Everton facing third points deduction as Premier League reportedly uncover further financial rules breachesThe Premier League could hand Everton a worrying start to the season after uncovering more financial issues surrounding Sean Dyche’s team. According to The Sun, there was additional overspending linked to the points deduction they were hit with in April that could get Everton in hot water.
Everton were docked two points by an independent commission for overspending in the 2022-23 season. They had already been hit with a 10-point deduction for breaches in the 2021-22 campaign, but it was reduced it to six on appeal, which helped them avoid relegation to the Championship. The independent regulator has found more issues with the Toffees’ finances after another £6.5 million ($8m) payment had been discovered and left them in a sticky situation.
