Everton Football Club and their supporters have now had a little time to digest the shock news of the Premier League's biggest sporting sanction being handed down to them.

After a poor start to the season, Sean Dyche's side had improved and were comfortable in the table but have now dropped from 14th to second bottom on goal difference, two points from safety.
Everton narrowly escaped relegation in the past two tumultuous seasons and - despite an appeal to be heard - they are now gearing up for a third consecutive battle to avoid ending up in the Championship.
