I suppose, in a way it's come at a decent time - they've been going ok, and have loads of time this season to get themselves clear of relegation, especially the teams at the bottom doing so badly so far.
Yeah in a lot of ways you can say this has worked out perfectly for Everton. Getting the deduction during either of the two previous seasons (which is when the breach was actually happening) would have resulted in a guaranteed relegation, this year they look solid under Dyche and there are several teams that are absolutely atrocious so they should stay up no problem.
Of course, they are also being sued for damages by at least three clubs, so that might still hurt them pretty badly depending on the outcome.
