Everton are reportedly facing a 12-point deduction that could severely dent their Premier League survival hopes.
According to The Telegraph, the Premier League have recommended Everton receive a ‘record-breaking’ punishment for allegedly breaking profit and profit and sustainability rules. The Toffees could face a maximum punishment of being deducted 12 points if found guilty.
Everton have narrowly avoided relegation in each of the last two Premier League seasons and currently sit three points above the relegation zone with seven points from their opening nine games. A 12-point deduction would see them bottom of the table on -5 points as things stand.
Everton have posted significant losses in recent years since the club’s latest accounts revealing losses of £44.7million for the 2021-22 financial year. That was a significant decrease in losses compared to the previous year which stood at £120.9million.
