      by

      NEAL MAUPAY has bit back at Everton fans who blasted the team as they walked past supporters following their 4-0 battering against Tottenham.Everton were humiliated in north London as goals from Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero and a brace from Son Heung-Min compounded a tough day at the office for the Toffees.Neal Maupay has hit back at Everton fan criticismCredit: GettyA video on social media showed angry fans hurling X-rated abuse at Everton players as they walked past them at London EustonCredit: RexBut following the defeat, Sean Dyche’s side were seen walking past fans at London’s Euston train station as they made their way home.A video captured by one fan and posted to social media showed furious Evertonians hurling X-rated abuse at the squad.One fan can be heard shouting: “F*** off, you f***ing rat. F***ing 80 grand a week? You F***ing w****r.”Many squad members went past with their heads down, though Jordan Pickford and Mason Holgate did attempt to appease the fans by briefly speaking to some of them.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLTaking to social media later on, Maupay – who is back at Everton after spending last season on loan at Brentford – responded in a critical tone on X. Quoting the original video, he said: “Imagine another job where it’s normalised to get abuse like this. “Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best…”The 28-year-old Frenchman is yet to feature off the bench this season.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSEverton’s defeat at Spurs came after a home defeat to Brighton on the opening day, which has left them at the bottom of the table on a goal difference of minus seven.Indeed, the situation is so bad that bookmakers Paddy Power are already paying out on bets for Everton to be relegated.Premier League sides deducted points and others at riskDyche, 53, risked fan wrath ahead of the Spurs game when he said: “We have spoken about this before many times… hero, zero, zero, hero. “This is quite an extreme place. It is either, ‘Yes we’re amazing, we won’ or ‘rubbish, you’re all rubbish again.’ That kind of psychology en masse.”Everton have the chance to finally get a win on the board in midweek when they face Doncaster in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before hosting Bournemouth next Saturday.They are in the midst of an injury crisis, however, with only 14 first-team players available during their recent match against Spurs.Among the absentees were Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner, Seamus Coleman and Youssef Chermiti among those in the treatment room.Dyche has suggested that both Coleman and Garner could make their comebacks as early as Tuesday, but warned they will have to “wait and see” how they do in training.Premier League sides deducted points and others at riskNottingham ForestDeducted four points during the 2023-24 season for breaching Premier League spending limit by £34.563m.

Fined £8.6m by Uefa but still to be formally charged by the Prem despite an ongoing investigation.LeicesterFoxes breached Prem PSR loss limits last season but did not have to report their 2022-23 accounts until this month because of their relegation. That puts the timetable back and means that they will probably face a Prem points deduction for the 2024-25 season following their return to the top flight.Everton (again)The Toffees are again at risk of breaking PSR rules and are in a race against time to raise funds and balance the books. Not only could that lead to another charge but also administration. That would lead to an automatic nine-point deduction for the 2024/25 season. More

      Everton face THIRD points deduction as Premier League make new claim over alleged PSR breach

They had already been hit with the loss of TEN points for breaches in the 2021-22 campaign the previous November — a sanction which was reduced to six points on appeal.The Prem is alleging the breach in 2022-23 was far higher however, as interest payments related to the stadium were NOT included.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAn independent commission who imposed the second points deduction rejected the Prem’s argument that £17m in interest payments should be added to their losses. But it will look again at £6.5m worth of payments, which it has said could represent another breach.SunSport learned that the commission have yet to tell the Toffees or the League when they will reach a decision despite both parties pushing for an answer.The Premier League claims the disputed £6.5m should be added to the club’s spending as it was used for day-to-day running costs. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSBut Everton insist it should be removed as stadium costs do not count towards PSR calculations.Everton were initially docked five points last season for the £16m breach, which was reduced to two points due to an early guilty plea and the fact they were being punished for overspending in successive seasons.Every Premier League club’s most famous and also most surprising fanIn the same season, Everton were docked ten points for overspending in the 2021/22 campaign, which was later reduced to six – resulting in a total of eight points deducted last term.The club are contesting the alleged £6.5m breach so will not be let off lightly if found guilty, meaning another two-point penalty is possible.Everton are confident they will not face PSR charges for the 2023-24 season.
