Alan Myers has once again provided an update that all Everton fans will be keen to consume.Having provided untold amounts of imperative information over his many years as a journalist, this season has arguably been his most difficult, having to transition from not just a football reporter but also a part-time financial analyst.Realistically, the Premier League has made this a reality for every Evertonian, who too have suffered through a boring, arduous campaign laden with setback after setback.But Sean Dyche has not let this affect him or his players, who have stood up to put their safety beyond all reasonable doubt.Alan Myers issues Everton appeal updateTaking to X, just mere hours after he issued an update on the potential that Everton could succumb to administration, his newest piece of information is remarkably less important than it would have been a couple of weeks earlier.After all, it concerns the club’s latest appeal from their two-point deduction, administered earlier this month for a second PSR breach.Having already seen ten points reduced to six, there was hope that they might at least snatch a single point back to aid in their survival bid.However, it simply does not matter anymore, having retained their top-flight status with their win over Brentford.Regardless, Myers still writes: ‘The appeal hearing for Everton’s second points deduction for breaching the Premier League’s P&S rules is expected to take place at the beginning of the last week of the current season The club secured PL safety with a win against Brentford on Saturday.’Everton have upset the Premier League’s plansWhilst pure speculation, it feels so clear that in deducting points for Everton and Nottingham Forest, the Premier League were desperate to create another spectacular relegation battle due to last deep into the campaign.After all, taking it to the final day of the season last year drew mass intrigue, with Abdoulaye Doucoure’s goal the only one in a 1-0 win over AFC Bournemouth to survive by the skin of their teeth.However, such a possibility for the Toffees was made redundant on Saturday, when Dyche led his side to a fourth straight home win to put survival beyond all reasonable doubt.It was nothing less than their performances had merited, with an eight-point deduction severely skewing where they should really have been in the Premier League table.And their desperation to forge such an exciting end-of-season narrative was only further outlined through this Friday’s chosen fixture for Sky Sports: Everton’s trip to Luton Town.Hilariously, it now means nothing to the Toffees, who have not only disappointed the Premier League, but the main beneficiary of their product too.
