in December, stating that the sanction was unfair and unreasonable.
The appeal hearing took place over three days from January 31, with a final decision expected in mid-February.
Everton manager Sean Dyche expressed the need for a speedy outcome.
Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher expects Everton to regain some points, with a maximum of two to three.
The Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules limit clubs to a loss of £105m over a three-year period.
Clubs can only lose £15m of their own money, with the remaining £90m guaranteed by the owners.
