BREAKING: The alternate punishment Premier league FFP will likely implement on Everton apart from point deduction

Former Everton scout Bryan King has expressed concerns over the financial implications of the club’s points deduction due to breaches of financial fair play regulations. King suggests that instead of point deductions, a fine and a warning would be more appropriate for Everton.

Everton has already faced a six-point deduction this season, which was reduced from an initial 10-point sanction following an appeal. However, there is a possibility that the club could face an additional four-point deduction for a second charge.

King highlighted the potential financial losses that could result from the points deductions, especially if Everton were competing for a place in the Champions League. He argues that the financial stakes are high and that a monetary fine, coupled with a warning, would be a more suitable punishment, allowing the club to move forward without further jeopardizing its financial situation.

Everton’s season has been tumultuous, with issues including an ongoing takeover, the construction of a new stadium, and financial problems. The team’s performance on the pitch has also been a cause for concern, with the threat of relegation looming in a challenging 2024 season.
