The Mayor of Liverpool has written to the Premier League over what he says is the \u201cexcessive\u201d 10-point penalty handed to Everton for breaching league financial rules.<\/p>\n

An independent commission imposed the sanction on the Toffees after the club were found to have exceeded permitted losses over a three-year period by \u00a319.5million, with the decision announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram has now written to the league\u2019s chief executive Richard Masters to express his \u201cdeep concern\u201d over the sanction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to deduct 10 points from Everton is excessive considering the club\u2019s willingness and proactivity in collaborating with the Premier League to ensure all dealings were FFP compliant when it was clear they were close to breaching the rules,\u201d Rotheram wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a number of mitigating factors in Everton\u2019s transgression in relation to debt ceilings that are in effect geo-political and therefore outside of their control.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs many people have pointed out, the punishment imposed appears severe for the charge in question and sets a new precedent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen compared to sanctions handed to other clubs for financial infringements it surpasses previous penalties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2010, when Portsmouth entered administration, a case of serious mismanagement, they were hit with only a nine-point penalty. For falling into administration a second time in three years, in 2012, they faced a 10 point deduction. The implication that Everton\u2019s actions are somehow more egregious is frankly ludicrous.<\/p>\n

As a founding member of both the Football League and the Premier League, Everton are an important part of the fabric of English football. They deserve to be treated with respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI completely support the club\u2019s appeal and would urge you to take a more balanced approach and consider alternative forms of punishment that do not unfairly penalise the club\u2019s players and supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a founding member of both the Football League and the Premier League, Everton are an important part of the fabric of English football. They deserve to be treated with respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club immediately indicated they would appeal against the sanction, with the appeal process expected to be completed within the course of the current season.<\/p>\n

Everton could also now face compensation claims against them over the case, however no club has so far commented publicly to indicate their intention to make a claim.<\/p>\n
