Everton handed 10-point penalty for FFP rule breach
theathletic.com
Everton have been handed a 10-point deduction this season for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules. The club was referred to an independent commission in March for alleged breaches relating to the 2021-22 season and a hearing took place last month.

    I think some people need to realise that it takes a lot more time to investigate 115 charges.

    For those that dont follow the championship where this has occurred a few times, the sentence almost always gets halved on appeal, so the end deduction will be more like 5 points.
