Its hard for me not to feel sorry for Everton right now. Its hard to see a team get punished so badly for making mistakes with money. It feels like all of their hard work for those 14 points has been wasted now that 10 points have been taken away. I get the need for rules, but this seems a bit harsh, especially when you hear that bigger clubs like Manchester City are also being investigated in the same way but arent facing any instant consequences. Seriously, I hope Everton can get through this rough patch.

In the second line, its clear that things are very bad for Everton. They really suffered when they fell into the relegation zone, especially since they were doing pretty well before the penalty. As they try to get back points against both strong and weak teams, it will be hard for them. I just hope that they can keep going and find the strength to do so. These events could either break them or make them better as a team. It will be clear in due time.
Everton have been docked 10 points, the heaviest punishment ever handed to any EPL side, for breaching financial rules, leading them down to the relegation zone of the EPL log, the severity of the punishment surprised Everton, who feel a sporting sanction for what they believe is a disagreement over accountancy interpretations is unjust and they would want to appeal, the decision has put into focus other Premier League clubs  investigations and how those clubs will be dealt with if also found guilty.

 Both Manchester City and Chelsea are being tried and could face more worst sanctions than that of Everton, well with this crazy sanction, I think it could kill the morale of the team and make them struggle more because this is so heartbreaking but the team needs to play with hopes of the verdict being overturned.
It is strange that they started with Everton and not with Chelsea or Manchester City, although everyone knows about the fictitious bookmakers who allegedly sponsor Manchester City or Chelsea, in which Roman Abramovich invested billions through intermediary firms and it is strange that before this in the EPL all this was not noticed, and now suddenly noticed and took points off Everton. Although the team is clearly not one of the leaders and it is not clear what they want to achieve with this decision in the EPL. Perhaps they want Everton to definitely drop out of the EPL this season.
