Friday brought the end of a lengthy investigation into Everton‘s spending, with their accounts confirming losses exceeding limits imposed by the Premier League.
Following a disciplinary hearing, an independent commission ruled that the Merseyside club should be docked 10 points, effectively immediately.
Everton have dropped from 14th in the league to 19th, level on points with bottom-placed Burnley, leaving Sean Dyche’s side in a tough position.
It is a significant sanction from the Premier League, and comes with 115 charges looming over Man City and an investigation ongoing into Chelsea‘s spending under Roman Abramovich.
That was the feeling among Liverpool fans as they reacted to the news on social media.
