Premier League club Everton has received a two-point deduction for another breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
This latest charge comes after Everton, along with Nottingham Forest, was charged in January for breaching PSR rules over a period ending with the 2022/23 season. Nottingham Forest was handed a four-point deduction and has since appealed against the decision.
Prior to the deduction, Everton sat 15th in the Premier League table, four points above the bottom three. However, they now drop below Brentford into 16th place on 27 points, two points and two places above 18th-placed Luton.
This isn’t the first time Everton has faced penalties for PSR breaches. In November, they were initially deducted 10 points for exceeding permitted losses by £19.5m over a period ending with the 2021/22 season. However, this deduction was later reduced to six points following a successful appeal.
