Everton to Appeal 'Disproportionate and Unjust' 10-Point Deduction

Club, players, and fans unite in defiance as Manchester City faces similar charges

Everton Football Club has been deducted 10 points by the Premier League for breaching financial sustainability rules, dropping the team from 14th to 19th in the standings. The club has announced its intention to appeal the decision, describing it as 'wholly disproportionate and unjust'.
Everton's director of football, Kevin Thelwell, and manager, Sean Dyche, have both expressed their shock and disagreement with the decision, stating that it has united the club and will serve as 'additional fuel' for the remainder of the season.
Everton's players have also expressed their defiance, with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin stating that the deduction has not fazed the team and they remain focused on their upcoming games.
Everton fans and local politicians have voiced their outrage at the decision, with protests planned for upcoming games and calls for the matter to be debated in the UK parliament. A group of fans is also consulting lawyers with a view to suing the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Manchester City, currently leading the Premier League, is facing over 100 charges of breaking the league's financial rules. City's manager, Pep Guardiola, has asked for patience before deciding whether the club is guilty, stating that the cases of Everton and City are 'completely different'.
