The topic of PSR has emerged back into the headlines after the Premier League docked Nottingham Forest four points, and, unsurprisingly, what could happen to Everton next is now being discussed.
Forest received a lesser sanction than the Toffees due to their cooperation with the authorities. However, there’s a consensus that the Premier League are somewhat making it up as they go along.
Things don’t quite seem to add up, and this view is shared by Stan Collymore, who made his thoughts clear live on talkSPORT on Monday afternoon.
“We have a ridiculous situation where Everton Football Club, one of the founders of the football league, got initially a ten-point and then reduced to six-point for a £20m overspend,” he said.
“But Manchester United, one of the other grand dames of English football, are 3/4 of a billion pounds in debt. That, to me, seems grossly unfair.”
Everton’s second charge will be the most intriguing out of all the PSR verdicts during the season. There is precedent to follow, albeit reasonably inconsistent.
And now, BBC Sport presenter Mark Chapman has shared what he’s been told about when the club will find out their latest punishment.
