While the preparation and energy Everton fans put into protesting against perceived Premier League corruption over the weekend was commendable, some folk are finding it difficult to understand what it is exactly they are so unhappy about. Everton are founder members of the Premier League. Everton broke Premier League rules. Everton admitted breaking Premier League rules. Everton were punished for breaking Premier League rules. So while Everton and their fans have every right to feel aggrieved by what they see as an excessively punitive sanction, it seems a bit odd that they have decided the body that handed it down is “corrupt”. If anything, it could be argued that the decision to slap one of their most established members with a 10-point deduction is evidence that the Premier League is demonstrably even-handed and fair. For now, Football Daily is reserving judgment until we see what happens if Manchester City are found guilty of any or all of the 115 charges of rule-breaking currently levelled at them.
