When Everton were sanctioned I felt sorry for them, but wrote a piece understanding the PL's position. Daft of me. I accepted the 'rules are rules' argument and assumed there would be consistency going forward.
Instead there has been none. PL wanted 12 pts for Everton!
Clubs where the Premier League has been hardline and imposed points deductions: Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton, Nottingham Forest. Still pursuing Leicester over late accounts.
Its lack of teeth with the 'elite' clubs in comparison is embarrassing.

Ex-PGMOL chief @HACKETTREF can't believe what VAR did in Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace. 💥

@PED7@Deborah1878 Because the media are scared of the Premier league. When they started talking about Everton 10pt deduction it suddenly went very quiet.
Why dont the media hammer the ref and VAR officials involved and start asking them to be punished instead of just letting them get away with it like they do week in and week out.
@StanCollymore@teenytinysuz Well said Stan. It is all to protect the brand so it can be sold for more money to give to the rich clubs at the expense of the irrelevant ones. It is corrupt
The Premier League need to get a firm grip on refereeing standards and decisions pronto, because if I'm right ( reading a lot of tweets from supporters of ALL clubs since the King decision) the concern about standards is at, if not beyond tipping point.
We no longer know what is being punished and why and it's making many a game simply unwatchable.
Listen to people @premierleague@FA_PGMOL, you're losing the room.
I would love a manager to come out and say it how it is. The referees and VAR are either corrupt or inept. Force the media to talk about it. The silence about Everton and Forest being deducted points but still nothing about City, Chelsea or Utd says it all. #ProtectTheBrand
