‘I would expect’… Simon Jordan anticipates when Everton will hear the verdict of their appeal.

Everton are still yet to hear back from the Premier League about the appeal of their ten-point deduction.

Despite the trial having completed three weeks ago tomorrow, it seems the independent commission just cannot come to a judgment in what is a significant ruling that continues to badly affect the team the longer it drags on.

They decision-makers remain unbothered nonetheless, as deadline after deadline passes by.

Simon Jordan is the latest to try his hand at forecasting when a ruling would be made.

What Simon Jordan stated about Everton’s appeal

Speaking live on TalkSPORT earlier this morning (22/02, 11:10 am), the former Crystal Palace chairman was pretty harsh in his appraisal of the delay.

Brushing away any potential conspiracy ideas, he said that he always knew it would be a drawn-out process, but anticipates a clearer future on these problems to soon be in motion.

Jordan would go on to claim: ‘We are also living in a world now where we’ve moved from, I’m not arguing it’s great, but the sophistication and the refining of the system is moving to a considerably more complete manner of working.

‘I would expect the result to come out quite shortly. I didn’t expect to hear it till the end of February and if it goes past the end of February… there’s no reason for holding it up, if you’re not privy to the full process, if you’re not privy to how the thing is held together and why it’s taken a period of time.

‘Because no one is going to be sitting on their hands going ‘Oo let’s keep the idiots in suspense.’ No one is going to be sat there going ‘Oh I know what we’ll do this week, let’s make sure Everton are kept on their tenterhooks.’ There will be reasons, and it might be, simply, that individual members of the panel weren’t available at different times to gather together to judge the decision.

‘Why would someone delay the inevitable? What is the benefit?’

A Premier League conspiracy?

Whilst Jordan is definitely right regarding the conspiracy suggestions that are swirling around regarding Everton’s ongoing battle with the Premier League, there have been some extremely questionable actions taken that do throw this theory into question.

After all, it is fairly evident that the bulk of this is only truly happening due of the approaching threat of an independent regulator.

So whilst the Toffees were in the wrong, and even accepted culpability for their misdeeds, the scale of the sentence was outrageously out of proportion and harsh on the Evertonians whom it actually impacts.

And yet, it is one which the Premier League are clearly comfortable with, and thus far are sticking with. The goal is that the appeal can disprove their argument.

Not only that, but the manner in which their CEO Richard Masters has gone about his business throughout this period has not eased frustrations either, with the executive branding Everton a ‘small club’ alongside Nottingham Forest despite making countless false promises which he is yet to keep.

The lengthening of this procedure is not actually a part of this, although it is obviously having a bad effect on the team, which James Garner revealed.

To put these allegations to bed, the Premier League need just to come to a conclusion and move forward, otherwise, they are only destined to escalate.
