EVERTON have been given an further two-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
The Toffees have already been hit by a six-point sanction this season relating to breaching PSR in the assessment period up to the 2021-22 season.
The extra punishment for the three-year cycle to 2022-23 drops them one league place to 16th, two points above the relegation zone.
The Premier League said today: “Over a three-day hearing last month, the independent commission heard evidence and arguments from the club in respect of a range of potential mitigating factors for its admitted breach of £16.6 million, including the impact of its two successive PSR charges.
“Having done so, the commission determined the appropriate sanction to be a two-point deduction, taking effect immediately.
“The independent commission reaffirmed the principle that any breach of the PSRs is significant and justifies, indeed requires, a sporting sanction.”
Everton plan to appeal against the decision.
