Simon Jordan explains why Everton’s latest points deduction is the ‘best thing’ that could have happened

The news of Everton’s two-point deduction in the Premier League has been met with mixed reactions from pundits and fans alike. While the deduction is far from ideal for the club, one pundit has suggested a potential benefit from this outcome. Simon Jordan, the former Crystal Palace chairman, has claimed that the points deduction could be the best thing that could have happened to Everton.

Jordan, who has been critical of Everton’s owner Farhad Moshiri, made the comments during a live talkSPORT broadcast. He suggested that the deduction could galvanize the team and help them escape the relegation battle. Jordan pointed out that Everton has a history of recapturing form rapidly after a deduction, as seen in their four-game win streak in the Premier League following the ten-point penalty last season.

Everton currently sits in the relegation zone, but they still have a chance to escape the drop with just one or two wins from their final seven matches. The team faces Chelsea and Nottingham Forest in their next two matches, which could be crucial in their quest for survival.

Jordan’s comments have sparked debate among football fans and pundits. Some have agreed with his assessment, pointing out that Everton has a history of performing well under pressure. Others have criticized Jordan for downplaying the significance of the points deduction, arguing that it could have a devastating impact on the club’s chances of survival.

Regardless of one’s opinion on Jordan’s comments, it is clear that Everton faces a significant challenge in the coming weeks. The team will need to dig deep and find the form that has eluded them for much of the season. With the right attitude and a bit of luck, they could still avoid relegation and secure their place in the Premier League for another year.
