Merseyside club to demand formal explanation from Premier League
Chelsea docked no points for rule breaches, unlike Everton and Forest
Everton are exploring a possible legal challenge against the Premier League for their handling of Chelsea’s undisclosed payments sanction.
The club are understood to be preparing to write to the Premier League requesting a formal explanation for its failure to take any sporting sanctions against Chelsea, with their legal options also being considered.
Chelsea were fined £10.75m and given a suspended transfer ban by the Premier League last week after reporting £47.5m of hidden payments to agents and players made over a seven-year period, a punishment the rest of the top-flight clubs regarded as lenient.
