A day later, when Everton host Manchester United, 38,000 &#8216;Corrupt&#8217; cards have been printed to be handed to fans to hold up in unison.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, according to the Times, Everton fans will chant &#8216;Premier League corrupt as f***&#8217; in the tenth minute of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Ofcom states that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm, there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue and sources said it takes its responsibility to protect its viewers and will look to mitigate offensive language being heard on air.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Like everyone, I was shocked,&#8217; Everton manager Sean Dyche said of the points deduction on Friday. &#8216;The enormity of it.
