Their season is already over in November! Not even half of the season First Everton got punished and now another harsh punishment!
English football has been rocked today after Everton was deducted 10 points by the Premier League as legal experts predicted Manchester City and Chelsea could be relegated if they are also found guilty of flouting financial rules.
A lawyer who has previously advised Man City on its said that the ruling may ‘reinforce’ that sanctions will be ‘potentially relegation inducing’, if claims are proven against City and Chelsea.
The Merseyside club has been plunged into the relegation zone for breaching profitability and sustainability regulations after making a loss of £372million over three-years – £122million more than the £250million permitted.
And now fuming members of Everton fan club The 1878s have raised more than £12,000 to protest the ‘disgraceful and nonsensical’ to deduct 10 points. A GoFundMe page said that they had ‘plans in motion regarding banners and flags’.
The fan club added: ‘We won’t take this lying down. F*** the Premier League.’
The Toffees were 14th in the Premier League last night but are now 19th – only above bottom club Burnley on goal difference. And in more bad news, Burnley, Leeds and Leicester have this afternoon confirmed they will sue them for £300million. They claim Everton breached financial rules when they were relegated from the Premier League in the past two seasons and want compensation.
The Premier League could have fined Everton or imposed a transfer ban but has instead plumped for a points deduction. Everton, managed by Sean Dyche, have said they will appeal, calling the punishment, the most severe in Premier League history, ‘wholly disproportionate and unjust’.
But Everton’s legendary former goalkeeper Neville Southall said today: ‘It sounds harsh but if you broke the rules – just suck it up. If they [the Premier League] are doing Everton – they are doing other clubs as well. Otherwise it is discrimination’. He added that the club’s players must use their anger as fuel to beat relegation.
