Peter Reid hits out at Premier League over Everton verdict

The Friedkins have appointed a new law firm to lead Everton’s appeal against the recent ruling to pay Burnley in the region of £40m.

Taking to social media platform X, Reid did not hold back with his thoughts on Everton’s latest punishment.

“Everton have already been punished for this PSR breach, and now we face another hit based on “models and hypotheticals”,” he said.

“What?! That’s just wrong and totally unfair, especially when compared to how other clubs have been treated.”

Regardless of anything else going on in the Premier League, this verdict would have been met with frustration from those on Merseyside.

However, every club in England is still waiting on the result of Manchester City’s 115 charges.

This has been going on for years and a verdict now feels long overdue; yet the Premier League waste no time in bringing the hammer down on Everton.

Everton will not be heavily affected by the £40m ruling, with the Friedkins prepared to pay the bill if needed.

The £40m will also not be used against Everton’s financial records in the new SCR regulations.

Regardless of all of this, there is clearly a sense of injustice on Merseyside and the Premier League seemingly making another example out of the Toffees for something they have already been punished for.
