'Corrupt' - Everton fans send clear message to Premier League ahead of Manchester United clash

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Everton supporters have been handed cards with the Premier League logo and the word 'corrupt' emblazoned across the front of them ahead of Sunday afternoon's tussle with Manchester United at Goodison Park.

United's short trip to Merseyside marks Everton's first outing since they were hit with a 10-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's financial rules.

The Toffees were slapped with the biggest points deduction in the division's history during the international break, with the 10-point loss confirmed on November 17.

An independent commission found that Everton's losses to 2021-22 amounted to £124.5million. Rules state that Premier League clubs are permitted to lose £105m over a three-year period.
