The Premier League updates Everton’s point deduction while Man City awaits the outcome of the charges.

The most recent update on Manchester City involves Premier League’s chief executive responding to a letter following a government panel meeting held last month.

Richard Masters, the Premier League chief, disclosed that crucial evidence related to Everton’s punishment for breaching Profitability and Sustainability regulations will not be disclosed publicly.

Everton faced a 10-point deduction at the end of last year, intensifying their battle against

relegation in the Premier League.

This decision followed Manchester City’s charges of 115 alleged breaches of financial rules back in February 2023.

Masters faced scrutiny from a government panel regarding the decision regarding Everton.

Subsequently, a letter was sent to the chief executive requesting the publication of his full witness statement to an independent commission overseeing Everton’s case, along with the minutes from a Premier League board

meeting in August, during which officials purportedly agreed on the penalty formula to be presented to the independent commission.

In response to the letter, Masters confirmed that such documents would not be made public:

“As the committee will appreciate, being a private business, it is not our practice to provide or publish minutes of Premier League Board Meetings,” he stated.

“Nor are we able to publish submissions the Premier League Board or executive make as part of confidential legal proceedings.”

Nevertheless, he emphasized that the Premier League had consistently sought to treat the club fairly and respectfully throughout the process.

He added, “Of course, as the competition organiser and administrator, it is also our role to ensure

fairness for clubs that have adhered to the rules. That means enforcing our rulebook consistently and impartially.”
