Doesn't seem to be any sense to me just speculation and click bait sites wanting to sensationalise the story.
Just wait for anything official to come out. Journalists are thriving off you all clicking on their nonsense.

Premier League calls for Everton to be hit with 12-point deduction – report
The Premier League has reportedly recommended that Everton should be hit with a 12-point deduction over alleged breaches of financial fair play ruleswww.theguardian.com
Hadn't seen that, so my reaction stands. Kin great.
It’s not akin to a civil claim either. It’s a private tribunal with its own rules. I do think it’s unethical for the Premier League to be asked its opinion on punishment (if they were) when liability hasn’t been determined. Surely the punishment should fit the findings of the tribunal.

We really need to stop playing the victim here. If anything happens, we have to be grown up, understand what has happened and suck it up. They don't simply hold these investigations to make people sit up and take notice. They do it because they believe they have facts and evidence of wrong doing. We can absolutely challenge any findings and explain them but please lets stop believing it's because we are Everton. Other clubs have been docked points in the league. If it happens to us, it is because our management has failed us again.

Publications are taking advantage of the fear-mongering. Nothing to see. For a second I thought it was official. Typical

Are we headed the same way as Rangers?
Absolutely failed us again. There was a stink of malfeasance off the club and some of its actions like the 30M payment to be put on a waiting list for naming rights, or having our auditors walk away and not being willing to certify the accounts. I don't really fear the PL verdict on this, its more the gates it might open to the relegated clubs to drag us through the courts and the impact that will have on the club on its ability to focus on what happens on the pitch. There's very different rules in play there, and we haven't shown an ability to single-task well, nevermind simultaneously concentrate on a takeover, a stadium development, a board re-org, and a court case that could cost us many millions in both legal fees and penalties.
On the question of how the Premier League can propose a penalty, see the Times today;
“It is understood the Premier League believes a breach of profitability and sustainability (P&S) rules should carry sanctions up to a points deduction.
In such cases, an independent commission will take submissions from both parties in the case, the Premier League and the club, on what they believe an appropriate sanction should be if a rule breach has been proved, but the decision is entirely at the discretion of the commission.”

Everton buyers could pay reduced price if club are deducted points
US investment firm 777 Partners has contingency plans in place should the club be punished for an alleged breach of the Premier League’s financial rules.
