Alan Myers shares if Everton and PL reach agreement over announcement time for appeal decision

An agreement over the time of the announcement is unlikely to have been reached between Everton and the Premier League, according to Alan Myers.

The Sky Sports news editor took to Twitter to state that the club are still awaiting the decision of the appeal against the 10-point deduction.

Both Everton and the league will find out the decision at the same time and then a time to make it public will be determined.

Myers wrote on Twitter: “The commission tells the PL and Club its decision at the same time, then an announcement time is agreed between the parties, I really don’t think that’s happened yet.”

Everton and their fans will be annoyed

Everton and their fans have every right to be annoyed given the tumultuous season they’ve endured, exacerbated by the 10-point deduction looming over them.

The saga surrounding the deduction, stemming from breaches of financial regulations, has plunged the club into a relegation battle and sparked widespread controversy.

The lack of clarity surrounding the interpretation and enforcement of these regulations has only added to the frustration, leaving Toffees and their supporters feeling aggrieved and disillusioned.

The appeal process has been protracted and contentious, with the club contesting the severity of the punishment and highlighting mitigating factors such as external financial challenges and unforeseen circumstances.

The club’s efforts to defend their position have been met with public outcry, political intervention and scrutiny of the Premier League’s handling of the case.

Despite these efforts, the outcome remains uncertain, leaving everyone involved in a state of anxiety and uncertainty as they await the verdict that will shape the remainder of their season.

20-year-old West Bromwich Albion winger Tom Fellows attracted interest from Premier League side Everton in the January transfer window.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said the club were looking to strike a deal that would see him join in the summer, and that 777 Partners – the group who have agreed to buy a controlling stake in the Toffees – were considering a sign-to-loan deal with Albion for Fellows, that would have seen the winger return to the Hawthorns for the remainder of the season

At the time of this reported interest, Fellows’ contract with the club was set to expire this summer. Just over a couple of weeks later, he signed a new contract with West Brom, which is set to keep him with the club through until the summer of 2027. So Everton’s chances at a cut-price deal were eliminated, but there is still a strong likelihood that their interest could be rekindled once the 2023/24 season is over.

Football League World’sWest Brom fan pundit had his say on how much the Baggies should be willing to accept for him.

West Brom fan pundit thinks the club should get at least £20 million for Tom Fellows

FLW’s West Brom fan pundit Matt Smith has said that he would want an eight-figure fee for the 20-year-old

You look at how much other players go for, I’d try for £20m,” said FLW’s Baggies fan pundit.

“There’s a massive premium on young English players. I can’t really justify much more than that because he hasn’t played much Championship football. However, his stats, for the amount of minutes he gets, show that he’s a promising player.

He’s an old-fashioned winger and there aren’t many players who know how to play like that. He can beat his man, and put a ball in the box. I think he’s invaluable, and he’s hugely influential for Albion’s future.

“So I’d say £20 million at least. Maybe I am undervaluing him, but, if [Jaden] Philogene could go for £15 million, then he’s at least £20 million.”

£20 million price tag for Tom Fellows would be hard for Everton to justify

If those who make up 777 Partners are partial to a bit of poker, then this deal should be right up their street.

They could go up to a table, tell the dealer to put all £20 million on red or black, and that may end up being a safer bet than using the same money on Fellows.

There isn’t much of a sample size to go off of.

He’s started six Championship games in his entire career, come off the bench in a further 13, and his production from that time on the pitch is two goals and an assist. Premier League clubs might take a punt on a largely unproven player like Fellows if they see enough potential to justify spending a few million, but not 20.

Philogene, by comparison, has been one of the most exciting players in the Championship this season, and Aston Villa could buy him back for as little as £15 million in the summer. It’d be hard to justify Player A costing at least £5 million more than Player B, when Player B has six more goals and five more assists than Player A, in the league alone.

Everton are cash-strapped enough anyway. To buy Fellows for that amount of money would be a hard sell to fans.
