– Everton’s points deduction, explained: What they did wrong
“Everton Football Club has today lodged with the Chair of the Premier League’s Judicial Panel its appeal of the decision by a Premier League Commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the club,” Everton said in a statement.
“An Appeal Board will now be appointed to hear the case.”
Earlier this month, the Premier League said Everton admitted that they had breached profitability and sustainability rules during a hearing.
The resultant sanction was the biggest of its kind since the creation of the Premier League.
