Everton could hear whether they will receive another points deduction as early as next week
And they may well now face a further deduction after admitting to another breach, this time over the period 2019-2023.spoke to a football finance expert to find out what Everton’s second hearing verdict could be and what it means for the relegation battle.Everton’s second hearing is probably the most predictable of the season so far, whether the decision reached is reasonable or not.
The Forest report agreed with Everton’s appeal report that a three-point deduction is the standard acceptable starting point for a “significant” breach of PSR, with points added on from there for scale. Alongside this, it is clear from the Forest report that the Premier League believe a points deduction is the only acceptable punishment for PSR breaches.
There are three possible outcomes here. The first, and least likely, is that the independent commission believes Everton have already been punished for the majority of this period, and only recommend a financial penalty. Given the Premier League’s previous assertion that points deductions are the only acceptable punishment for PSR breaches, this seems highly unlikely.
“On the basis that the charge is being heard, you get a sense of confidence that the Premier League are sure from the submission of information that Everton provided in advance of Christmas that there is a breach of some description, so three points would be the minimum. They’re drawing a pretty hard line in the sand to clubs in the face of the independent regulator.
