Dan Plumley has insisted that any possible Everton appeal against their second PSR breach charge should be treated on its own merit.
After a successful first appeal which earned the club four points back from their initial 10-point deduction, a narrative emerged that a second appeal would be harder.
The football finance expert admitted that shouldn’t be the case, with a second points deduction described as inevitable now.
“I think that is a narrative that will be positioned out there,” he exclusively told Goodison News.
“Every case should be treated on its merits and its individual rights so I guess we shouldn’t be looking at the appeal of other cases to dictate whether or not an appeal is slightly harder this time around.
“If there is another points deduction then we are likely to see an appeal, and even if going through the process, it is a little harder, whatever you can shave off that points deduction looking at the way the table is at the minute becomes crucial.
“The two points that Forest has got back, in essence, may become pivotal towards the end of the season and Everton will be thinking the same.
“I guess it shouldn’t be harder is my initial gut feeling, but it needs to be considered and done very quickly because the end of the season is fast approaching.”
Everton likely to appeal against Premier League again
With the second hearing being completed this week, it has been suggested that 8 April is the date when that will be wrapped up.
If an appeal does go in after that, as expected, it will drag on even further and hopefully, it will not put the club in jeopardy of relegation.
