The former captain of Everton has talked about the financial problems facing the team.
Phil Jagielka has expressed doubts about the Premier League’s strategy for handling Everton‘s financial problems.
The Toffees lost 10 points after being accused of breaking the suitability and financial fair play regulations. They were charged again in January, along with Nottingham Forest, and it’s unclear when and whether they will be found guilty once more at this point. Additionally, there has been no update on their ongoing appeal on the initial charge, which continues to loom large over the club.
Jagielka, who made 385 appearances for Everton, captained the side for years and he has spoken out on talkSPORT. He was asked whether he shared the thoughts and concerns of many Everton fans. Jagielka said: “I can see why they (the fans) think that way. I can’t believe that there’s only one club that’s ever made bad decisions financially since the Premier League started. “There’s only one team that’s been deducted points. I don’t know the ins and outs and whether the rules have changed blah, blah, blah, but if other clubs have got away with it, you can’t say it’s still pending, these investigations are pending for 25 years, who is going to care what’s gone on? It’s got to be done within a timeframe and it seems that for whatever reason someone has decided that this was going to happen very sharpish.”
