Everton have tumbled down to 19th in the Premier League table as a result of a 10-point deduction.
Everton deducted 10 points in record-breaking punishment
Everton’s 10-point deduction will be considered in UK Parliament after Ian Byrne, Labour MP for West Derby, slammed the punishment handed down by an independent Premier League Commission. The Toffees have fallen back into the thick of a relegation battle after making a solid start to the season under Sean Dyche, with financial problems continuing to wreak havoc at Goodison Park.

Everton were found to have lost £124.5million in 2021/22, with English top-flight clubs permitted to lose a maximum of £105m over a three-year period according to current regulations.
The Toffees were consequently slapped with a huge 10-point penalty – the biggest sporting punishment in Premier League history. Dyche’s side are now level on points with 20th-place Burnley, despite having won four matches this campaign.
In response, Byrne has tabled an early day motion in the House of Commons, which will be considered by MPs this week.
Sean Dyche’s Everton have fallen into the Premier League relegation zone.
“This House condemns the grossly unjust points deduction imposed on Everton Football Club by a Premier League Commission, a punishment lacking any legal or equitable foundation or justification for the level of sanction,” part of the motion read.
“Financial-not-sporting penalties for far more severe breaches have been applied, including the industry-and-community-threatening European Super League.”
