Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell has bemoaned their ‘wholly disproportionate’ points penalty and insisted the club will use the ‘unjust’ ruling as ‘additional fuel’.

The Merseyside club were hit with the division’s biggest points deduction after being found to be in breach of league profit and sustainability rules. 

It plunged Sean Dyche’s side to 19th in the table, above Burnley on goal difference alone. The club immediately confirmed its intention to appeal the decision. 

In his first comments since last week’s decision, Thelwell hit out at the verdict which stripped ‘hard-earned points’ from their tally, whilst also issuing a rallying cry to staff and supporters alike.

‘The clear and tangible impact on our league position because of that ruling is clear to see in the Premier League table.’ He wrote in a message on the club’s website. ‘We return to action five places lower than the 14th position held following our hard-fought victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

‘The three points from that victory may no longer be accounted for in the table – nor seven other hard-earned points amassed during this season. 

‘But what does remain in place is the unity, focus and determination that helped earn those points on the field of play – now supplemented by the additional fuel of what we believe is a wholly disproportionate ruling.

‘We are rallying in the face of a sporting sanction in the only way we can – and that is our focus and hard work in supporting the team in delivering to their fullest on the pitch.’

Everton had gone into the international break on an improved run of five wins in their last nine league games after starting the campaign with three consecutive defeats. 

Despite their new surroundings, their form remains unaffected and Thelwell reckons the side will take the ‘camaraderie and bravery’ displayed in those performances into upcoming matches, starting with the visit of Erik ten Hag’s side. 

He added: ‘That spirit remains strong – unwavering. Sean and the players are fully focused on the work that lies ahead. And everybody at Finch Farm is united.

‘We know that every Evertonian is behind us. That is never taken for granted, but always hugely appreciated and valued. We feel the strength of support, and we will continue to use that backing to drive us on.’
