Reports of Everton potentially facing a 12-point deduction for Financial Fair Play (FFP) rule violations have prompted an emphatic reaction from Jamie Carragher. The former Liverpool defender and football pundit suggested that if Everton were to receive such a penalty, it would be fitting for Premier League champions Manchester City to play in what he humorously referred to as the “entertainment league.”
Carragher alleged that Manchester City has a history of over 100 financial breaches spanning 14 seasons. In a tweet, he criticized what he sees as a double standard by stating, ” The PL want a 12 point deduction for Everton for one charge. Man City are going to end up in the National League North if the PL get their way!! Unbelievable the amount of stories that come out about Everton’s situation, but Man City’s, which has 114 more charges & has gone on for much longer, has gone very quiet.”
This controversy comes as the Premier League is expected to make a decision on Everton’s situation later this year. Carragher’s comments have also prompted speculation that Manchester City might mount a legal challenge against the Premier League’s actions.
As Everton prepares to face West Ham in the Premier League, Manchester City is set to take on crosstown rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday.
