Club ‘shocked and disappointed’ by ruling, which means Sean Dyche’s side will drop from 14th to 19th after punishment for breaching profit and sustainability rules
Smart move from Everton if they knew the deduction was inevitable, they’ll survive this year because they’re just below Luton and Sheffield who are pretty terrible.
Everton will probably finish above the three promoted sides regardless of the points deducted and they know that. Smart play to take it this year and not attempt to drag it out another season.
Having said all that I do agree that this is a harsh punishment for a team that has worked with the PL to resolve this while other teams drag out legal cases and avoid punishment.
