Andy Burnham criticizes the media’s portrayal of Everton’s Premier League point deduction.

Andy Burnham has expressed dissatisfaction with the limited media coverage of Everton’s 10-point deduction in the Premier League, which stands as a record in English top-flight history.

Despite the initial attention the story received, especially in newspapers, Burnham,

the Greater Manchester Mayor, criticized the subsequent decrease in coverage on his personal Twitter page on February 4.

In his tweet, Burnham highlighted the significant nature of Everton’s penalty and questioned the lack of ongoing media scrutiny.

He suggested that this situation raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest within the football industry.

While the controversy surrounding the points deduction has been extensively discussed, Everton fans continue to feel aggrieved, particularly with the possibility of a second Potential

Squad Registration (PSR) punishment looming. The club has presented its case against the initial 10-point deduction, and a verdict on that matter is expected soon.

Burnham’s point emphasizes a perceived reluctance of mainstream media to challenge

the Premier League, possibly due to existing partnerships.

He commended supporters for their persistence in addressing the issue, expressing

hope that the pressure exerted might lead to a reconsideration of the deduction, at least to some extent.

The upcoming week is crucial for Everton, not only in terms of the ongoing legal

matters but also considering external factors like the involvement of 777 Partners.

Observers are keen to see how these cases will be covered in the media during this period.
