This will be a bad blow to Everton performance this season because if a second penalty is imposed (deduction of 10) for Everton this season of course they will drop into the relegation zone. Moreover, Everton recent performance has not improved much, of course it will really affect the mentality of Dyche men if they are proven guilty and are sentenced to a point deduction again. Previously, there was a lot of news circulating that Manchester City also violated many rules, but only Everton were sanctioned this season. I think the authorities in the Premier League don't have enough strong evidence to impose punishment on Manchester City.
But for the time being, the second punishment for Everton has not yet been proven strongly if they violated financial regulations and is still under investigation. I hope Everton can escape accusations of violations because Everton is a team with many good players this season so they will be able to turn things around to improve their ranking if these accusations are not proven later. Apart from that, in today's match Everton performed well by winning the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 1-0. In this match Everton did not appear too impressive but they were able to maintain their advantage through the goal scored by Gomes.
Indeed it would be a very big blow for them, cause they've been working really hard to come out of the relegation zone due to the 1st points deduction and currently they're to face another one, this could really weaken the morale of some players to give up already cause Everton is not a top team that could fight or have a very good squad like City that could still manage to finish top 10 even though they get 20points deduction, they're an average team in the EPL still trying to grow up and this is a big problem for them.
Well their prayers should be that even if the rumors of a second deduction is true, then it would be deducted next season and not this, cause I don't think Everton would escape relegation if they get 10 points deducted from them. Well all hope ain't lost yet and I sincerely hope they get out if this FFP issues, so as to allow the team focus on their target currently which is avoiding relegation.
For anyone, this punishment is certainly a very heavy punishment for the club that received sanctions. Everton received a point deduction in November and this affected their mentality, but in the end they recovered and managed to get out of the relegation zone, but apparently they got bad news. for the second time in one season and if that really happens I think the players' mental state will decline further and it is very likely that they will not be able to get out of the relegation zone in conditions like that.
Yes, hopefully this punishment will happen next season, not this season, so that Everton still has the opportunity to continue playing in the Premier League and next season they will start preparing to play better even though they have to carry out the point deduction penalty, because after all, as you said, they are just an ordinary club. Of course, it will be difficult for them to recovered if the points deduction occurs this seasons.
