Andy Burnham has written to the Premier League telling them to ‘null and void’ Everton’s 10-point punishment for breaching financial rules due to an ‘abuse of process’ in altering the framework used to make the judgment midway through the case.
Everton were charged by the Premier League and referred to an independent commission in March for breaching profit and sustainability rules, but the framework was only put together on August 10 of this year.
Mayor of Manchester, Labour politician and Everton season ticket holder Burnham has slammed the process for being unfair as it was introduced in the middle of the process against the Toffees.
