Gary Neville delivers instant reaction to changing profit and sustainability rules after cases against Everton, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest
During the live broadcast of the Chelsea vs. Newcastle match at Stamford Bridge on March 11, Gary Neville, the sky sport pundit, responded to the latest developments in the discussion of Conor Gallagher’s potential sale, initiated by commentator Bill Leslie.
Earlier in the evening, news surfaced that the existing regulations, allowing clubs to incur a maximum loss of £105 million over three seasons, are poised to be replaced by a system resembling UEFA rules, wherein spending must align with a percentage of a club’s revenue.
With a chuckle, Neville remarked at 9:11 PM, “Now that a few of them have been caught? Change the rules!”
Current regulations prompt investigations into Everton, Manchester City, and Nottingham Forest
It has already been reported that none of the ongoing cases will be impacted by the impending rule changes, meaning Everton won’t benefit from the new regulations. If the decision to replace the current system with regulations akin to those in European competitions aims to avoid legal issues, it can hardly be attributed to Goodison Park.
Everton has already faced a point deduction following a contentious dispute, leading to significant resentment toward the Premier League. The sanction was reduced on appeal due to legal errors made by the initial independent commission.
While it’s often argued that Everton should accept the consequences quietly since the rules were voted in by the clubs themselves, it’s worth noting that last summer, when only one club was referred, the top-flight sides didn’t react, despite the numerous charges against Manchester City and an ongoing investigation into Chelsea.
If Neville’s sentiment accurately reflects the situation, indicating that clubs are pushing for rule changes because they find themselves in violation of the current regulations, then it hasn’t proven beneficial for Everton at Goodison Park.
Despite numerous arguments suggesting that the existing rules create more problems than they solve, Everton hasn’t seen any favorable outcome from the proposed changes.
