Club await outcome of their appeal against 10-point sanctionMidfielder says he understands fans’ frustration
James Garner has said Everton’s 10-point deduction is playing on his mind as the club anxiously await the outcome of an appeal against the biggest sporting sanction in Premier League history.
Everton anticipate a decision this week from the independent commission that heard its appeal against a 10-point sanction for breaching profit and sustainability rules by £19.5m up to 2021-22. The manager, Sean Dyche, has called for the uncertainty over the club’s position to be lifted as a matter of urgency, and tried to focus his players on what they can influence since the punishment was handed down in November.
