Martin Keown and Simon Jordan had a heated exchange on live radio as they discussed the ongoing appeal process for Everton’s 10-point deduction. Jordan suggested that the players should not be feeling anxious about the situation, as the appeal was heard in January and they should just focus on their jobs. Keown, on the other hand, pointed out that the uncertainty around the appeal could benefit Everton’s opponents and affect the relegation battle.
It is unrealistic to expect the players to ignore off-field matters that could be season-defining, especially when it could potentially benefit their opponents. The lack of updates around the potential takeover of the club only adds to the frustration for everyone involved.
