Everton will remain defiant and resilient, even in the face of an ‘unjust’ threat of relegation, as they front up to their points deduction head on.
That is the message from skipper James Tarkowski, who is blunt in stating that talk of an appeal, and extensive protests planned by the fans can not affect his side, as they answer the charge in the only place they can…out on the pitch. “There has been a lot going on, that we know. But our job as players and the coaching staff is to prepare to go out on that pitch, perform well and pick up points,” he explained.
"Everything else that is going to happen around us, we can't affect it, we just focus on what we can do. We showed against United how we will prepare and give our all for this Club, and we will continue to do that.” “We know our fans are with us, and everyone in that dressing room is with us so that's what we will do - keep the intensity and mentality that was there against United,” he said.

Andy Burnham has said he will seek an explanation from Sky Sports after an interview with the mayor of Manchester regarding Everton ’s 10-point deduction was shelved.
The Goodison Park season ticket holder has said the Premier League ’s decision to punish Everton so severely was “an abuse of process” and “regulatory malpractice.”
Andy Burnham has said he will seek an explanation from Sky Sports after an interview with the mayor of Manchester regarding Everton ’s 10-point deduction was shelved.
The Goodison Park season ticket holder has said the Premier League ’s decision to punish Everton so severely was “an abuse of process” and “regulatory malpractice.”
Burnham has written a letter to the Premier League arguing the decision should be declared “null and void” because the investigatory process had changed and was unfair. He has also demanded government intervention from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
And he is now raging after an interview he had given to Sky Sports News at the weekend did not air. Sky Sports have been contacted for comment by Mirror Football . “I don’t know why it wasn’t broadcast and I’d very much like an explanation,” Burnham told the Daily Mail. “As a former Cabinet Minister, I don’t expect third parties to decide what I can and cannot say.”
Before Sunday’s game against Manchester United at Goodison Park, Burnham told reporters: “I am not saying Everton Football Club does not have a case to answer, clearly it does have a case to answer. But that is not the question.
“The question in this situation is, has there been a fair process? After studying the case, I have concluded that there has not been a fair process, there has been a highly flawed process. I would go as far to say there has been an abuse of process.

Sky have a big say in how football is run so they're hardly neutral. Who is? Definitely not the league.

Everton have already been deducted 10 points by the Premier League – and now the club is awaiting feedback on its latest set of accounts. The Premier League imposed its biggest ever sanction on Everton in November after finding the club had breached its financial rules. Everton were “shocked and disappointed” by the decision, which they described as “wholly disproportionate and unjust” and later launched an appeal. The club are waiting for an appeal board to hear their case before the end of the 2023/24 season, but will find out their fate on a separate issue much sooner. Everton and the other 19 Premier League clubs had to submit their accounts for the football year up to June 2023 before December 31 and will be informed of any breaches by January 15. The Toffees and relegation rivals Nottingham Forest are said to be two clubs most at risk of breaching FFP rules in their latest set of accounts, reports the Times. The Liverpool Echo have reported that the Premier League could, in theory, punish Everton twice for the same issue, because the latest accounts will cover a time period already investigated. Everton hope that their transparency and their different approach over more recent transfer windows will be taken into consideration, but they could find themselves fighting on two fronts soon. On December 1, Everton released a statement which read: “Everton Football Club has today lodged with the Chair of the Premier League’s Judicial Panel its appeal of the decision by a Premier League Commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the Club. An Appeal Board will now be appointed to hear the case.” The chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel, Murray Rosen KC, appointed the three-person board who heard Everton’s case the first time. He is now in charge of appointing a judicial panel of between 15 and 20 members for the appeal. The Premier League’s original statement read: “During the proceedings, the Club admitted it was in breach of the PSRs for the period ending Season 2021/22 but the extent of the breach remained in dispute. “Following a five-day hearing last month, the Commission determined that Everton FC’s PSR Calculation for the relevant period resulted in a loss of £124.5m, as contended by the Premier League, which exceeded the threshold of £105m permitted under the PSRs. The commission concluded that a sporting sanction in the form of a 10-point deduction should be imposed.” The Everton Fan Advisory Board has complained that the Premier League’s punishment unfairly impacts fans. “One of the guiding principles of the Fan Led Review is to ensure that regulatory sanctions should avoid impacting fans, wherever possible,” FAB’s chair, Dave Kelly, wrote. “It [the 10-point penalty] directly impacts supporters, who have had no influence on the running of the club and have made clear their concerns about its leadership, direction and operations. “Such a severe penalty also potentially places at risk the significant benefits to the community that the new stadium development will bring in regenerating North Liverpool and providing a boost to job creation and the local economy.” www.mirror.co.uk/
