Everton handed 10-point penalty for FFP rule breach
theathletic.com
Everton have been handed a 10-point deduction this season for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules. The club was referred to an independent commission in March for alleged breaches relating to the 2021-22 season and a hearing took place last month. Everton could have been fined or given a transfer embargo, but the Premier League have now confirmed the punishment of a points deduction, which will see Sean Dyche’s side drop to 19th in the table, only above bottom-placed Burnley on goal difference. A statement from the Premier League read: “An...

    I’ll accept nothing less than all titles in the last 15 years stripped and expulsion from the league, where they will have to start from the lower leagues and work their way back up FAIRLY.

    Nothing will happen to City for years due to their ongoing court battle with the PL. Everton can’t hire the same people City can get. Plus I’d imagine 1 charge is easier to deal with than 115…

    That said - the fact that City have 115 charges by itself should be an outright punishment without even getting into the minutia of it

    Probably a good year for Everyone to lose the points. Some real bottom feeders this year.

    Everton have been handed a 10-point deduction this season for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

    The club was referred to an independent commission in March for alleged breaches relating to the 2021-22 season and a hearing took place last month.

    Everton could have been fined or given a transfer embargo, but the Premier League have now confirmed the punishment of a points deduction, which will see Sean Dyche’s side drop to 19th in the table, only above bottom-placed Burnley on goal difference.

    and later:

    Premier League rules dictate clubs are allowed to lose a maximum of £105million ($128.4m) over three years, but Everton recorded losses of £370million between 2018 and 2021.

    The club said in a statement in March that they were “entirely confident” they were compliant with all financial rules and regulations.

    Everton’s hearing is only the second time action like this has been taken, after Manchester City were hit with more than 100 financial fair play charges last season.

    The outcome in City’s case has not yet been communicated, with The Athletic reporting that a verdict — which would be subject to appeal — would likely take considerable time to be reached.

    Everton get immediate punishments while City are allowed to carry on and win back to back premierships. Make it make sense.

      I mean there’s probably a difference if I read it right, Everton admitted there was irregularities didn’t they, City have denied it so that could be what’s at play here?
