CNN —An independent Appeal Board has reduced Everton FC’s sanction for breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs) from 10 points to six.
It comes after the Merseyside club successfully appealed a November decision by an independent commission to deduct points for breaching financial rules.
The successful appeal moved Everton, which has failed to register a win in their last five matches, up to 15th in the Premier League table.
That was a reference to the Premier League charging Everton with a second PSR breach along with Nottingham Forest in January.
In response to the latest charge, the Liverpool-based club criticised “a clear deficiency in the Premier League’s rules.”
