The independent commission will decide upon any potential sanctions against Everton in their Financial Fair Play case, not the Premier League
Regardless of what the Premier League are 'recommending' in Everton’s Financial Fair Play case - it will be the independent commission who decide on any potential sanctions if the club were to be found guilty of any breaches of rules.
If found guilty, the club are facing a number of potential other sanctions, including a fine and/or a potential transfer embargo but Everton have stressed they have complied with the rules and insist they will “robustly defend” their position, arguing that exemptions, including those related to the coronavirus crisis, will clear them of any wrongdoing.
In the event of a breach being found, the next step would be that the commission decide upon any sanctions and if any sanctions such as a points deduction were agreed upon then it would also be at the discretion of the commission to decide upon which season to impose them, whether that be current, retrospectively or in a future campaign.
Portsmouth are the only Premier League club to have points taken off them for a financial matter having been deducted nine for entering administration in 2009/10, a season they would have finished bottom of the table regardless but the status of Everton’s case is unprecedented and there is no clear indication to the potential timeframe of the decision-making process which will also be up to the commission.
