Everton have been deducted 10 points by the Premier League for breaching financial rules and Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on the decision.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the Scouser said: “It feels very excessive and I do feel for Everton.”
People will certainly have different opinions on the Goodison side’s punishment but it all boils down to what this means to Manchester City and Chelsea.
If 10 points can be taken off our neighbours, then the other rule breakers will have to ready themselves for even more severe deductions in any future decisions.

If it’s 10 points or 20 points it doesn’t matter as long as this is consistent and applied to any other transgressors. If City and/or Chelsea are found to have overspent then they should receive similar penalties or worse considering they are accused of several offences and Everton only one.
