Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says Everton should be treated fairly in their Financial Fair Play investigation.
Everton face a points deduction if found guilty.
Parish said, "Can I just mention Bill [Kenwright] because I was so close to that man and he's done an excellent job at that club - one of only six clubs that have never been relegated and what a job he did," he began.
"On one level it's sad to see them where they are with the issues they have got, but on another level he's built an exciting future for the club. The new stadium is being built and Everton will always be a big club and they will be an even bigger club."
"As far as sanctions go, I don't think the rules that we had, with this three-year retrospective look back were effective rules because it gave you rules that would allow you to have a squad in breach of the rules if you like, until four years down the road or even thinking that you could fix it somehow. I think everybody is looking for a better set of rules.
