I think it is a move in a wrong direction for the FA to deduct 10 points from Everton at this point in time when the club is facing relegation battles, this will only dampen their confidence and also jeopardize everything they have worked for so far. Everton still has the right to an appeal though but if they lose the appeal then it would be very disastrous for them and may cost them their chances of escaping relegation so let's hope that everything goes in Everton's favour when the hearing for their appeal comes up.
That's the consequence if they don't obey the rules there was no way to avoid it if Everton had done it, Everton have narrowly avoided relegation after their struggles last month but unfortunately the problem is not over yet and clearly has an impact on the players' mentality, imagine if Everton deducted 10 points then they only have 7 points while this league only has 17 matches remaining meaning that Everton is definitely one of the candidates for relegation. Honestly, I think this is unfair and hope Everton can get past this however, I want to see Everton in the Premier League next season.
The impact that would occur if Everton received another points deduction was clearly very large, everyone involved in the club would experience psychological pressure, and the club would be threatened with relegation. However, according to news circulating, the Premier League decision is not yet final, and Everton is currently waiting for a final decision. There is an opportunity for Everton to appeal if they receive another points deduction. The same thing also happened to Nottingham Forest, they are also waiting for the same threat that Everton is currently facing.
This news has caused various reactions from fans who reject the sanctions that threaten their favorite club, and I think everyone will return to speculating about other Premier League clubs, namely Chelsea and Manchester City. Two clubs were also reported to indicated have violated FFP rules, but so far no sanctions have been imposed on them. Despite all that, I predict Everton and Nottingham Forest will still be punished, even though we hope they can stay in the Premier League next season.
