The Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, called for the Premier League to drop their 10-point penalty against Everton, labeling the move 'deeply troubling.' However, the Premier League denied Burnham's claim of 'abuse of process' in the Everton case. Additionally, it was revealed that two Premier League footballers and a club boss have continued to play and remain in post while under police investigation for abuse claims. Meanwhile, Manchester City and the Premier League have agreed on a trial date over 115 financial rule-break charges, potentially facing a huge points deduction. A YouGov poll indicates that 67% of Britons believe sportspeople facing such accusations should be suspended during investigations.
