The Premier League's 10-point deduction from Everton has been brought before Parliament by a Liverpool Member of Parliament who described the penalty as "grossly unfair."

The House of Commons will receive an early day motion (EDM) from Labour MP Ian Byrne representing West Derby on Tuesday for consideration by other MPs.

After it was discovered that Everton had violated the Premier League's financial regulations, the team was sanctioned on Friday.


"Immediately establish" an independent regulator was another demand made by Byrne.

After a fan-led review last year, the government announced in February that it would appoint a regulator.

This month's King's Speech contained plans for the regulator.

According to King Charles III, the Football Governance Bill will "safeguard the future of football clubs for the benefit of communities and fans" by introducing a regulator.


The club argued that the Covid pandemic had an impact on the transfer market, that the direct impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on the club's ability to secure lucrative USM sponsorship, and that the club had complied fully with Premier League regulations for the previous two years, but the commission disagreed and rejected this argument.

According to BBC Sport, the Toffees plan to file an official appeal with the Premier League this week in opposition to the ruling.

A "suspension of all proceedings and sanctions made by the Commission until the regulator makes its own determination" was what Byrne asked for in the motion.
