Andy Burnham has accused the Premier League of 'making it up as they go along' with Everton and Nottingham Forest's points deductions
Andy Burnham says the Premier League have ruined Everton’s penultimate season at Goodison Park and has accused them of “making it up as they go along” after Nottingham Forest were given a smaller penalty than the Blues despite a bigger breach.
“The fact that this grand old ground is just shrouded constantly in protest and frustration and anger, it isn’t right to me. But not just to us, look at the whole bottom of the table.READ MORE: I have an issue with how the Premier League has treated Everton - but it's not the only thing “Will they use the same formula with Everton? Will Everton and Forest be the only clubs ever to be charged under this opaque... I won’t even call it a regime... because I think they’ve been making it up as they go along. And this is the point, I think they took this action against Everton and targeted us in the way that they have done to try and prove that they could regulate to push back the idea of a government regulator.
“You just don’t know the framework that they’re using to make judgements on the sanction that should be applied. And then you’ve got the whole effect on football, there was barely a transfer window this time round. “We’ve got to a point where you can’t celebrate a goal because you think some faceless person somewhere in an industrial park is going to rule it out and we’re going to have this situation on the final day of the Premier League where we won’t know who is staying up and who is going down.”
