Manager Sean Dyche believes that the “clear understanding” regarding Everton’s Premier League points deduction is advantageous for the entire club.
This week, Everton’s punishment for violating financial regulations was decreased from 10 points to six following an appeal.
As a result, they moved up from 17th to 15th place in the table. However, they are still at risk of facing another deduction for an additional alleged breach.
“We’re pleased we got something back. You’re always greedy, aren’t you? Want more,” said Dyche.
“The points the club made have obviously been listened to and we got the four points back.
“We’ll take that and it brings clarity to the situation, which is good for us, good for the players, but good for all actually.”
On Saturday, Everton will welcome West Ham in the league, marking their first match since the appeal verdict.
The points deduction for Everton is associated with their violation of profit and sustainability rules (PSR) within the three-year period leading up to 2021-22.
They and Nottingham Forest have also been charged for alleged breaches in their accounts for the three years until 2022-23.
That case must be heard by 8 April, but any appeal could extend the process to 24 May, the week after the season ends.
Asked about the outstanding case, Dyche said: “There’s nothing we can do at this time. The main focus was on this appeal and what came from it.
“We’ve certainly parked that now because it’s become a fact. The line’s drawn under that now – the players are clear of that.
“We’ll take on the rest of the season with an open mind.”
