The Toffees were dealt another blow in their turbulent season as they were handed a further two-point deduction by the Premier League for breaching their financial rules, having already been docked 10 points in November.  That penalty was later reduced to six on appeal, before the club were hit with a second breach, which relates to the three-year accounting period ending in the 2022-23 campaign. The first was connected to the three-year period that ended in the 2021-22 season.

'We're going down, we're losing,' the manager said, playing the way they'd played in the Championship, high tempo with the fans behind us, making it a miserable atmosphere.'

Everton are circling the drain, according to a detailed review published over the past 20 years, they are the MOST likely established club to disband, have a scoring crisis, and a points deduction could be forthcoming

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 5, 2023
Everton is the club with the most likely to relegate this season among the Premier League's 'established' teams, a group of 13 clubs that have each played at least three seasons in the top flight prior to the 2023-24 campaign. Comprehensive study of struggling Premier League clubs over the past 20 years has highlighted Everton's 'circling the drain' cycle, where relegation is likely without significant off-field investment and creativity. In fact, this kind of boost at Goodison Park does not appear to be on the horizon; the exact opposite is true. Everton is carrying a heavy debt. Fans of Farhad Moshiri are growing dissatisfied with his ownership. Everton's most likely concern is if they are found guilty of a violation of the League's financial fair play laws. Any sentence involving points would be highly questionable, and a hearing in October will bring it to a conclusion. Things look no better this summer, with more than £45 million in talent sold this summer, including striker Moise Khan and home-grown starlet Ellis Simms.
