Everton have appealed against the judgment to sink them 10 Premier League points for financial rule violations.
Unprecedented Sanction
In a historic ruling, Everton faced the largest penalty in Premier League history, handed down by an independent commission.
The club swiftly lodged an appeal with the Premier League’s judicial panel, initiating the formation of an appeal board to re-examine the case.
Club’s Reaction and Appeal
Although Everton admitted the breach, they expressed profound shock and disappointment at the severity of the imposed punishment. The appeal, a response to the ten-point deduction, aims to challenge the ruling before the conclusion of the current season.
Club’s Statement
Everton Football Club confirmed the submission of their appeal to the Premier League’s judicial panel, contesting the commission’s decision to impose a ten-point deduction.
The lack of transparency regarding how this figure was determined has fueled the club’s belief that the sporting penalty for breaching financial limits is disproportionate.
Awaiting Panel Review
The appeal now heads to a panel responsible for scrutinizing the commission’s ruling, evaluating the process and assessing the fairness of the issued penalty.
Table Impact
The ten-point deduction significantly impacted Everton’s league standing, dropping them from 14th to 19th in the Premier League table.
