      Everton could face THIRD point deduction after being docked eight points to leave Premier League future in serious doubt

      by

      EVERTON could face a THIRD points deduction – after “escaping” with a loss of just two points for their admitted breach of Prem Profitability and Sustainability Rules.But there is no possibility of a hearing into the alleged extra £6.5m loss before next season.Sean Dyche’s Everton could be hit with ANOTHER point penaltyCredit: PAThe Toffees are alleged to have made an extra £6.5m lossCredit: GettyAnd Everton announced the club WILL appeal against the latest verdict as every single point could prove the difference between survival and relegation.The punishment drops Everton down one place from 15th to 16th and now just two points above Luton, who fill the final relegation slot. Without their deductions, the Toffees would be 12 points clear of trouble in 14th.A three man independent commission ruled that the Goodison club’s latest breach – with “permitted” losses of £121.6m over three seasons – was worth a five point deduction.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHowever, that was reduced by three points after Prem lawyers accepted Everton’s “double jeopardy” argument – the six points already deducted included a calculation over two of the three years involved in the latest charge.The Commission gave Everton two points back for that, plus a further point for their “early” guilty plea.However, the Commission revealed that Prem legal chiefs want to pin a further £6.5m of losses on Everton, representing the difference between the club’s initial accounts and the final figure for the three years.That was after an attempt to amend the charge to add extra losses of almost £17m – relating to share capitalisation by the club – was rejected by the Commission.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERThe three-man panel, though, led by James Drake KC, will allow the Prem to argue that £6.5m in “interest payments” which Everton insist were “directly attributable to the club’s new stadium” should be the subject of further sanction – although that will not be until next season.Over the three day hearing last month, Everton admitted they had allowable losses of £62.7m in 2022-23, taking their three-season loss to £121.6m – £16.6m above the permitted maximum of £105m.MOTD commentator shares ‘scariest position in football’ as he takes fans inside Premier League stadiumEverton’s “silk”, James Segan KC, argued that, despite the clear breach, “all roads lead to no further sanction”.The main thrusts of his argument were the “double jeopardy” principle and that Everton had already been deducted six points for their £19.5m 2022 breach, while Nottingham Forest only had four points stripped for a £34.5m breach – a figure greater than Everton’s two-year total amount of overspend.That was rejected by the Commission, which ruled that the starting point for sentence was three points for the breach plus an extra two for the amount.Prem silk Adam Lewis KC accepted the argument of mitigation for the two season overlap although he opposed the extra point back – referring to the fact that Everton actually forwarded their accounts for last season two weeks AFTER the December 31 deadline.THE PSR STATE OF PLAYWhere clubs in danger stand…
      Nottingham Forest
      Deducted four points for breaching spending limit by £34.563m. Have launched an appeal, with final decision expected by early May.
      Everton
      Initial 10 point deduction for 2021-22 breaches reduced to six points on appeal. Now deducted a further two points.
      Manchester City
      Etihad club emphatically denies the 115 allegations laid against them in February 2023. The lengthy Commission case has been scheduled to start in October or November but a final decision is not expected until March or April 2025.
      Chelsea
      Blues chiefs flagged up illicit payments made to agents and others during the Roman Abramovich era. Fined £8.6m by Uefa but still to be formally charged by the Prem despite an ongoing investigation.
      Leicester
      Foxes 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 next term if they are promoted back to the top flight.

      Despite that, the commission ruled that Everton did deserve extra credit, although it dismissed Segan’s plea for the point sanction to be suspended until next season.In a statement, Everton confirmed the club “have begin the preparations to appeal” the decision.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Goodison outfit added: “Everton is extremely concerned by the inconsistency of different commissions in terms of points deductions applied.”Under Prem rules, the outcome of any appeal will be announced by May 24, five days after the end of the season, although it is expected the ruling would come by mid-May.

      Everton could be plunged into further financial turmoil as Premier League rivals threaten £100m lawsuits

      by

      EVERTON face further financial chaos if five rival clubs have taken up their right to sue — and the Toffees could be hit for more than £100million.SunSport understands that at least one of Burnley, Leeds, Leicester, Nottingham Forest and Southampton have signalled their intention to claim.Sean Dyche’s Toffees might see legal action from at least one top-flight rivalCredit: RexJordan Pickford and Co could see Everton face a financial nightmareCredit: PASean Dyche’s Goodison outfit earned a partial win when their ten-point punishment for breaching Prem Profitability and Sustainability Rules was slashed to six on appeal.But the initial November verdict came alongside a ruling by independent commission chairman David Phillips QC that rival clubs could demand compensation.He gave all five outfits 28 days from the Nov 17 publication of the findings to register their interest in making a claim.While the clubs approached have declined to make any comment, at least one planned to take legal action.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe confirmation in the appeal findings that Everton DID gain a “sporting advantage” by their PSR breach will add weight to any action.Burnley and Leicester are thought to have the strongest cases as they can argue they were direct casualties of Everton’s misconduct.Clarets went down in 18th place in 2021-22, the season Everton breached the three-term limit of £105m in “allowable losses”.And the Foxes took the same position last campaign, when the Goodison club was initially charged.Most read in FootballHOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALLBoth could argue they missed around £50m up front — the difference between the minimum Prem TV money and the parachute payment for relegation.They may also seek to include lost revenue from gate money and sponsorship plus the cost of ‘forced sales’ of players at knockdown prices.Every Premier League stadium ranked by the number of pubs nearby with one boasting over 130 local boozersThat list might include winger Harvey Barnes, who could have commanded more than the £38m Newcastle paid relegated Leicester last July.Leeds’ potential claim is likely to be just £3.7m — the difference in prize money between 18th and 19th — as they would have gone down regardless.Saints, who would have come bottom in any event, and Forest — who could open a floodgate for claims against themselves after being charged with a PSR breach in 2022-23 — are seen as less likely to have claimed.
