A statement from the club said: “Everton Football Club has today lodged with the chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel its appeal of the decision by a Premier League commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the club. An appeal board will now be appointed to hear the case.”
Everton’s description of a “Premier League commission” differs from the league’s statement on the appeal and suggests tensions between the two over their interpretation of the commission’s independence. The Premier League said that Everton had “appealed the decision of an independent commission to impose a 10-point deduction on the club, after its admission of a breach of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules”.
The chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel, Murray Rosen KC, appointed the three-person commission that heard Everton’s case. Rosen will also select the board that hears Everton’s appeal from a 12-strong judicial panel created by the Premier League, which brought the case. The three members of the judicial panel who imposed the 10-point penalty on Everton – David Phillips KC, Alan Greenwood and Nick Igoe – cannot be selected for the appeal board.
