Everton deducted 10 points for FFP breachesToffees appealing Premier League's decisionCarragher questions delayGetty/Premier LeagueWHAT HAPPENED?
The Toffees were docked 10 points in November for breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules. Everton branded the decision "wholly disproportionate and unjust" and announced they would appeal the verdict. Months on from the announcement, the Merseyside outfit are yet to receive an answer to their appeal, and Carragher has questioned the delay.

Carragher wrote on X: "What is the hold up on the appeals decision regarding Everton's 10pt deduction? Two weeks have passed, this is surely a matter of urgency for Everton and the clubs around them. I'm sure they and the PL know their decision by now.
"Are the PL waiting until after Everton's home game on Monday because they fear the reaction?"

While Everton await the verdict, they currently sit 18th in the table – one point from safety. If they are able to have their 10-point deduction reduced, that could provide a huge boost in their bid to stave off relegation. However, the Toffees could reportedly face another points deduction – which could plunge them even deeper into the mire.
WHAT NEXT?
Sean Dyche's lowly Everton, who next face fellow Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace at Goodison Park next Monday, will reportedly learn whether their appeal has been successful or not later this month.
