"Everton's case is being examined by an independent committee, after they recorded a financial loss of up to £304m over a three-year period, much higher than the £105m allowed by the Premier League. The verdict on Everton will be made at the end of the year. But now, the Premier League has proposed deducting 12 points from the team for breaching rules on profitability and sustainability," said The Telegraph (UK).
Everton FC faces relegation risk if deducted 12 points
"Everton are racing to fight allegations of breaking their financial regulations with the Premier League. But the possibility of winning is almost non-existent. They are facing the risk of being severely punished and could soon fall on the brink of relegation in the 2023-2024 season," shared The Telegraph .
Everton are currently 16th in the Premier League this season with 7 points after 9 matches, only 3 points ahead of the closest team in the relegation group, Burnley. Therefore, if the Premier League deducts 12 points, they will have a negative score and face a very high risk of relegation. In addition, the Goodison Park team will also be fined by the Premier League and banned from transferring.
The case of deducting points from Everton for violating the Premier League's financial rules will also make clubs like Man City nervous. In February this year, Man City was accused of violating up to 115 financial regulations in 14 Premier League seasons from 2009-2010 to the current season 2022-2023.

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher also took the opportunity to speak out: "If the Premier League punishes Everton, they must also punish Man City for the 115 financial violations that have been announced. They must relegate Man City by 5 divisions and bring this team that committed serious violations back to the semi-professional league to truly convince everyone."
