Everton fans are showing their support for Manchester City in their legal battle against the Premier League, which could potentially lead to financial benefits for the Toffees.
Manchester City has launched a legal challenge against the Premier League, arguing that the financial rules are a “tyranny of the majority” and seeking to remove the rules that determine the fair value of commercial deals.
This move has sparked interest among Everton fans, as their club was docked eight points in the recently completed season due to breaches of financial rules. If Manchester City’s legal challenge is successful, it could potentially pave the way for Everton to challenge their own punishments. If the eight points were reinstated, Everton would jump three places to 12th in the league table, resulting in an additional £12.5 million in prize money.
While Manchester City’s case has received mixed reactions from fans across English football, a significant number of Evertonians are backing the Citizens.
Many are even suggesting that Everton could follow in Manchester City’s footsteps and enter their own legal battle with the Premier League to reclaim the points and money they feel they are owed.
The potential outcome of this legal battle has sparked excitement among Everton fans, who see it as an opportunity for their club to gain a financial boost.
The situation is being closely watched, and the outcome could have significant implications for both Manchester City and Everton, as well as the broader landscape of English football.
