After it is filed, the case will be reviewed by an impartial appeals commission made up of individuals who were not on the original commission panel.Everton promised to challenge the decision, stating they were shocked and disappointed by it.

The Premier League claims that Everton acknowledged breaking the profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR) during a five-day hearing.

In the history of the Premier League, just three clubs have had points deducted from them. Three points were taken away from Middlesbrough for missing a match against Blackburn in the 1996–97 season, and nine points were taken away from Portsmouth following their administration in March 2010.
Due to financial violations that were committed several seasons prior, Tottenham was given a 12-point deduction prior to the 1994–1995 season. However, that punishment was subsequently annulled and reduced to six points.
