Everton have had some pretty high-profile defenders throughout their ongoing deduction appeal.
It is encouraging to see people speak out on behalf of a club that is still being attacked but is unable to defend itself in public, including politicians and media figures.
The Premier League, meantime, appears to be funnelling important material to its preferred reporters, who then spread the word about stories that are better left for the official sources to cover.
It is therefore a huge plus to have mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool, respectively, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, on their side.
particularly in light of the latter’s recent passionate and heartfelt claim.
What Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram said about Everton’s appeal
Taking to X, as he has so frequently done in this tale, Liverpool’s Metro Mayor has been unwavering in his quest to stand up for the Toffees.
His unwavering stance is further enhanced by the fact that he is a true Liverpool supporter, which means that he is not biassed in any way by his Everton allegiance.
“Whatever the result of Everton’s appeal, this whole opaque process has left us with more questions than answers,” is what his first tweet says. The culture of secrecy has not helped to build trust, as seen by the excessively severe initial punishment, “small clubs,” and the Premier League’s attempt to change the rules midway through.
“How can any fan, club, or player have any confidence in the PL sanctions process moving forward?” he would further note in response. Considering the two unresolved cases that need to be handled this season, this is an urgent matter. It is obvious that the curtain of secrecy needs to be lifted even with Everton’s appeal still ongoing.
The Premier League need to act now
The longer the Premier League lets this farce continue, the weaker their position of power grows, and the more detrimental this ordeal will be for all the teams trying to avoid relegation as well as for Everton.
Because clubs are unaware of where they stand and what they need to do to advance, the division is facing a great deal of challenges as a result of this unprecedented ambiguity.
It’s absurd that a company this big and influential has been permitted to carry on with such a bizarre business model.
Having already missed one purported deadline after another, they need to take action immediately, or else this season will end with their reputation in ruins.
