Everton supporters have protested against the Premier League by flying a plane over the Etihad Stadium during Manchester City\u2019s clash against Liverpool with a banner reading: \u201cPremier League = Corrupt #UTFT #EFC\u201d<\/p>\n

The protest comes on the back of an independent commission docking Everton 10-points for breaking the league\u2019s profit and sustainability rules, a move which Toffees manager Sean Dyche described as \u2018disproportionate\u2019.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of unrest on Merseyside towards the Premier League for the sanction, which has sent Everton into the relegation zone, and today\u2019s protest is the latest part of the ongoing saga.<\/p>\n

At his press conference ahead of this weekend\u2019s fixtures, Dyche addressed the points deduction saying: \u201cI think like everyone I was shocked and seemingly from the wave of noise after that, most people in football are shocked by the enormity of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cDisproportionate is a word used by the club. Obviously we feel a bit aggrieved by that, but on the other hand it doesn\u2019t change the focus. The focus since I got there is sorting things out on the pitch, getting the team to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has just given us a push backwards to come forwards again. The job hasn\u2019t changed. It\u2019s just made it more difficult under the current circumstances until the appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know every inch of the past, I don\u2019t know why the commission have come out with what they have but I certainly believe in what the club put forward. It feels disproportionate, it feels unjust and plenty of voices out there feel the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is done is done for now, appeal pending, and we have to get on with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Everton don\u2019t face Manchester United until tomorrow, the protestors potentially chose this game to fly their banner as a separate independent commission is looking\u00a0over 115 charges brought against Man City for similar financial breaches, though theirs is an ongoing case of greater complexity. Additionally, Everton\u2019s match on Sunday takes place in the late afternoon through evening, by which time the banner may not have been visible.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also under investigation for a range of potential breaches from the Roman Abramovich era, including allegations of secret payments possibly relating to transfers and managerial appointments.<\/p>\n
