Sports News] A few days ago, the Premier League made an official announcement
stating that Everton have been deducted by 10 points for breaching the league’s
profitability and sustainability regulations. According to reports from
October, an independent committee conducted a five-day hearing and determined
that Everton’s losses exceeded the allowed threshold of £105 million, amounting
to £124.5 million. Consequently, the independent committee decided to impose an
immediate penalty of 10 points on Everton. It is worth noting that the
evaluation period for Everton spanned three years, concluding in the 2021-22
fiscal year, during which their accumulated losses reached an astonishing £304
million. This deduction also marks Everton as the team with the highest number
of points deducted in Premier League history. Following the revelation, some
media outlets have raised concerns regarding the fairness of the Premier
League’s penalty, especially in light of Manchester City’s previous accusations
without subsequent punishment. As a fan, what are your thoughts on Everton’s
points deduction?
