Everton could face another 9-point ban

The bad news keeps on coming at Goodinson Park. In addition to the Premier League's official sanction of ten points for Everton for breaking the rules on spending in the competition, a new one of nine points can be added.

Burnley, Leeds United and Leicester City are planning to sue the Toffees for £300 million in damages after the Premier League penalised them with a 10-point deduction for flouting the competition's spending rules.

According to the 'Daily Mail', '777Partners', who could buy the Liverpool club, are unwilling to pay the possible £300m fine.

This would lead to a possible sanction for non-payment and a reduction of a further nine points which would leave the club in a very delicate position to survive in the Premier League.
