‘Grave concerns’: Liverpool CR mayor issues sharp response to Premier League charges against Everton

Rotheram, Everton

Steve Rotheram has issued a statement following the Premier League’s decision to hit Everton with further sanctions over a breach of Profit and Sustainability rules.

The Liverpool City Region mayor shared his ‘grave concerns’ in an official statement released on X (formerly Twitter) this afternoon.

Nottingham Forest are also at risk of a points deduction, with the English top-flight bringing similar charges against the relegation-battlers, according to The Guardian.

What on earth is happening with Man City?

We can appreciate the process in question must be meticulous, so, naturally going through, say, Manchester City’s 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play will require a greater time commitment.

That said, you can completely understand the frustrations of a fanbase that, quite rightly, feels they’ve not only had the book thrown at them but also been bludgeoned half to death with it.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s formidable outfit is free to carry on dominating English and European football.

Presumably, we’ll get to the Sky Blues eventually, but it very much seems like cooperation is working to Everton’s detriment, whilst City’s delaying tactics are met with a wry smile and a cartoonish “oh, you little rascals!”

  1. The Everton situation shows clearly that FA is very biased. Imagine how devastating it was to punish Everton and leave out prime offenders like Chelsea and Manchester city. I am not an Everton supporter, but to be objective, why are they so obsessed with sparing other offenders? Everton were charged and within a short period they suffered a 10 point deduction to which they responded quickly and moved to apparently safer position on the table. It is callous to hear that FA want to inflict similar penalty on them. I have never seen this anywhere in football circles!! Manchester city and Chelsea have more grave outstanding FFP cases than Everton have. This kind of behaviour by a football association is very strange!! Even here in Africa such kind of penalties on teams are done impartially. They should first decide Manchester city and Chelsea cases and then deal with the rest. This will show impartiality then. After all, Everton appeal case is not yet decided. How do they come up with the other one.
