Everton have lost out on over £12million of merit payments because of their eight-point deduction this season, Football Insider can reveal.
The Merseyside club have breached Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules in consecutive seasons, resulting in two separate deductions.
They were initially docked 10 points in November which was later reduced to six following a successful appeal.
The club was then hit with a further two-point deduction after their 2022-23 accounts also exceeded the £105million allowable losses under PSR.
Overall, the eight points deducted have dropped Everton down to 15th in the table with one game remaining this season.
