THE BIGGER PICTURE
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.
DID YOU KNOW
Everton are the only team to have been deducted points on two occasions and were the third team in history to get one with Portsmouth and Middlesborough being the other two. Since then Nottingham Forest have also received a points deduction.

The Merseyside team haven’t had a third points deduction announced, but will be anxiously waiting on the result. There could be positive news to come still, as there are rumours of a new owner coming through, although no concrete offer has been made.
