England Premier Soccer League
Shocking official announcement: due to financial violations of FFP norms, Everton was awarded points -10 in the
England Premier Soccer League
table of scores (in exams or sports league)
The team has 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats (14-17 goals for and against) and is down to 19th place and the relegation zone, just ahead of the team with the same number of points, but with worse goals for and against.
It's nothing more than

3rd time in history that such capital punishment has been used: 1st 1996/97 Middlesbrough failed to notify opponents in time due to a flu outbreak in the squad

They were deducted 3 points, which cut them down to League One; 2nd time around 2009/10 Portsmouth were deducted 9 points due to bankruptcy, but they were already at the bottom of the table with 28 raw points that season as well.
Toffee's accounts were one of the focal points of litigation a while back, and this year

Charges were laid against him and referred to an Independent Commission of Inquiry (ICI) for investigation. During the course of the investigation, Everton admitted to breaching the
England Premier Soccer League
version of FFP, but still disagree on the extent of the violation.
"Following a five-day hearing last month, the Independent Commission of Inquiry (ICI) found that Everton's losses for the relevant period were £124.5 million, in excess of the £105 million allowed under the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (FFP/PSR). The Committee considered that a penalty of points deduction of 10 points should be imposed." The Toffees also issued a fiery statement after receiving the fine, describing the sanction by the Independent Commission of Inquiry as 'wholly inappropriate and unfair' and stating that they have opened the appeal process.
Iverton was sentenced to capital punishment deducted 10 points, immediately triggered a hot debate in the British media. Many fans commentators celebrities, not a few neighbors

In the past, the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) had expressed its dissatisfaction: "The Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) has not been able to make any progress.

115 charges have been brought against him and still no results; Iverton was only charged with 1 and received such a heavy fine." Of course, everyone knows that

The financial foul play scenario is far more complex than the Toffees and it is difficult to come to a complete and fair conclusion and award in a short period of time.

What is the situation and why exactly did Everton suffer such a harsh punishment? Well, if the Toffees were heavily sanctioned, the

Let's break it down one by one and talk about it.
on the basis of
England Premier Soccer League
The announcement puts Everton's losses for the 'relevant period' (2019/20 to 2021/22) at £124.5m, a figure that exceeds the £105m allowed by FFP/PSR. Looking at the figures on the books alone, Everton's irregularities aren't too excessive, which is one of the reasons why the Toffees are unhappy with the ruling. However, as disclosed by the English media.
England Premier Soccer League
It was felt that the FFP/PSR loss allowance was already very generous and therefore clubs should not be allowed to exceed "or even come close to that figure".
In the course of the investigation Everton had also stated that the club had suffered considerable losses due to a number of force majeure situations. For example, it had to abandon the Russian-Ukrainian war because of the Russian

sponsor support, amounting to a loss of £200 million in sponsorship. For example, the termination of the contract of Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson, the club's key player, after he was arrested for child sexual abuse, affected performance and the chain.
However, the Independent Commission of Inquiry (ICI) believes differently, and that Everton chose to take the risk knowing that the line might be crossed, and that the Toffees must be penalized accordingly: "Everton's desire to improve their on-field performance was understandable, but it led them to risk breaching the FFP/PSR and allowing the deficit to be exceeded. Everton themselves have identified the problem statistically, the consequences of exceeding the limit are serious and Everton must bear significant responsibility for the consequences of this through their irresponsible actions".
Of course many would argue that Everton has had enough bad luck with the

Before and after, Everton had a lot of other good things that he could barely keep up with, but the bad things were mostly divided and dog-eared in the past, but with this time of being

The 10-point deduction for the penalty is nothing compared to that. However, there's one thing to be said for Iverton in the

In terms of that, it is indeed incredibly fortunate. If sanctions had been imposed in 2021/22 or 2022/23, Alverton would probably be struggling to survive in the EFL (Championship, League One, League Two), which has a much stricter financial grip and more frequent point deductions. Ivoryton exceeded FFP/PSR by just £20m but were

The news of the points-10 capital punishment sentence came as many fans celebrity commentators, not least the neighboring

, can't help but sympathize with Taffy:
Manchester City
Being charged with 115 financial irregularities may not even be a problem; Everton is a points-10 on a single check.
After 2 nightmare seasons in 2021/22 and 2022/23, Alverton, under the leadership of Sean Dyche, have been playing ugly football this season, but the pressure is not as big as last 2 seasons due to the weak promotion teams (Bonhams, Sheffield United, Luton). Alverton's original points tally was 14th before they were cut down to the relegation zone.
