Everton Docked 10 Points in Unprecedented Premier League Sanction

Club to appeal 'wholly disproportionate and unjust' decision, faces potential compensation claims from rival clubs

Everton Football Club has been docked 10 points, the heaviest punishment ever given to a Premier League club, for breaching the league's profitability and sustainability rules.
Everton is now 19th in the league table and open to potential compensation claims from other clubs, including Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leicester City and Burnley.
Everton has announced its intention to appeal the decision, calling the sanction 'wholly disproportionate and unjust'.
The appeal is expected to be formally filed by the end of the week and heard later this season.
Everton's appeal is likely to focus on mitigating factors for the breach and the issue of disproportionality.
