Everton’s chances of remaining in the Premier League with a 12-point deduction are in doubt, according to Gary Neville.
The Blues might be punished “extremely severely” if they are found guilty of breaking the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations, according to a report published in The Telegraph on Wednesday, October 25.
According to reports, the league has suggested a 12-point penalty that, if put into effect right away, would drop Everton to the bottom of the standings with a score of minus five.
On Thursday, October 26, Neville, a former Manchester United right-back, was asked on X whether he thought Sean Dyche would keep Everton in the Premier League this season.
The Sky Sports analyst thinks the Toffees will win without losing any points.
Yes, he replied, but not with a deduction of points.
Everton has no chance of staying up if they receive a 12-point deduction.
With nine games remaining in the season, the Blues would be 11 points from safety and in the bottom half of the standings after such a penalty.
That is a significant obstacle, particularly as teams above them will ultimately begin to gain ground.
The fact that this league is currently dominated by four extremely awful teams—Burnley, Luton, Sheffield United, and Bournemouth—is currently Everton’s only hope.
Given that the Blues’ record this season indicates that they are only marginally superior to them, you would think that two of those clubs could overcome the deficit if they were given a 12-point advantage.
It appears awfully bad.
However, because this is the worst-case scenario for the Toffees, it is likely that they will face severe punishment, if any at all, which will undoubtedly be challenged.
Should that occur, Farhad Moshiri must be permanently removed from Goodison Park and Merseyside.
