🗞️ Daily Digest: Everton points deduction, Golden Boy Jude, Madrid blow | OneFootball

The five biggest stories of the day but so much more digestible, so you know everything you need to.

1️⃣ Everton hit with 10-point deduction

Everton have been hit with a 10-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play rules, marking the first such penalty for a top-flight English club. The independent commission found the club exceeded the £105m threshold for losses in the 2021/22 season, resulting in a £124.5m loss. Everton plan to appeal, calling the punishment disproportionate and unjust. The deduction drops them from 14th to 19th in the Premier League, increasing relegation concerns. The ruling follows a £300m loss over 2019-2022, with Everton citing pandemic-related and stadium infrastructure costs as contributing factors.
