Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness has raised concerns about the potential impact on the Premier League’s credibility if either Everton or Nottingham Forest were to face relegation after the season has concluded. Despite Everton already having been penalized with a six-point deduction (which was later reduced from 10) for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Regulations, both clubs now find themselves facing further charges that could affect their points tally. The verdicts on these charges are anticipated to be delivered no later than April 8, with the possibility of appeals leading to a final decision being postponed until after the conclusion of the season on May 24.Wyness, speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, expressed his dismay at the potential scenario of relegation being decided post-season, suggesting that this would undoubtedly bring the league into disrepute. He highlighted the urgency of resolving these issues promptly and pointed out the flaws in the current rules, particularly as new regulations are set to be implemented.With Everton currently treading carefully in their fight against relegation and Nottingham Forest facing a similar battle to secure their top-flight status, the waiting game for the outcome of these charges adds an element of uncertainty to the final stages of the season. Wyness believes that the Premier League risks losing credibility if the relegation fate of these clubs remains uncertain beyond the conclusion of the regular season fixtures. As the deadline for appeals approaches and the league faces potential upheaval in its regulations, the pressure is mounting for a timely and transparent resolution to uphold the integrity of English football’s top tier.
