Seamus Coleman questions Everton punishment and says Man City case is ‘killing’ the Premier League

Former Everton defender Seamus Coleman stated that the unresolved Manchester City financial charges case is "killing" the Premier League. Speaking on the Overlap Fan Debate, Coleman expressed frustration over how lingering uncertainty impacts every team, questioning why the situation has dragged on while clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest faced swift penalties for Profitability and Sustainability Rules breaches.

Coleman reflected on Everton receiving a total deduction of eight points during the 2023–24 season, criticizing club executives for decisions that punished players and supporters. He noted that while Manchester City's alleged rule breaches affected previous Champions League qualifications, the ongoing controversy casts a damaging shadow over the English top flight.
