Everton face another hearing into their second breach of Premier League profitability and sustainability rules, raising the possibility of a third points deduction, despite being docked two points for a £16.6m overspend up to 2023.
The financially troubled club were hit with their second points deduction of the season on Monday to leave Sean Dyche’s team 16th, two points above the relegation zone. However, owing to a dispute between Everton and the Premier League over stadium interest payments, the case is unresolved and expected to drag into next season.
