Everton exploring legal options over lack of sporting sanctions against Chelsea

TL;DR

Everton is considering a legal challenge against the Premier League over the handling of Chelsea's undisclosed payments sanction.
Chelsea was fined £10.75m and given a suspended transfer ban for reporting £47.5m of hidden payments.
Everton, who were docked eight points for profit and sustainability breaches, feel aggrieved by the lack of sporting sanctions for Chelsea.
Nottingham Forest, also docked points for a PSR breach, is unhappy and has discussed joining forces with Everton to challenge the Premier League.
Both clubs plan to write to the Premier League requesting a formal explanation for Chelsea's punishment and the process behind it.
Concerns exist that the Chelsea decision could set a precedent for Manchester City's 115 Financial Fair Play charges.
The Premier League reportedly negotiated with Chelsea due to their cooperation, an explanation that does not mention "sporting advantage" despite Chelsea winning trophies during the payment period.
