Everton points deduction: Andy Goldstein fumes at Premier League development
The Premier League’s independent Appeal Board has decided to announce its verdict on the Everton appeal against a two-point deduction before the season ends.
According to the league, they are aiming to provide clarity to all involved parties.
If needed, the detailed reasons for the decision will be published separately by June 1 and no further comments will be made until the ruling is issued.
Goldstein told talkSPORT (19 April, 5:46pm): “Is there a point in a holding statement? Just get on with it. So embarrassing for everyone involved. Especially the fans.”
Everton remain in a state of limbo post the deductions
The Premier League’s decision to announce the verdict on Everton’s appeal against their two-point deduction before the season ends is a step towards providing clarity to the involved parties.
However, the delay in the final decision and the potential separate release of detailed reasons by June has left the club in a state of limbo.
The lack of clarity and the prolonged uncertainty from the league is indeed ridiculous.
It puts the club in a difficult position, not knowing their final standing until the very end.
This uncertainty could affect the morale of the players and the club’s plans for the next season.
It’s crucial for the league to make timely decisions and provide transparency to avoid such situations that leave clubs like Everton in a state of limbo.
There also seems to be a clear bias towards certain clubs and against certain ones so it’s far from an even playing field.
