Currently, Everton is the only English Premier League club that's being handed a 10-point deduction though other clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City are also under investigation but no decision has been made concerning the other two clubs but it's believed that if they're found guilty of breaching financial rules, they're also gonna face similar punishment.
The point deduction is a very big blow to Everton and has thrown to into fighting for survival in the league again this season. But in the club's statement, they said they're gonna appeal the decision but I don't know if they're gonna successfully overturn the decision when they appeal
Chelsea and Manchester City are both great EPL teams and sanctioning them relegation, that's part of the deal that I do not agree with. EPL will lose revenues and supporters from Manchester City and Chelsea because these are the top teams in England. I wouldn't support that idea, rather they should settle for points deduction, the exact same thing that happen to Juventus in Seria A and currently happening to Everton. Every Toffees player and supporters are hoping for good results this season,  Everton have appeal and they awaits the reply from FFP body.
Everton got an unexpected surprise, as a club that always finished in last place was required to be more careful.
Clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Man United are preparing to improve their performance. If it is proven that Chelsea and Man City are guilty then they deserve appropriate punishment. Deduction of points is very detrimental to the team and also to the mentality of the players.
