Unlike Everton, former Liverpool player John Aldridge thinks neither Chelsea nor Manchester City will lose points. Recently, the Toffees lost 10 points for not adhering to the profit and sustainability regulations (PSRs).

Sean Dyche’s team now has just four points as a result of the penalty, sending them into the relegation zone. Earlier this year, the Premier League filed a complaint against Everton and sent the matter to an impartial panel.

The Merseyside team acknowledged at the hearing that they had violated the PSRs of the league for the season that ended in 2021–2022. The commission said during a five-day hearing last month that Everton’s PSR calculation caused a loss of £124.5 million, which was more than allowed.

Consequently, a 10-point reduction was applied right away. Following the nationwide backlash against the sanction, many on social media immediately blamed Chelsea and Manchester City, raising concerns about their spending patterns.

Since Todd Boehly came control in May 2022, the Blues have spent about £1 billion on new players alone. In contrast, the Premier League winners have been among the top spenders since Sheikh Mansour took over at the Etihad Stadium in September 2008.

Aldridge doesn’t think the two clubs will face a similar penalty despite recent concerns about their financial histories. The Reds great asserted in an interview with the Liverpool Echo that Chelsea and City’s weaponry had “scared off” investigators.

Aldridge remarked, “Everton were a sitting duck.” “I’m not sure how to measure it, so I suppose it all depends on what occurs in the future. We’ve all witnessed the events at Man City (115 charges) and Chelsea under Roman Abramovich.

Was it as a result of the other teams’ subsequent success? Who else is in the top six? Maybe because Everton doesn’t have the funds to fight it.

“City and Chelsea have limitless resources, so they’ve scared away those who have been attempting to carry things out for years, postponing and postponing… Although Everton was not physically capable of doing that, I’m confident they could have done it with the same tools.”

He went on, “I’m waiting to see if the league, and that club in particular, follow suit now that they’re under pressure to do something.” In the end, I hope that justice wins out because if it works for Everton, it will undoubtedly work for City and any other team.”
