Everton’s 10-point deduction is set to be brought before Parliament.
The Premier League imposed its heaviest sporting sanction on Sean Dyche’s side last Friday for breaching Profit and Sustainability regulations in 2021/22.
Goodison Park officials are preparing to appeal the ruling, which found that they had gained no competitive advantage from the £19.5 million overspend.
Support for the Blues has come from various quarters including politically with the region’s Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram writing to the Premier League.
The Liverpool City Region figurehead has urged league chief Richard Masters to consider ‘take a more lenient approach and consider alternative forms of punishment that do not unfairly penalize the club’s players and supporters’.
Adding weight to Mayor Rotheram’s request is a Early Day Motion tabled by Labour MP Ian Byrne for House of Commons consideration on Tuesday.
A motion submitted by the West Derby representative calls for the suspension of ‘all proceedings’ against Everton until verified by an independent regulator.
He added: “This House condemns the grossly unjust points deduction imposed on Everton Football Club by a Premier League commission.
“A punishment lacking any legal or equitable foundation or justification for the level of sanction and notes that financial, not sporting penalties, for far more severe breaches have been applied.
“[The motion] declares that sporting sanctions unfairly punish supporters and notices the improper dismissal of extraordinary mitigating circumstances outlined by Everton.”
