My understanding is that 12 is the maximum points deduction possible for breaching financial regulations. You’re correct in that the additional penalty is a formality at this point, but I suspect Everton will want it applied this season, unless it means they’ll be relegated. If they put it off until next season, they could be deducted another twelve then, if that makes sense.
What is really interesting is that they borrowed another £13m from Football 777 just last week. They’re having major problems paying for the construction of the new stadium.
