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 embroiled in a feud lasting the length of this entire campaign.

It has been a tiring and arduous battle, and one in which their fanbase has been tireless in their defence of the club they love.

From protests to pushing interviews with figures of note, not much more could have been done to voice their displeasure with the manner in which the division and its flawed profit and sustainability rules have left them hamstrung.

Snagging ten points from them in November, eventually settling on six last month, this is just the start of what will persist throughout this term, even affecting Nottingham Forest.

And the latest news to have broken will only add to the furore.

What the Premier League are planning to do
Few fans took real grievance with the actual guilty verdict, given they were the first to admit the wrongdoings of their club.

Driven into the ground by owner Farhad Moshiri, Everton had been run recklessly and without thought, resulting in their steady decline into the financial pit they find themselves in.

And yet, despite supporters protesting against his continued inclusion, actually lobbying for his exit, it is they who have been punished for his actions with that deduction.

Now, laughably so, the Premier League are actually planning to scrap the very PSR which has been used so religiously to punish Everton, instead opting for a new model.

Sky Sports even detailed the acknowledgement that they were unfit for purpose, yet the sanction with which they were justified remains. It is a truly confusing chain of events, and one which only further solidifies their inability to govern with fairness.

The Premier League are making a mockery of Everton
Although Simon Jordan attested that the Premier League had every right to change the rules whilst upholding Everton’s punishment, even he cannot deny that it is a bad look for them.

After all, as an organisation that was so keen to point to their rulebook as a main defence for their actions towards the Toffees, they are now telling everyone to ignore them as they seek a better way to govern their clubs.

It is hardly fair that whatever sanctions have therefore come from those rules remain, as this admission should expunge any validity it had.

But, unsurprisingly, that is not to be the case.

Everton’s punishment remains, and actually they could still be handed further admonishment later in the season.

It would be a truly farcical way to finish what has already been a campaign of ridicule for the Premier League, as they seek to make a mockery of the Goodison Park outfit. However, all they are doing is making fools of themselves.
