Nah. Imagine they said
"It's a 10 point deduction but we wont apply it yet as Everton will appeal so lets just assume that we've fucked up and sort it in a few months."
They apply it because they want to look strong, and they've set it at 10 points because everything is a negotiation and they know that we will probably accept 6 or below. If they start at 4, we still appeal anyway and there is nowhere to go.
