Two more Premier League clubs have been named who will be punished for breaking financial rules if deducted 20 points will lead them to Relegation
Man United is one of only two teams that could be involved in the FFP mess in the Premier League. Everton lost 10 points because they broke the Premier League’s rules about money during the international break. Now, two more clubs could be involved in the mess.
Ten points were taken away from the Merseyside club in the Premier League results this season. This puts Sean Dyche’s team in the relegation zone.
A lot of football fans are angry about the decision, and they think that the Premier League should make the Toffees pay for their actions.
Everton said in a strong statement after the verdict, “The club will watch with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.”
In February, it was said that Man City broke financial fair play rules more than 100 times over a nine-year stretch, from 2009 to 2018.
The Premier League and Football Association are also looking into Chelsea over payments made in secret by companies owned by Roman Abramovich, who owned the Blues from 2003 to 2022. The current ownership group reported these payments on their own.
Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers were both charged by UEFA for minor rule violations, and now two more clubs may be brought into the mess. Questions are being raised about why these teams were not properly investigated.
A ยฃ257,000 fine was given to United in July for breaking spending rules from 2019 to 2022. Wolves was fined ยฃ175,000 three years ago for similar violations.
While Man United and Wolves were found guilty by UEFA, they were not investigated or charged. This will be seen as unfair by Everton fans.
It is not clear if both teams are out of trouble with the Premier League because they broke UEFA rules, but it is something to keep an eye on.
