Luton manager Edwards acknowledges the revised Everton point deduction, calling it “unlikely.”
Rob Edwards, the manager of Luton Town, has made a point about Everton and the Premier League standings.
The Toffees were given a 10-point deduction in October, but they have since challenged the ruling and are awaiting a judgment in the next few days.
Everton currently trails Luton by one point for the final relegation slot, but Edwards isn’t paying any attention to the official standings.
According to The Athletic, he stated, “I keep getting the analyst to update the table [with Everton’s 10 points restored]” on February 18.
We have utilized it and stated, “This is the table,” but I don’t want to constantly display the players because I don’t want to flatten them.
“We need to try to escape from our current situation as we are one point behind Nottingham Forest (now four points) and in the bottom three.”

Oliver Kay of the Athletic writes that it is “unlikely” that the 10-point penalty would be fully rescinded.
Premier League points appeal decision for Everton is pending.
We’re told the Premier League standings never lies, but it does this year. Everton is either nine points clear of danger, one point from safety, or anywhere in between.
The good news for everyone is that Everton is anticipated to find out where they truly sit in the standings by the end of next week.
But there’s still the minor issue of the impending second PSR charge, which might take until a week after the season concludes.

Regarding the appeal of the points deduction and the takeover by 777 Partners, Everton supporters are in a state of uncertainty.
Edwards will need to account for Nottingham Forest’s potential second charge as well as Everton’s if he intends to stick with his strategy of analyzing the table in this tight relegation battle.
Luton’s advantage is that they control their own destiny, and they still have Sunday’s match against Manchester United to consider.
All Everton can do is keep scoring goals and hope that these two cases end out in our favor.
