Andy Burnham insists Everton were treated unfairly by Premier League

Andy Burnham has reiterated his firm belief that Everton were treated unfairly during their Premier League financial cases. Speaking to the BBC, Burnham explained that Everton's past experience is why he refuses to rush to judgment regarding Manchester City's recent guilty verdict. He stated that he still firmly holds the view that the process Everton faced was unjust.

Everton received a 10-point deduction in November 2023 for PSR breaches, which was reduced to six on appeal, followed by a separate two-point deduction in April 2024. Burnham criticized the public rush to proclaim guilt at the time and described similar reactions as frustrating.
