Funny that last season Everton were in the relegation zone without penalties and miraculously managed to stay in the EPL... Looks like they have a tough task to survive again this season... If they do get a 10 point penalty they won't stand a chance...
With a few games left means Everton have to win a few more games than the teams in the relegation zone at the moment. Actually, I'm sure they will be able to do that if you look at their quality. At least they will be able to survive in the League. This is huge pressure for all Everton officials. I think their chances are 50:50 because a team like Everton can spring a surprise and get good results at the end of the season.
It is true that there is still a chance for Everton to get out of the relegation zone even though the points have been deducted, but it is a pity that Everton continues to have to struggle in the relegation zone. Moreover, this season is really bad, especially since Everton have started to recover and renew their ranking, now their points have been reduced again. So I think it would be better to be relegated straight away than like this when the points improve and go up but are reduced again.
I see the EPL league getting more and more cruel towards teams that don't have money. Everything can be managed with money, you have money, you have power, you can even escape sanctions like Man City and Chelsea, they are safe. but if you don't have money, get ready to struggle in the relegation zone.
