Everton deducted 10 points for breach of Premier League financial rulesChelsea and Manchester City have been warned that Everton's 10-point deduction may set a powerful precedent for their own punishments if they are found guilty of allegedly breaching financial rules. The Premier League confirmed on Friday that Everton would be docked points for alleged breaches following a five-day hearing, which took place last month. The deduction saw Everton drop to 19th place in the Premier League table, with the Toffees only hovering above bottom club Burnley on goal difference. Borson wrote: "Without seeing the judgement/award -10 points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward FFP breach to me. But reinforces that sanctions against City (if proven) and now Chelsea (if charged and admitted on the off-books payments) will be potentially relegation inducing.
