The Times has revealed the Premier league spent close to £30m last season prosecuting its own clubs, including Everton. Next season could also prove expensive
The cost of the Premier League’s battles with Everton and others is said to have reached almost £30m.
Those cases led to Everton being deducted a combined total of eight points - but not before a successful appeal by the club led to its first punishment being dramatically reduced from 10 points - the highest deduction ever handed out to an English top flight club - to six points. Everton’s three hearings - the club chose to withdraw from an appeal against its second punishment - drove up the cost of legal counsel instructed by the Premier League. Forest were deducted four points after their hearing and then appealed, without success. The Times, which revealed the extent of the Premier League’s costs, said probes into Leicester City and Chelsea also contributed to the expense.
