“If the premier league is going to be honest” Man City told they should be ‘relegated to the Conference’ amid ‘insane’ Nottingham Forest, Everton Psr verdicts

Tony Bellew, a fervent Everton supporter and former boxing champion, has openly criticized the Premier League, labeling it a ‘disgrace’ following the recent points deduction handed to Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest received a four-point deduction for breaching the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), a penalty that has sparked controversy, especially when compared to Everton’s initial ten-point deduction for a similar breach. The discrepancy in penalties, despite Forest having a higher overspend (£34.5m) than Everton (£19.5m), has raised questions about the consistency of the league’s disciplinary actions.

Bellew’s frustration is further amplified by the ongoing situation with Manchester City, which has been charged with 115 PSR breaches but has yet to face any punishment. Speaking on talkSPORT, Bellew expressed his disbelief and anger over the lack of action against Manchester City, contrasting it with the swift penalties imposed on Everton and Nottingham Forest. He argued that if Manchester City were to be penalized in a manner consistent with the treatment of Everton and Forest, they could potentially face relegation to non-league football.

The situation is particularly precarious for Everton, which could face another points deduction this season after being charged with a second breach by the Premier League. This looming threat places both Everton and Nottingham Forest in serious danger of relegation, underscoring the significant impact of the PSR verdicts on their respective seasons.

Bellew’s comments reflect a broader concern among fans and stakeholders about the fairness and transparency of the Premier League’s disciplinary processes, especially in light of the significant financial and competitive implications of PSR breaches and the resulting penalties.
