Everton’s 10-point deduction makes relegation look very real prospect for Man City and Chelsea

A former financial advisor to Man City believes Pep Guardiola’s side and Chelsea run the risk of relegation from the Premier League. Additionally, recent reports suggest that Burnley, Leeds, and Leicester are intending to sue Everton for a total of £300m. The situation surrounding Everton has become increasingly precarious due to the 10-point deduction they have received. This deduction stems from a single breach of Premier League rules.

Considering the severity of Everton’s penalty, the threat of a 30-point deduction or even automatic relegation from the Premier League becomes a very real possibility for both Manchester City and Chelsea if charges against them are proven in an independent regulatory commission. The spotlight is especially on Manchester City, as they have been charged with a staggering 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules. However, it is important to note that City’s case might take up to two years to be resolved.

Meanwhile, Chelsea remains under investigation, and it seems inevitable that charges will be brought against them. This is due to the fact that the club’s new owners have self-reported substantial payments that potentially violated Premier League rules during the previous ownership under Roman Abramovich. The significance of these reported payments suggests that Chelsea’s situation could worsen in the coming months.

The potential fallout from these allegations could have far-reaching consequences for each club involved. Relegation from the Premier League would not only impact the teams’ financial stability but also their reputation and future prospects. Everton, despite being the first club to face punishment, may not be the only one bearing the brunt of the league’s enforcement in the near future. The uncertainty surrounding these cases has sent shockwaves through the football community, leaving fans and experts alike eagerly awaiting the outcomes.
