Well that would be really sad. But Everton's minimum points deduction is 6 points based on what I read. So Everton can fight so that they are not sanctioned with a 10 point deduction again, but getting a 6 point deduction might still give them the opportunity to avoid the relegation zone.

Of course, Everton will definitely appeal against the problem that befell them. In fact, regarding the sanctions for deducting points that they received in November, it seems that Everton have already appealed the first sanction. It's just that perhaps the results have not yet come to light until now. And now Everton is facing a new problem and well this won't be easy for Everton. (

Nottingham Forest is also facing the same problem as Everton. Namely, Nottingham also has the potential to receive the same points deduction as Everton. And if Nottingham also gets points deducted then Nottingham will also be thrown into the relegation zone. And with the inconsistency that Nottingham currently has, I also see that it will be difficult for Nottingham to avoid the relegation zone if they get points deducted.
And regarding Everton, I also hope that their appeal can result in them getting lighter sanctions. Just like Juventus in Serie A last season, which initially received a deduction of 15 points, then thanks to their appeal they finally only got a deduction of 10 points. Which means it is lighter than the initial sanctions decision. I think Everton are capable of doing the same if they appeal well.
Well I hope so too. Because last season Everton fought very hard to avoid the relegation zone. At that time they entered the relegation zone because of their really bad performance since the start of the season. So in the end they changed coaches in the middle of the season and then Everton improved and were able to avoid the relegation zone and were actually almost relegated.
And this season, Everton started well with coach Sean Mark Dyche and in fact, without deducting points, they could be safely around the top 10. But now they have to get involved again with the relegation zone like last season. The difference is that last season they were involved in the relegation zone because of poor performance and now they are involved in the relegation zone because of sanctions for deducting points. Maybe the appeal they submit can result in them only getting the lowest or minimum sanction, namely only 6 points. But if they lose the appeal. then everything will really make Everton have the potential to be eliminated from the EPL. Unless they miraculously win a lot of games the rest of the season.
