On November 18th, the official Premier League statement last night declared that Everton had violated the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and incurred a 10-point deduction, marking the largest points penalty in Premier League history. It is worth noting that this case could have implications for Chelsea and Manchester City. Following the deduction of 10 points, Everton has only 4 Premier League points remaining this season, placing them in the relegation zone. However, Everton subsequently announced that they would appeal.
Previously, Manchester City faced 115 charges, and Everton received such a severe penalty for violating only Premier League rules. In addition, Chelsea is currently under investigation, as the club's former owner, Abramovich, may have incurred significant expenditures in violation of Premier League rules during his tenure. Everton has now set a precedent for severe punishment, raising concerns about the future of Manchester City and Chelsea.
The Times reporter Martyn Ziegler wrote that if the charges are confirmed by an independent regulatory committee, Manchester City or Chelsea could face a deduction of 30 points or automatic relegation from the Premier League. |
