Burnley Case

[daza_1973]

This will end up benefitting the RS enormously.

Penno nailed on.

 

[Jacko93]

Penno nailed on.

They will no doubt seek the winning purse from each of the seasons they finished second to City, should City be found guilty.

 

[allen]

Have Burnley also sued Notts F and Chelsea who were sanctioned for those seasons

Now they have a precedent, you'd imagine they will.

I mean, why wouldn't they?

Why wouldn't any club?

You’ve spent the last god knows how many years defending him against any criticism on here

He does have a point though, didn't Chelsea's owners point this out after the Roman Abramovich left them with breaches.

They will no doubt seek the winning purse from each of the seasons they finished second to City, should City be found guilty.

So they should to be fair

 

[Evertonthat]

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?

Exactly... We don't set those rules.

Funny that the Premier League changed the accounts date after that season too isnt it... Clearly the had spotted their error.

 

[DavenBlue]

City, if they ever get found guilty of wrongdoing (which I think we're all pretty sure they won't), would be getting sued left, right and centre if this has set a legal precedent!

 

[mahermi1]

Not arsed, if it helps bring the PL brand down I’m all for it, because this will be another can of worms opened.

Everyone suing the likes of Chelsea and City Forest!

Looking forward to the chaos.

No mate it's another famous Everyon first and last to add to our achievements.

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

Can’t we just give them Keane back?

 

[Lob]

Zero chance that ever gets paid. All ifs and maybes. Any decent lawyer will easily appeal that decision.

Maybe if Burnley did a bit better themselves they wouldn't have to resort to embarrassing law suits.

[GoldenToffee]

Now that's what I call a statement.

 

[mahermi1]

They will no doubt seek the winning purse from each of the seasons they finished second to City, should City be found guilty.

In that case so will the other 18 clubs below City and Liverpool for all the money they would have had for each individual place, for the teams that missed out on Europe and for the teams that went down them years.

Sufficiently to the point I'd say and nice to see a firmer statement than we've seen with other stuff previously

 

[micknick]

Watford and Norwich to now have a go as well?! Such a bad precedent this...
