I think it is a move in a wrong direction for the FA to deduct 10 points from Everton at this point in time when the club is facing relegation battles, this will only dampen their confidence and also jeopardize everything they have worked for so far. Everton still has the right to an appeal though but if they lose the appeal then it would be very disastrous for them and may cost them their chances of escaping relegation so let's hope that everything goes in Everton's favour when the hearing for their appeal comes up.
That's the consequence if they don't obey the rules there was no way to avoid it if Everton had done it, Everton have narrowly avoided relegation after their struggles last month but unfortunately the problem is not over yet and clearly has an impact on the players' mentality, imagine if Everton deducted 10 points then they only have 7 points while this league only has 17 matches remaining meaning that Everton is definitely one of the candidates for relegation. Honestly, I think this is unfair and hope Everton can get past this however, I want to see Everton in the Premier League next season.
How can you call that as unfair. There was a reason anything. The main reason if everton has been violating the rules and that's it. Nottingham forest has been releasing official statement too which makes everything clear that if the club is now accepting it.
I will give you a small update regarding this problem.
The chief executive of the Premier League, Richard Masters, has confirmed that a date has been agreed to hear the 115 charges brought against Manchester City and acknowledged a delay in assessing 777 Partners’ offer to buy Everton, as he sought to show MPs the top flight remains committed to reform of English football.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/16/date-set-for-manchester-citys-115-charge-hearing-confirms-richard-mastersManchester city has gotten the date for the hearing of all charges against city. It will become a disaster for manchester city. Chelsea may be targeted by EPL as well but i think that there were lots of clubs have been violating the rules.
The sanction has been also delaying the acquisition for everton. It will give bad impact to the club and probably the acquisition will be cancelled if everton will be going down to the lower division.
There are so many things are still remain unanswered till this time. We do know that there will be a lot of disappointed regarding this but EPL is just trying to be better. Manchester city needs to make a preparation for that.
