Everton up to 15th!

Why? They didn't win a four-point game. The Premier League reduced their 10-point Profit and Sustainability Rules penalty handed down in November to six. So Nottingham Forest now sits in 17th place, one place and four points from relegation.

The Premier League is botching its rule-making atrociously. VAR has not improved the English game. The Everton punishment was handed down--twice--after the season began. And they still have Manchester City's punishment, if there is to be any, for violations going back to 2009, to levy. What are they going to do, vacate titles won? Relegate the world's greatest club to the Coca-Cola League? This is a fast-moving world. The Premier League's adjudication process is slow as 19th century English Chancery Court.
