Simon Jordan MOCKS Everton's problems on and off the pitch after 6-0 thrashing

Simon Jordan has mocked Everton's troubles on and off the pitch after they were thrashed 6-0 by Chelsea on Monday night.

The Toffees produced an abject performance at Stamford Bridge as they remain 16th in the Premier League table, just two points above the relegation zone.

It came a few hours after Everton officially lodged an appeal against their second points deduction of the campaign.

The Goodison Park club were docked two points earlier this month for breaching the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules [PSR].

That followed their 10-point deduction, later reduced to six on appeal, for another PSR breach in November.

Former Crystal Palace chairman and pundit Jordan took aim at Everton - and their famous fan Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester - on X.

'#BreakingNews Apparently Everton and Andy Burnham have appealed last night's result and expect to get at least 2 goals back,' he wrote.

Jordan took a pop at Burnham back in February after the politician complained about the how limited media coverage of Everton's first point deduction had been.

'The biggest penalty in the history of top-flight English football - and the media accept it without question,' Burnham tweeted on February 4.

'It says something troubling about the conflicts of interest at the heart of our game.'

Responding on TalkSPORT, Jordan said at first: 'Shut up, that's rubbish'.

He then continued: 'He has got himself a bit confused here but it's a typical politician's hit-and-run opportunity, let's pile in, give some virtue signalling, but when it comes to substantiating what I've got to say, don't go near anybody that might be able to pull me up.

'His ideals behind what's happened to Everton, there might be some substance in the argument
