Richard Masters thinks important Premier League evidence won’t be made public, which results in Everton losing points.

Premier League CEO Richard Masters has stated that crucial evidence related to Everton’s points deduction will remain undisclosed.

Masters, who faced questioning from a Government panel regarding Everton’s treatment,

defended the league’s handling of the case, asserting that it was conducted “consistently and impartially.”

In response to inquiries from politicians, Masters defended both the Premier

League and the independent panel overseeing Everton’s case in a three-page statement.

He also addressed previous controversial comments made regarding the status of clubs, clarifying

that all Premier League clubs are considered equal.

During the panel hearing, Masters faced criticism for seemingly dismissing Everton and Nottingham

Forest as “small clubs” amidst discussions on profit and sustainability regulations.

In the aftermath, the panel urged Masters to provide clarity and requested the publication of his full witness statement and the minutes from the Premier League board meeting.

However, Masters declined to publish either document, citing confidentiality surrounding legal

proceedings and the private nature of Premier League board meetings.

He emphasized the league’s commitment to fairness and respect towards clubs, regardless of their size.

Masters noted that it was customary for both parties involved in the case to propose sanction suggestions, with Everton being informed of the Premier League’s stance two months prior to the October hearing.

Regarding his previous characterization of Everton and Forest, Masters clarified that he was responding to the framing of the question and did not intend to undermine the clubs’ status.

He affirmed that both Everton and Forest are valued members of the Premier League with rich histories and passionate fanbases, emphasizing that the league applies rules consistently across all clubs.
