Football Insider reporter Wayne Veysey provided a promising update he's heard on the situation, saying Everton could see their points deduction vastly reduced upon appeal and instead receive a punishment of between "three to six points" docked once the process concludes. The report said:
"Everton sources with knowledge of the situation have said the club are confident the 10-point punishment, which comes into immediate effect, will be “significantly reduced”."
The Toffees' charge from an independent commission relates to a £124.5 million loss that was recorded during the 2021/22 campaign, which was over the permitted £105 million figure a club is allowed to lose over a period of three years.

Labour MP for West Derby Ian Byrne has tabled an early day motion in the House of Commons regarding Everton's 10-point deduction imposed on them by the Premier League. Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram has also written to the Premier League to express his grievances with the decision to punish Everton in such a manner.
The Premier League announced on Friday that Everton were to be docked 10 points with immediate effect after an independent commission found them guilty of breaking the league's Profitability and Sustainability rules.
The sanction leaves the Toffee's level on points with Burnley at the bottom of the table, plunging them back into the relegation dogfight.
Four wins in their last seven league games left Sean Dyche's side just one point off the top half, but attention will once again turn back to a scrap near the bottom.
In the motion table by MP Byrne, he requested the "suspension of all proceedings and sanctions made by the Commission until the regulator makes its own determination," adding: "This House condemns the grossly unjust points deduction imposed on Everton Football Club by a Premier League commission.
"(The motion) declares that sporting sanctions unfairly punish supporters and notices the improper dismissal of extraordinary mitigating circumstances outlined by Everton."
Mayor Rotheram was keen to point out in a letter to Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, that the punishment handed out to Everton did not fit the crime.

Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell has bemoaned their 'wholly disproportionate' points penalty and insisted the club will use the 'unjust' ruling as 'additional fuel'
In his first comments since last week's decision, Thelwell hit out at the verdict which stripped 'hard-earned points' from their tally, whilst also issuing a rallying cry to staff and supporters alike.
'The clear and tangible impact on our league position because of that ruling is clear to see in the Premier League table.' He wrote in a message on the club's website. 'We return to action five places lower than the 14th position held following our hard-fought victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
'The three points from that victory may no longer be accounted for in the table - nor seven other hard-earned points amassed during this season.

Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell has bemoaned their 'wholly disproportionate' points penalty and insisted the club will use the 'unjust' ruling as 'additional fuel'.
The Merseyside club were hit with the division's biggest points deduction after being found to be in breach of league profit and sustainability rules.
It plunged Sean Dyche’s side to 19th in the table, above Burnley on goal difference alone. The club immediately confirmed its intention to appeal the decision.
The Toffees make their return to action on Sunday in a mouth-watering clash with Manchester United under the lights at Goodison Park, when Thelwell expects players' to showcase their 'unwavering' spirt.
In his first comments since last week's decision, Thelwell hit out at the verdict which stripped 'hard-earned points' from their tally, whilst also issuing a rallying cry to staff and supporters alike.
'The clear and tangible impact on our league position because of that ruling is clear to see in the Premier League table.' He wrote in a message on the club's website. 'We return to action five places lower than the 14th position held following our hard-fought victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
'The three points from that victory may no longer be accounted for in the table - nor seven other hard-earned points amassed during this season.
'But what does remain in place is the unity, focus and determination that helped earn those points on the field of play - now supplemented by the additional fuel of what we believe is a wholly disproportionate ruling.
'We are rallying in the face of a sporting sanction in the only way we can - and that is our focus and hard work in supporting the team in delivering to their fullest on the pitch.'
Everton had gone into the international break on an improved run of five wins in their last nine league games after starting the campaign with three consecutive defeats.
Despite their new surroundings, their form remains unaffected and Thelwell reckons the side will take the 'camaraderie and bravery' displayed in those performances into upcoming matches, starting with the visit of Erik ten Hag's side.
He added: 'That spirit remains strong - unwavering. Sean and the players are fully focused on the work that lies ahead. And everybody at Finch Farm is united.
'We know that every Evertonian is behind us. That is never taken for granted, but always hugely appreciated and valued. We feel the strength of support, and we will continue to use that backing to drive us on.'
