Everton would be battling the Premier League alone and in the shadows if they did not have the support of some fairly prominent persons in politics and the media.
Unable to comment on the proceedings by law, it appears that the group with which they are at odds has found alternate ways to pump out propaganda, passing material to select journalists who help feed the narrative to the people.
For this reason, many other sides in England have no compassion for the Toffees, perceiving the struggle as tribalism over something that affects them directly, whether they realize it or not.

After all, if Everton wins, PSR will almost certainly be repealed, allowing clubs such as Newcastle United and Aston Villa to unleash their financial power on the division.
Andy Burnham is one of many people that continue to support the team.
What Andy Burnham has said about the Premier League
As Mayor of Greater Manchester, he may be forgiven for being silent on a topic that falls outside of his jurisdiction.
However, as a boyhood Evertonian, he has done an admirable job of opposing the growing agenda.
His newest tirade, which aired on X just weeks after he participated on multiple Everton podcasts, reads: ‘I won’t forget how little attention there’s been about @Everton’s points deduction. The largest penalty in the history of top-tier English football, and the media accepts it without question? It raises concerns about the conflicts of interest at the center of our game.
How did the media quiet Everton’s protests?
Everton’s attempts to respond to this verdict have been gravely suppressed by the media in a variety of ways.
Sky Sports has been the primary culprit of this wholesale censoring, with TNT Sports’ coverage of the game on Saturday outperforming their competitors.
They not only provided ample pre-match coverage, but they also expertly described why Goodison Park transformed into a sea of yellow in the tenth minute.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports failed to air an interview with Burnham about the ten-point deduction, as well as a similar protest against Manchester United, and refused to show the jet that flew over Liverpool vs Manchester City.
It’s mind-boggling how far they’ll go to maintain their Premier League position, and it’s worrisome that one of England’s top sports broadcasters appears to be under their influence.
If Burnham hadn’t pushed back so hard, Sky Sports and the Premier League might have entirely silenced Everton.
