Fallout from Everton’s points deduction sends shockwaves through EPL giants

In a surprising turn of events, former Arsenal chairman David Dein has sounded the alarm, cautioning football powerhouses Manchester City and Chelsea to brace themselves for potential catastrophe in the wake of Everton’s 10-point deduction by the Premier League.

The Toffees find themselves teetering on the edge of relegation following their recent conviction for violating financial regulations. Yet, this unfolding drama extends beyond Everton’s fiscal affairs.

With Manchester City grappling with a staggering 115 charges and Chelsea undergoing scrutiny for potential historical breaches, Dein suggests that other clubs should be on high alert, expressing that they should be “quaking in their boots” in the aftermath of Everton’s penalization.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Dein clarified the distinction between the Premier League’s charges and the subsequent judgment, emphasizing that an independent tribunal, not the Premier League, holds the authority to decide outcomes.

While Dein acknowledges the seeming severity of the punishment, he underscores the possibility of a ripple effect across other clubs, describing such repercussions as nothing short of a disaster for the broader landscape of English football.
