After the ten-point deduction they were initially handed, Everton were generally accepting with the eventual six points they managed to get it reduced to.
Especially given the fact that it really catapulted them up the table, offering some much-needed daylight between themselves and the bottom three.
However, Nottingham Forest’s recent four-point deduction has expunged any happiness, instead provoking fury at the lack of consistency in the Premier League’s rulings.
Andy Burnham, as one of the Toffees’ most vocal defenders throughout this process, was yet again quick to lambast the decision.
What Andy Burnham said about Everton’s deduction
Speaking to Mark Chapman on The Sports Agents podcast, the Mayor of Greater Manchester actively sought out the pundit in order to offer his verdict on Everton.
As someone who has been silenced so often throughout this deduction process, it was clear to see why he was so desperate to get his words into the mainstream media.
He would offer a passionate argument against the Premier League: ‘I feel so frustrated about it. They’ve ruined this season. The second to last season at Goodison Park, they have ruined it. The fact that this grand old ground is just shrouded constantly in protest and frustration and anger… it isn’t right to me.
