Arsenal legend Ian Wright is concerned about the precedent set by Everton’s partially successful appeal against their 10 points deduction suggesting it may impact Manchester City’s legal battle with the Premier League. Everton’s punishment was reduced from 10 points to six for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Wright questions the independent commission’s credentials after errors in Everton’s case expressing worry about City’s legal strategy. He proposes handling appeals after determining judgments to avoid embarrassing situations. Everton faces a second disciplinary hearing for additional breaches with a decision expected by April 8.
