Everton: Sam Allardyce fumes at Premier League live on talkSPORT in points deduction verdict
Sam Allardyce has fumed at the Premier League in a new Everton rant live on talkSPORT after the club were successful in their appeal against the ten-point deduction.
The former boss insisted that, after Everton were punished, both Manchester City and Nottingham Forest should also be punished before the end of the season.
Allardyce even went as far as to suggest that the profit and sustainability rules shouldn’t be in place, and owners should be able to spend as much as they like with their football clubs as Everton gained back four points.
Speaking live on talkSPORT [27 February, 08:15], Allardyce ranted: “It’s not so much what’s happening, it’s just the rules. What are the rules? Who’s implementing the rules? What do the rules mean? How much do football clubs have to prepare themselves?
“If I was a billionaire and I wanted to buy a football club for my pleasure, with my money, I want to buy it and I don’t want to be restricted with what I want to invest.
“With Everton – why do it in season? Why not do it out of season? What’s going to happen to Manchester City? What’s going to happen to Nottingham Forest? They have to do that before the end of the season now, they can’t just punish Everton and not somebody else. It’s totally and utterly unfair.”
Sam Allardyce slams the Premier League in Everton verdict
The Premier League have opened themselves up to plenty of criticism regarding the ongoing situation at Goodison Park, and Allardyce has now become the latest high-profile name to pile on, questioning the decision-making process at the top.
This has come after plenty of pundits have slammed the league throughout the process, with Everton the centre of it all – first with the ten-point deduction, then the decision to reduce that punishment, and likely afterwards with a second charge pending.
Everton will have been pleased to receive some points back off their initial punishment which was widely accepted as being overly harsh, but the ongoing dispute with the Premier League looks set to continue.
Goodison Park has been busier than ever behind the scenes this season, not only with the seemingly constant PSR issues but also the ongoing 777 Partners takeover, with blame lying at the feet of the league.
