Everton have received another points deduction.

Earlier this season, the Premier League took away ten points (later reduced to six points on appeal) for breaching PSR restrictions for the three seasons accounts up to and including the 2021/22 season.

Now on Monday (8 April) afternoon, the Premier League announcing another deduction for Everton, this time for the three seasons of accounts up to and including the 2022/23 season.

This time it is two points docked from the Everton points total.

This is how the Premier League table looked after the weekend’s results:

So with two points to come off that total above, Everton dropping below Brentford to 27 points, only two above the drop.

Whatever you think of the overall idea of points deductions, you have to think very lenient this time, considering Everton have now done this twice in a row.

Premier League official Everton announcement – 8 April 2024:

‘An independent Commission has given an immediate two-point deduction to Everton FC for a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs) for the period ending Season 2022/23.

Over a three-day hearing last month, the independent Commission heard evidence and arguments from the club in respect of a range of potential mitigating factors for its admitted breach of £16.6million, including the impact of its two successive PSR charges. Having done so, the Commission determined the appropriate sanction to be a two-point deduction, taking effect immediately.

The independent Commission reaffirmed the principle that any breach of the PSRs is significant and justifies, indeed requires, a sporting sanction.
