(Reuters) - Everton have gained some much-needed clarity after their points deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules was reduced on appeal, manager Sean Dyche said on Thursday.

The Toffees had their points penalty reduced to six points from 10 on Monday, leaving them 15th in the league with 25 points, five above the relegation zone.
