Everton fans are all saying the same thing about Leicester points deduction news

Wed 4 September 2024 11:00, UK

Everton fans have been stunned after Leicester City announced they have won their appeal against a charge of breaching profit and sustainability rules.

In a statement issued via the club’s official website, they revealed that their challenge has been upheld by an independent appeal board.

This comes following the expectation that the Foxes would be the latest club to face a points deduction as a result of a financial breach after what happened to Everton and Nottingham Forest.

Last season, Everton were handed two separate points deductions for PSR breaches, losing a total of eight points after the Premier League and independent panel’s ruling.

Since the initial deduction, there have been protests towards the Premier League at Goodison Park and fans have not been quick to forget the way the club was treated.

Following the latest twist, their anger has been reignited, and supporters are, once again, raging at the Premier League.

Everton fans can’t believe how Leicester City avoided PSR punishment

Everton challenged both of their points deductions last season, with the first seeing a reduction to six from an initial ten-point punishment.

However, Leicester’s victory in their case has set a new precedent for finding the loopholes in the rules.

This has done little to settle the Everton supporters who feel their club has been targeted by the league’s decision-makers after what has happened to them.

Many have called for the club to take legal action, while others are insisting the rules were made to benefit certain clubs while publishing others.

Fans have taken to social media to voice their anger at the latest decision, labelling the Premier League and PSR “disgusting”, “horrific” and “corrupt”.

Leicester successfully exploiting a loophole to get off a PSR charge again highlights how shoddy & ill thought out the rules are, and how disgraceful it was that the Premier League pursued Everton (& Forest) so vigorously #efc

❌ The Premier League are trying to relegate Everton Football Club

❌ TWICE they have deducted Everton points for building a new stadium

❌ Now they let Leicester walk free from almost certain relegation and plunge Everton further into relegation mire

❌ The agenda is clear pic.twitter.com/3fWiOtksX7

The corrupt PL will happily go after Forest, Everton and Leicester. They will do everything they can to destroy City, as they had the audacity to gatecrash the cartel. But Chelsea and the red cartel can do as they please, FFP and PSR was devised to keep them at the top, forever!

This is disgusting, Leicester City win their appeal against psr rules but Everton and Nottingham Forest still get punished for overspending.

I am 95% convinced if Leicester had not won the League in 2016, then they would have been punished.

The panel is likely full of gimps who favour Big 6 and other notable winners.

Forest & Everton should be seething.

One rule for some, another for the rest.

Pathetic

This is disgusting. Leicester City have clearly broke the rules but cannot be punished over a technicality!

Instead Everton and Nottingham Forest got punished and everyone else, especially us this year, gets totally kneecapped by PSR.

Where is the justice and consistency for… pic.twitter.com/S298XW7Qk5

Everton simply has to lobby for changing the PSR rules.

Actually happy with the ruling for Leicester City.

The rules are not fit for purpose and points deduction for financial breaches are bordering on criminal. I’ve said that all along and not going to change my tune cos it might’ve suited Everton’s cause.

The Leicester decision outrageous – “ruling that the Premier League did not have jurisdiction to punish them”.

Everton lost out on millions and millions of pounds in revenue as a result of their points deductions. They have to take legal action.

Well well well, the Leicester case proves Everton fans were right all along – the PSR rules are not fit for purpose.
PSR is a complete scam.

Justice dictates that our stolen points should be given back, and we’ll have them credited this season thanks.
