Everton could face another points deduction: when could it happen?

Everton is once again under the threat of a points deduction due to alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations. Last season, the Toffees were docked eight points, but this campaign's potential punishment might be less severe—if it happens at all.

Details: Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness revealed that the current case involving a possible three-point deduction for Everton has stalled due to the more significant ongoing investigation into 115 alleged Financial Fair Play violations by Manchester City. The critical date for Everton’s case is February 2025.

Quote: "I was hoping this would already be resolved. It shows how much the Premier League is tied up with the Man City case. It might come down to resources. Hopefully, this will be addressed after the Friedkin takeover is finalized. It will be part of their review, so they’ll have their say on it.

Everton remains confident that this is nothing serious, just an issue with accounting and auditing. Let’s wait and see. February seems delayed, but the Premier League has a lot of legal matters ongoing," Wyness explained.

Reminder: The completion of Dan Friedkin’s takeover of Everton will not only influence this case but also determine whether Sean Dyche remains in charge of the team.
