"Whether Everton deserved to be deducted points or not is debatable, but I've never liked the FFP. Surely there is a better way to protect the future of clubs? The FFP protects the elite clubs and makes it impossible for those who are catching up to compete," Owen wrote on his X social media page.
Earlier, Everton received a 10-point penalty for violating the FFP.
