The severe punishment serves as a warning to other English clubs who are under investigation for alleged financial fair play breaches.
Manchester City faces a reported 115 breaches of FFP while Chelsea has come under scrutiny for alleged payments during Roman Abramovich’s time at the club.
According to Stefan Borson, a lawyer who has previously worked with Manchester City, claims that both clubs could potentially face relegation.
“Without seeing the judgement/award -10 points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward FFP [Financial Fair Play] breach to me.” he said on X.
“But reinforces that sanctions against City [if proven] and now Chelsea [if charged and admitted on the off-books payments] will be potentially relegation inducing.”
