Fans question how City escape punishment

With the news of Everton and Forest facing punishment, social media has exploded with questions about when City will be dealt with.

While many were genuinely upset over the news, others saw the lighter side of City’s ability to get away with things.

Here's how social media reacted:

@FCB_ACEE:

“When are they going to take action against Man City?”

@NoodleHairCR7:

“Rules are only for the small clubs. No punishment for Man City.”

@Afc_Duloh:

“But a certain club is getting away with 115 charges.”

@Football__Tweet:

“Man City could win their 6th title in 7 years with those 115 charges hanging over them and no resolution in sight. What is going on at the PL? Why do they seem so consumed with charging and punishing the teams down the lower end of the table before dealing with City's case?”

@AnfieldRd96:

“Genuinely couldn’t care less about what’s happening to Everton, but what’s happening with these Man City charges?”

Other EPL teams that face deductions

While it isn’t a common thing for teams to face points deductions, Everton aren’t the first side to be hit with one.

Sports Brief reported that Middlesbrough were the first side to be hit with a points deductions in 1997.

Boro were charged after they failed to report for a game against Blackburn Rovers in December 1996.
