Mike Parry, an Everton shareholder, has slammed Manchester City after the Premier League docked them ten points for violating Profit and Sustainability rules.
The Citizens have been charged with 115 violations of Financial Fair Play, but no action has been taken against them.
The Toffees have appealed the decision, but the consequences have been immediate, with them now sitting in the bottom three.
Parry posted a message on Twitter: “Having analysed the disgraceful 10 pt punishment loaded on @Everton for ONE FFP breach .. which we admitted .. then Manchester City fans can maybe look forward to playing in the Northern Premier League quite soon if Prem League chiefs are consistent in pursuing their 115 allegations.”
They must be charged.
The Premier League’s decision to dock Everton 10 points for a minor financial violation has sparked a heated debate about the league’s disciplinary consistency.
The stark contrast with Manchester City’s situation, which is facing 115 FFP-related charges, raises legitimate concerns about the fairness of the penalties.
It’s perplexing that Everton faces severe punishment for a minor financial miscalculation of a few million, while City appears to escape more serious consequences.
This inconsistency has prompted calls for a rethinking of the league’s approach to enforcing financial regulations, with critics claiming that Everton’s case sets a troubling precedent.
The controversy highlights the need for a more consistent and equitable system for dealing with such violations in order to maintain the league’s integrity.
City deserve relegation based on what the Premier League has done to the Toffees, but that does not appear to be the case.
