Everton’s turbulent Premier League season took another hit as the club was slapped with a two-point deduction for financial rule breaches—their second penalty this season. The league confirmed the sanction Monday, citing a £16.6 million overspending violation during a three-year assessment period. 🚨
A three-day independent panel review last month weighed Everton’s arguments, including the “impact” of back-to-back financial charges, but still ruled the deduction necessary. The punishment drops the Toffees to 16th place, just two points above relegation danger. Fans are now sweating over survival prospects with seven games left. 😓
This follows a six-point penalty in November 2023 for similar breaches, reduced from an initial 10 points on appeal. Critics call it a “financial fair play rollercoaster,” while supporters rally behind the team: “Time to fight like never before!” 💪
