Ian Wright explains what makes him so ‘sad’ after recent Everton PSR development

As long as there are eyes on Everton’s situation, they will be gaining supporters in their fight to escape punishment for their fiscal misconduct.

Few at the club would debate the guilty verdict, but it is instead the quantum of the subsequent sanction that has turned heads and frustrated the masses on Merseyside.

Merely highlighting the Premier League for being the defunct bully desperate to remain in power, now the real battle has begun, with a new lawyer on the case for the Toffees to defend not one, but two appeal processes this season.

He will certainly have to earn his money given the mess they are currently in.

The likes of Ian Wright and co would discuss it earlier in the week, with Roy Keane, Gary Neville and more all weighing in on what could be a catastrophic downfall for one of England’s most historic clubs.

What Ian Wright said about Everton and PSR

The former Arsenal and Crystal Palace striker has always had a fondness for Everton, whether that be as a pundit for ITV or Match of the Day.

He seems to will them on to claim victory, opponent dependant, and largely aligns with what they stand for.

So, their recent troubles will clearly have upset him, as he outlined on The Stick to Football Podcast.

Speaking alongside the likes of Jamie Carragher, they would all discuss the Toffees’ troubles as well as Farhad Moshiri‘s failures in great detail.

However, his response was a far more emotional one: ‘What’s sad for me about the whole thing, when you look at the future for Everton and the 777, I read that the CEO and the CFO have been released – that’s the future.

‘Those are the people that are meant to be buying the club and they’ve been suspended, they’ve been removed. So, when no one is even going [to the hearing] – that is supposedly the future, it does not look good for Everton.’

What happens next for Everton?

Whilst Everton have outlined their disgust with the new ruling, they must first finish their current appeal before starting a new one.

That, which is due to come to its conclusion in February, could then set a huge precedent for the one that would follow.

After all, a plea of non-guilty would surely expunge them of any punishment, whereas a guilty verdict might actually help them escape further sanction due to what Alan Myers feels would be double jeopardy.

For the outsiders, all that can be done is wait. However, those inside the club, and particularly the legal team, are in for the fight of a lifetime.
