The Premier League are now planning to do something which will make a mockery of their Everton treatment.
Everton and the Premier League have been feuding throughout the season.
It has been a gruelling and arduous battle, but their following has remained unwavering in their support for the club.
From rallies to press interviews with notable personalities, there was nothing else they could have done to express their discontent with the division’s weak profit and sustainability criteria.
Snagging ten points from them in November and eventually settling on six last month, this is just the beginning of what will continue throughout the season, hurting even Nottingham Forest.
And the most recent news will only exacerbate the situation.
What is the Premier League planning to accomplish
Few fans were particularly upset by the guilty conviction, given that they were the first to recognise their club’s wrongdoings.
Everton had been driven to the ground by owner Farhad Moshiri, who had ran the club recklessly and without care, culminating in their slow descent into the financial abyss they now find themselves in.
Despite fans denouncing his ongoing participation and even campaigning for his removal, they are the ones who have been punished for his acts with that deduction.
Now, stupidly, the Premier League is preparing to ditch the PSR that has been used so obsessively to punish Everton in favour of a new model.
Sky Sports went so far as to admit that they were unfit for duty, but the sanction that was imposed remains in place. It’s a genuinely strange line of events, and it further reinforces their inability to govern fairly.
The Premier League makes a joke of Everton.
Although Simon Jordan claimed that the Premier League had every right to amend the regulations while upholding Everton’s punishment, even he admits that it is a bad look for them.
After all, as an organisation that was so eager to use their rulebook as a primary argument for their actions against the Toffees, they are now asking everyone to disregard it while they seek a better way to run their clubs.
It is scarcely fair that any consequences imposed as a result of those regulations should continue in place, given this admission should nullify any validity they had.
But, obviously, this is not the case.
