Everton points deduction to be heard in Parliament with early day motion

Everton's 10-point deduction by the Premier League will be discussed in Parliament after a Liverpool MP called the punishment "grossly unfair".

Ian Byrne, MP for West Derby, has tabled an early day motion (EDM) in the House of Commons which will be laid on Tuesday for other MPs to support.

Everton received the sanction on Friday after being found to have breached the Premier League's financial rules.

Byrne also called to "immediately establish" an independent regulator.

In February, the government announced plans to appoint a regulator, following a fan-led review last year.

Plans for the regulator were outlined in the King's Speech this month.
