Everton points deduction: Keith Wyness drops third breach verdict
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has revealed that the club will have any points deduction for a third potential breach suspended if they are relegated.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – claimed that any punishment would not apply in the EFL.
The Toffees could face a third points deduction over financial rule breaches, having already been punished twice for such breaches.
The Goodison Park club were docked 10 points for their first breach, which was reduced to six upon appeal.

The Toffees were then handed a further two-point deduction for their second breach, which is currently under appeal.
Everton are in 16th place in the Premier League table, eight points above the relegation zone with four matches remaining.
“I think it would probably be suspended until they came back into the Premier League,” he told the Inside Track podcast.
“I don’t think it would apply in the EFL. These are areas that nobody has any experience with, we’re going into it with 20 questions and trying to work out where we are in the unknown.
“But it has just become such a mess the way the administrators have made all this happen.”
