Burnley Case

[AndyP94]

Yes but not for the contract extensions

Was going to say, we should give him back to them, to sweeten things up, but they'd probably sue us again just for that.

 

[Simon Buttle]

The PL is not handing out this specific punishment, but no doubt this is a direct result of the PL's feckless rules and processes.

Rules which we agreed with and continue to do so, don't think we have ever voted against any potential rule changes have we, we are always just too nice about everything.

Whatever. Just pay and move on. Burnley should be only team that can come after us as they only team that would have stayed up if the points were deducted same season. Would hope that new owners accounted for this during the purchase from Moshiri.

I hope the very same compensation is applied when other teams get sued left right and centre for the same.

Forest breached in 22/23? Leicester would have stayed up on GD if 4 points were deducted from Forest that season. And we would have finished 1 place higher.

And then you have City... Chelsea..

Yeah, I mean, you can't just pay and move on. It's 40 million.

I will say that there's a good possibility this doesn't really affect player trading. It's likely there's an indemnity clause in the purchase agreement, and depending on when this is expensed, it shouldn't affect any PSR/SCR calculation.

I'm pretty sure I read that when purchasing the club the new owners either had an agreement that moshiri would be liable for any costs for Everton losing this case, or money was withheld from the sale for when the case was settled. If true then it stops the club being worse off for it.

Also psr rules included any legal fees. Scr if in correct doesn't include it so won't stop is from spending. If so at least finally a new rule benefits the club.

This could be so damaging to the prem though, opens up every team to seek legal action against city, loads of teams to seek legal action against Chelsea, some teams against forest.

Premier league is ran by bigger morons than Everton is and that takes some bloody doing.

Bolton to sue us for 1997/98 next??

This is correct. It was part of the terms of TFG purchasing the club. Moshiri pays for this, or rather, he is now due less money from TFG

 

[Furey1878]

We have suffered enough Burnley compensation in the form of Tarkowski, McNeil and Dyche ffs

 

[Furey1878]

Opening a big can of worms here

Well done Masters you utter clown

There will be only one team getting sued and then the rules will change.

 

[chrismpw]

Have Burnley also sued Notts F and Chelsea who were sanctioned for those seasons, plus will they now return their parachute payments as they were allegedly "wrongfully relegated"?

 

[daza_1973]

Can we sue Marsters mum for procreating with his dad ?

 

[mahermi1]

New [Poor language removed] transfer window excuse just dropped

I will guarantee you the statement from our club, which will got to the Echo will have this in it. Everton plan to appeal vigorously against what we feel is a very unfair, substantial fine given against us for what was a situation that happened with the previous owners and it will in no way influence our transfer plans in anyway...


Jordan Pickford, Iliman N'diaye and Jarrod Branthwaite all expressed an interest to play their football anywhere, i mean elswhere err for teams playing in Europe anyway. And has nothing to do with this massive fine handed to us. Anus Kinnear Ex CEO.

It's the fault of the Premier League for failing to punish the PSR breach same season. If there is a case to answer, it's the Premier league's not Everton's.

It would be impossible to apply the punishments in the same season as the breach, the accounts are only finalised at the end of the year. Half a season would need to be struck off. If that isn't even the rule now, how can it be considered like that in a court?

 

[Jacko93]

This will end up benefitting the RS enormously.
