Report: At the conclusion of the current season, Everton might be demoted, according to a startling Premier League AGM disclosure.
At Goodison Park, there is relief following Everton’s four-point return from the Premier League.
As a result, Sean Dyche’s team is now in 15th place, five points ahead of Luton Town, who are currently in 18th place.
Even though things are far from ideal, Everton’s chances of surviving are greatly increased by the fact that points have been returned.
Now, focus will be on the second allegation made against Everton.
For the 2022–2023 season, the Toffees and Nottingham Forest were accused by the Premier League of violating their Profit and Sustainability.
Furthermore, there’s a real chance that the decision will be made after the Premier League season is over.
Everton: An unexpected Premier League AGM
The two teams might not find out their future until after the Premier League season, according to talkSPORT.
According to rumors, a hearing over Forest and Everton’s PSR violations is expected to take place in March, and an independent panel is required to approve the sentence by April 8.
If the two teams file appeals against the penalties imposed, problems can arise.
The appeals of the two teams would need to be approved by the Premier League AGM, which is scheduled for five days following the conclusion of the 2023–2024 season.
Thus, after the season is over, league positions might not change.
Everything about this has been a complete mess. Everton’s petition ought to have been seen as urgent by the Premier League.
In addition, a careful examination of the initial decision would have likely eliminated the necessity for an appeals procedure in the first place.
We appear to be ready for round two at this point.
With any luck, Everton’s six-point deduction sets a precedent going ahead, meaning that when the next verdict is declared, no appeal procedure will be required.
The Premier League will be hoping that the relegation fight is finalized and that any deduction of points won’t have much of an effect on the league standings.
