Everton Drops Appeal Against Premier League Points Deduction After Staving Off Relegation
The deduction announced last month marked the second time Everton got points docked off their tally in the ongoing Premier League season. In November 2023, Everton were handed a 10-point deduction for exceeding permitted losses by £19.5m over a period ending with the 2021/22 season.
Premier League outfit Everton on Friday withdrew their appeal against a two-point reduction for breaching the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). In January this year, Everton was charged by the Premier League for breaching the permitted Profit and Sustainability thresholds for the assessment period ending 2022/23. Last month, they were docked two points for breaching the Premier League's PSR.
