Simon Jordan speculates ‘bigger sentence’ for Everton in fresh PSR verdict on talkSPORT

Simon Jordan has warned Everton a second points deduction as a result of their additional Profit and Sustainability breach could result in a larger sentence.

The former Crystal Palace owner compared the situation to reoffending after coming out of prison, stating that if you then commit the same crime again you would be handed a longer sentence.

This comes after he also shared that the only outcome of their appeal can be positive, and at the very least the charge would stay the same.

Speaking live on talkSPORT [20 February, 10:10], Jordan shared: “I don’t think there’s any indication that they’re going to get sanctioned further for this appeal, so it can only get better or stay the same.

“The bigger concern for Everton hasn’t got to be this appeal, it has got to be what happens next. I fail to understand how, if they were even to reduce the sanction, and they get done for the same offence, I thought you’d get a bigger punishment.

If you commit a crime and then come out of prison and do the same crime again, you tend to get a bigger sentence. So I wouldn’t be too optimistic.”

Could Everton face a larger points deduction?

Jordan’s warning for the fans not to be overly optimistic in the coming weeks may well fall on deaf ears – if Everton are given any portion of their points deduction back, it could result in movement up the table and a momentary ease in the concern at Goodison Park.

The second PSR charge has been pushed to the back of people’s minds for now, with the focus aimed at the pending result of the initial appeal process

That process has drawn heavy criticism from the likes of Jamie O’Hara, who claimed it should not be done in the middle of the season, and Jeff Stelling, who called for more transparency.

Meanwhile, the second charge remains in the background, and after Jordan’s warning, more concern may begin to grow among the fanbase at Goodison Park.
