The reasons behind reducing Everton’s points deduction from 10 to six have been revealed by the Premier League.
Everton have leapfrogged Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the top flight table and risen up to 15th after the decision of the Premier League’s appeals board which saw them get four points back.
The Toffees were docked 10 points for breaking spending rules in a period ending 2021-22, after out-spending the allowed £105million losses by £19.5m.
But the club had insisted they had mitigating factors which should be taken into account. Those included what losses were permissible, such as stadium costs, loss of investment due to the Russian war and also Covid-related downfalls.
Everton instantly appealed their 10-point loss on grounds of unfairness, saying the punishment was ‘disproportionate’. A three-man appeal panel heard a three-day hearing in late January and earlier this month.
