The storm of crisis sweeping through Goodison Park is yet to be over as Everton risks further 9-point deduction and a possible relegation from the English top-tier.
We reported earlier the Merseyside club have been docked 10 points by the English football authorities for gross financial breaches.
Following the 10-point deduction, the club have now dropped from 14th on the table to the relegation zone.
Everton are set to appeal the points deduction but are now set for even further sanctions and more deductions as per report from Daily Mail.
According the Mail, three English clubs – Burnley, Leeds, and Leicester City are planning to file fresh charges against Everton.
The three clubs reportedly want financial compensation from Everton for the damages they incurred due to the said financial breaches.
Should their litigations see the light of the day, the Premier League will be compelled to set up a panel to attend to the charges and take decision.
If it is ruled that Everton should pay compensation to the three clubs, it will be a big blow to the club as they are struggling with paucity of funds and may not be able to compensate the clubs financially.
The failure to pay the clubs the compensation will warrant a further nine point deduction which could have them relegated to the second-tier.
