and in the document they detailed how the club missed the mark with projections for their on-the-field performance in 2021-22.<\/p>\n<p>The club had just hired former Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez at the beginning of the campaign and made a raft of signings &#8211; but mainly utilising free transfers and bargain deals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/17\/13\/77931035-12762115-Everton_backed_themselves_to_finish_sixth_in_2021_22_but_finishe-a-22_1700229482225.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Everton backed themselves to finish sixth in 2021-22 &#8211;

already a wildly unpopular appointment &#8211; sacked midway through before Frank Lampard arrived to steady the ship.<\/p>\n<p>The Merseyside outfit struggled to stay afloat and ended up finishing 16th after being forced to wait until the penultimate day to secure their top flight status.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to be a far cry from the successful campaign the club projected as they missed out on \u00a321m in expected income, while the report also claims they overspent on their transfer budget &#8211; despite spending a total of \u00a330m &#8211; and failed to make enough from outgoings.<\/p>\n<p>It added that the club &#8216;took chances&#8217; regarding its position within the profitability and sustainability rules after former owner Farhad Moshiri claimed the team had a &#8216;non-existent midfield&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/17\/14\/77928343-12762115-Everton_have_suffered_the_hammer_blow_of_a_10_point_deduction_fo-a-23_1700229804397.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Everton have been plunged into 19th place after being docked 10 points by the Premier League<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/17\/13\/77928799-12762115-Premier_League_table_after_points_penalty-a-5_1700229326281.jpg\" height=\"389\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Premier League table after points penalty<\/p>\n<p>It comes after further analysis of the report found that the commission took a lenient stance on Everton despite the 10-point deduction &#8211;
