Everton protest group slam the Premier League after 10-point deduction as they question why Toffees fans are punished when Super League rebel clubs only received 'measly fines'

An Everton fan group, NSNOW, has slammed the Premier League for their decision to impose a 10-point sanction on the Merseyside club, questioning why Toffees' fans are being punished after Super League rebel clubs received 'measly fines'.

The sanctions were made against the Blues after they had breached the league's profit and sustainability rules, making a loss of £372million over a three-year period - £122m more than the £250m permitted by the league.

The decision, which has rocked English football, has subsequently seen the Blues drop from 14th to 19th in the Premier League standings - level with Burnley at the bottom rung of the table.
