Everton has been deducted 10 points for violating Premier League financial regulations, reminiscent of Manchester City's repeated accusations of violating financial regulations in the past. The Telegraph explained why Manchester City did not face punishment.
According to the Premier League statement, Everton violated the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), incurring a loss of £124.5 million in the PSR calculation process, exceeding the specified £105 million threshold, resulting in a 10-point deduction, effective immediately. Although Everton has stated its intention to appeal, the chances of success are deemed low.
As for why Manchester City escaped punishment, The Telegraph pointed out that City's 115 charges were more in-depth, extensive, and complex than Everton's single violation. The Premier League stated that logically, City's case was inevitably more time-consuming. Everton finds this explanation unreasonable, asserting that their cooperation and compliance led to a quicker penalty.
Furthermore, theoretically, teams deemed to be illegally relegated, like Everton, can address income loss issues after Premier League relegation through legal means. Leeds United and Burnley have previously expressed openness to this possibility. However, due to all Premier League clubs signing up to self-regulation rules, the Premier League hopes this decision will satisfy all parties, instilling confidence in their ability and willingness to penalize misconduct. |
