Everton boss Sean Dyche has expressed shock at the \u201cdisproportionate\u201d 10-point penalty imposed on the club but insisted he and his players are ready to take on the latest challenge put in front of them.<\/p>\n

Dyche was trying to enjoy a short break during the international window when he got word of the unprecedented sanction handed down by an independent commission for breaches of the Premier League\u2019s financial rules \u2013 a penalty that Everton will appeal against.<\/p>\n

Speaking publicly for the first time on the matter, Dyche said: \u201cI think like everyone, certainly in these parts, I was shocked and seemingly from the wave of noise after that, most people in football are shocked by the enormity of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisproportionate is a word used by the club. Obviously we feel a bit aggrieved by that, but on the other hand it doesn\u2019t change the focus. The focus since I got there is sorting things out on the pitch, getting the team to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were on the right lines, delivering strong performances. This has just given us a push backwards to come forwards again. The job hasn\u2019t changed. It\u2019s just made it more difficult under the current circumstances until the appeal\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know every inch of the past, I don\u2019t know why the commission have come out with what they have but I certainly believe in what the club put forward. It feels disproportionate, it feels unjust and plenty of voices out there feel the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is done is done for now, appeal pending, and we have to get on with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everton fans have hit out at the penalty, and have raised more than \u00a340,000 to fund protests against the Premier League. A demonstration was due to take in London on Friday outside the league offices, while a plane carrying a banner will fly over Manchester City\u2019s match against Liverpool on Saturday.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, when Everton\u2019s game against United will be televised, home fans will be asked to hold up red cards which call the Premier League \u201ccorrupt\u201d.<\/p>\n

Everton had been showing encouraging signs before the penalty, winning six out of nine in all competitions to climb up the table, but have now dropped to second bottom \u2013 level on four points with basement boys Burnley ahead of Sunday\u2019s match against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to the group and said, \u2018Look, the league table is one thing but I don\u2019t change my story very often and I believe the final league table is the truth of the season, and I\u2019m not going to change now\u2019,\u201d Dyche added.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, it changes the viewpoint but it doesn\u2019t change what we\u2019re doing. In fact it enhances what we\u2019re doing. We need to go harder, stronger. This is what it is. It\u2019s been about refocus as much as anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The penalty has raised all manner of questions at Everton, with suggestions that rival clubs may now pursue compensation claims potentially impacting the proposed takeover by 777 Partners.<\/p>\n

On the pitch, there was a sense of optimism that after two seasons fighting relegation things were looking up but \u2013 for now at least \u2013 they are back in the bottom three.<\/p>\n

Dyche said that did not concern him in the immediate term, but there was clear frustration from the boss that off-pitch dramas are once again dominating the agenda at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to take away the noise,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve had to do it endlessly since I\u2019ve been here, keep pushing away the noise around this football club.<\/p>\n

\u201cBizarrely, we were talking about it before \u2013 the last press conference before (Crystal) Palace was one of the first ones that was just about football. And lo and behold while I was away we get a 10-point deficit. So what do you do? You just keep taking it on.\u201d<\/p>\n
