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...
Surviving is winning, that's the complex part of the whole football system. It's not an easy run for the Toffees, everything have been complex for them this season, it started when they got charged for breaking one of the essential rules and they have to settle for lesser position because their points got deducted. Everton in danger as they're close to the relegation zone again and this time, Sean Dyche and the players will fight for their spot in the English Premier League because if they would continue to fight, they will stay firm and strong for whatever challenges that comes their way.
Yes, those 10 points taken off them as sanctions would have been crucial for them. They could have finished 12th, which is not a great result, but I think a comfortable one for them and for their play in recent seasons, which frankly doesn't please their fans. I'm not ruling out that they could easily drop out this season.
