Everton hit with fresh points deduction for second PSR breach as Man City 115 charges wait continues

Everton have been handed a fresh two point deduction for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules

Sean Dyche's side were deducted six points earlier this season and have now been hit with a further punishment for the three-year cycle to 2022-23. The previous deduction, reduced on appeal, was for breaches in the assessment period up to the 2021-22 season.

Everton have indicated they will appeal the decision, which sees them drop one place in the table to 16th. The Toffees are now just two points above the relegation zone.

It is expected to be later in 2024, with the intention of everything being cleared up by the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
