Paul Heckingbottom insists Everton's points deduction could 'open the door for other big decisions'... but the Sheffield United boss admits the Toffees sanction won't help the Blades win more points

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom believes Everton's points deduction could open the door for a raft of other clubs to be punished.

The Toffees were docked 10 points last week for breaching Premier League financial rules over a three-year period, plummeting them from 14th in the table into the relegation zone.

The Blades moved up in the table as a result, but Heckingbottom insists it will have no positive impact on his side.

'That is not going to help us get the points we need, so we are not considering it,' he said.
