It may take some time to reach a verdict on Manchester City after Everton were reduced to 10 points, while Liverpool’s stars have enjoyed mixed success on the international stage. The news that Everton have been deducted 10 points for breaching financial fair play has shocked the Eredivisie. Liverpool will be a club to watch.
The Stanley Park neighbors have been handed the biggest fine in Premier League history following the audit of the club’s financial statements for the 2021/22 season. Everton said they plan to appeal the decision, but they now sit just four points above the relegation zone.
This reasoning has already caught the attention of many opposing fans and pundits, many of whom are now thinking the same thing. With Manchester City and Chelsea also under investigation, can we expect more severe punishments in the future? While Everton receive a 10-point deduction for breaching the Profit and Stability Rule (commonly known as FFP), many Liverpool fans will no doubt turn to Manchester City. The reigning Premier League champions are currently under investigation after 115 allegations were made against them last year.
It was recently announced that Premier League clubs will be prosecuted more quickly if they are accused of breaching financial regulations, with a final decision to be made within 12 weeks. However, Manchester City’s case is a special case, so a judgment cannot be made immediately.
