Q&A: Everton바카라s Latest Points Deduction And What It Means For The Club
An independent commission has deducted two points from Everton바카라s tally after the club admitted a breach of the Premier League바카라s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) over the three-year cycle to 2022-23, leaving them on 27 from 31 games
The Toffees now sit just two points clear of the bottom three with seven fixtures remaining, although they have a game in hand on each of the three sides below them 바카라 Nottingham Forest, Luton and Burnley 바카라 and are 11 points better off than bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at their plight.
What has happened?
An independent commission has deducted two points from Everton바카라s tally after the club admitted a breach of the Premier League바카라s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) over the three-year cycle to 2022-23, leaving them on 27 from 31 games.
Haven바카라t we been here before?
Yes. The Merseyside club were hit with an unprecedented 10-point penalty in November after being found to have 바카라taken chances바카라 with PSR. Their losses for the three-year period up to 2021-22 were £124.5million, £19.5million over the threshold, even accounting for allowances made for the Covid-19 pandemic. At the time, they slipped to 19th place as a result, but the sanction was reduced to six points in February following a successful appeal, at which point they climbed to 15th.
What are the PSR?
These are the regulations governing a club바카라s maximum permitted losses. Normally top-flight clubs can lose up to £105million over the three-year assessment period without being in breach.
How much above the limit were Everton?
The club exceeded the spending limit during the specified period by £16.6million. During a three-day hearing, the commission considered mitigating factors cited by Everton, but ultimately decided a two-point penalty to take effect immediately was appropriate.
What were their arguments?
The Goodison Park outfit argued against further punishment, pointing to 바카라the concept of double punishment, the significant mitigating circumstances facing the club due to the war in Ukraine, and the high level of co-operation and early admission of the club바카라s breach바카라.
What have Everton said?
The club have signalled both their intention to appeal and commitment to 바카라working collaboratively바카라 with the league on PSR matters, while expressing concern over 바카라the inconsistency of different commissions in respect of points deductions applied바카라.

Are they alone?
No. Forest were last month docked four points for an overspend of £34.5million on their allowed total of £61million 바카라 £22million is deducted from the £105million limit for each season spent outside the Premier League during the qualifying period 바카라 with a further two points discounted to reflect their early plea and co-operation. Sky Bet Championship leaders Leicester, who have since reported a pre-tax loss of £89.7million for the year to June 30, 2023, were referred to an independent commission by the Premier League for an alleged breach last month.
