Tony Cottee fuming after what the Premier League have done to Everton and Nottingham Forest.
By the end of February, Everton will know the result of their appeal hearing. Or at least that is the information that has been spread by several media sources.
But since they have already missed two deadlines, these fictitious ones don’t really matter, and there is now little hope that they would adhere to this most recent one, even if the trial is crucial.
Both the Toffees and Nottingham Forest are being made to wait for information that could be crucial to their long-term survival, which could have serious consequences throughout the relegation zone.
It’s a ridiculous scenario over which they sadly have no control.
Tony Cottee has made an effort to draw attention to this Premier League misstep, at the very least.
Tony Cottee’s remarks regarding Everton
Before concluding his conversation with Ally McCoist and Jeff Stelling, the former striker for West Ham United and Everton, who was called on to discuss the latter’s managerial situation, was asked one last question.
They asked him if he thought Leicester City and the Toffees, two of his old teams, may be moving up, and although he was confident the Foxes would advance, the Merseyside team remained a mystery to him.
He asserted, live on talkSPORT on February 26 at 9:45 a.m.: “Everton—who knows what I mean— Please decide what should happen with the points; I’m not understanding this. Not only Forest, but all the Premier League clubs in the area are impacted, not just Everton.
“Oh, by the way, here’s an appeal; we’ll announce the outcome after the seasons finished,” they then say. It’s completely absurd, lads.
Come on, decide something. It also involves everyone participating in the relegation struggle, not just Everton. It is unfair to all of those teams and, more significantly, to their supporters.
The Premier League has not been kind to Everton.
How can a league the size and power of the Premier League mishandle this situation to such an extreme degree?
There have been no firm dates, so everything has been left up to interpretation, and their regulations have been extremely flimsy and contentious.
They have been free to act whenever and however they like, disregarding the consequences for Everton and other players in the table.
The Premier League’s once-immaculate reputation has been severely damaged by the way this trial has played out, regardless of whether they are successful in their appeal at this time.
With any luck, the Toffees will be able to further erode the division and move Sean Dyche’s team closer to the safety their football has earned this season.
