It’s not official yet but in England they assume Everton will be docked 12 points for breaching Financial Fair Play regulations. If this information is confirmed, the Toffees will move to last place in the Premier League.
After 12 rounds played, Everton have 14 points and are in 14th position, so if 12 is subtracted from them, they will be left two at the bottom of the standings. A position now occupied by Burnley, with 4 points, while Sheffield United (5) and Luton (6) complete the relegation places. Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth is the team that marks permanence (9).
According to sports journalist Steve Brown, The independent commission that investigated the case has reached its verdict which is expected to be announced during the Premier League weekend.
Last March, the Premier referred Everton to an independent commission for allegedly failing to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations last season. According to the regulations, clubs can record losses of a maximum of 105 million pounds (119 million euros) over three years. although due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this regulation has been made more flexible.
The allowable debt is tripled
Everton is already registered a total loss of almost 372 million pounds in the last three seasons, triple what is allowed. But the Liverpool club is attributing at least £170m to the impact of the pandemic. Never since the creation of the Premier League in 1992 has a club received this type of punishment.
Everton is in the process of being sold after its owner, the British-Iranian tycoon Farhad Moshiriwill agree to sell 94% of its shareholding in the club to the American company 777Partners.
