A judge rules that Man City will be demoted due to FFP charges while Everton and Liverpool look on.
The Premier League has deducted 10 points from Everton’s score.
If proven guilty of violating Premier League regulations, Manchester City may face relegation, according to a former legal advisor to the team.
Due to their alleged violations of profit and sustainability rules, Everton has been docked ten points. The Toffees are’shocked’ by the decision, which has taken them to 19th place in the table. This punishment is unprecedented in the history of the top flight.
The Premier League brought over 100 charges against City for financial rule violations in February. The staff at Etihad Stadium has denied any misconduct. Liverpool has finished as runners-up twice in the last six seasons, while City has won five of them.
According to rumors, Chelsea’s previous owner Roman Abramovich is allegedly receiving “secret payments” from the Premier League and the FA.
Watchstone Group CEO Stefan Borson thinks that, considering the punishment “Everton received, City and Chelsea’s could be more severe if indeed guilty.” He wrote on X, saying, “It seems harsh to me to give Everton ten points for a simple FFP breach, without seeing the judgment or award.” However, it confirms that penalties against City (if proven) and Chelsea (if accused and found guilty of making off-book payments) could result in relegation.”
