Everton points deduction: What now after further two-point deduction with Toffees set to appeal?

Everton have been deducted two points for breaching the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules for a second time - adding another twist to the relegation battle. Everton breached their allowed spending- under the PSR rules - of a £105m loss over three seasons by £16.6m. The points deduction means the Merseyside club drop below Brentford into 16th place on 27 points, two points and two places above 18th-placed Luton.

They lost less money than Nottingham Forest, yet Forest were potentially going to get a seven or eight-point deduction if the Premier League got their way. So Everton feel there has been a lack of consistency. When would an appeal be heard?The backstop date is around May 24 or 25. It's done on a cab-rank approach so we've got to have the Nottingham Forest case take place first. In the ideal situation, Everton are safe regardless of the two points before the end of the season.
