In response to questions about whether Everton will be docked points this season, David Ornstein said that there was “no indication” that the Toffees will be penalized.
Due to allegations of breaking the Premier League’s financial fair play regulations, the Toffees were scheduled to appear before an independent commission on October 25. However, there have been rumors that the process has started behind closed doors and in secret [Daily Mail, 18 October].
Ornstein has stated that there is currently no indication as to which way the decision may go, and there has not been an official time frame set for when any sanctions would be issued should the Toffees be found guilty.
whether or not Everton will receive punishment, and if so, how much. Thus, the possibilities are neither increasing nor decreasing. According to reports today, the issue is expected to be resolved by next Thursday, with the verdict being announced at a later time.
Everton will be hoping to clear their name as this seems to have come as a surprise to them. They feel they have been working with the Premier League to completely abide by the rules.
“Some of their opponents hold the opposite opinion and want them to pay a price for suffering such significant financial losses.
Given the ambiguity of the current timeline and the little amount that Everton can realistically do to address the matter until the decision is revealed “at a later date,” there isn’t much use worrying about a potential punishment at this time.
In the upcoming weeks, Sean Dyche and his team should only concentrate on gaining as many points as they can to put the Toffees in a stronger position and be ready for the worst case scenario. They won’t have lost time worrying about something beyond their control if they escape unharmed.
