Leicester City, Burnley, Southampton, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are all considering taking action after Everton were handed a 10-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's financial rules.
It wasn’t a miscal, at this level that isn’t an acceptable defense, at this level you have the resources to make sure that doesn’t happen. It was a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules or it was incompetence. Now we know the penalty and I welcome it.
Either way it will get appealed and probably reduced to 4 or 7 points. And frankly if this punishment was always going to happen then it couldn’t come at a better time. Everton will likely survive this season even with the deduction.
Now every club is aware that this behavior doesn’t fly. But if we get to the point in 3 or 4 years where City and Chelsea faced no punishment though I absolutely will change my mind on that.

The point is 10 pts is egregious. Over 19.5 in a stadium cost. It will probably come down to 3-6 in the end. But 10 for one charge is nuts
