Burnley Case

[ToffeeTim]

Farcical

A complete nonsense

 

[Rita_Poon]

mutu was on the lemo, should have been slotting vs an opponent of ours, how far back does this revenge stuff reach exactly?

 

[Eggs]

…..pay them back at £1 per week.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

There goes the transfer kitty

The whole thing is a joke but under SCR it shouldn’t have any effect on the transfer side as it isn’t a squad cost related payment. We can still spend exactly what we could before (if we choose to).

 

[Rita_Poon]

mascherano and tevez, 3rd party ownership illegal in the league, surely there's a means to twist that to our financial advantage?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yet another example of different rules being applied to everton

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

The whole sport is an utter embarrassment. Its so blatantly crooked that its painful.

 

[BluePaul86]

Wow this is really bad news. Implications are we'll have to sell players just to pay this compo out. Absolutely no chance of any cash signings now.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Give them Dibling, he was £40mil

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

In all seriousness, does this mean that Burnley (thus far) have managed to "attract" better lawyers than us? Sort it, Everton FFS

 

[Chegsy]

Is this not all about us getting the points deduction the season after breaches meaning they were relegated?

If so can someone explain why this is landing at our feet instead of the premier leagues?

 

[Dymak]

40 million pound is a lot of money, so people better believe it when it says the judgement will be appealed!

I’ve made the argument before that I am glad the PL didn’t deduct the points in 22, as we’d likely have gone down, but we could use the same argument that Burnley have done about this ridiculous ‘loss of opportunity’, which basically argues multiple alternate realities are possible.

We also need to get serious with the PL and stop cosying up to them when all they do is screw us. They were in control of the administration of the penalty, and we are now being punished for their delay in administering the penalty, and subjecting us to two penalties in 2023.

If that judgement is upheld, we ought to be suing the hell out of the Premier League.

New [Poor language removed] transfer window excuse just dropped

 

[Bedfordblue]

Wasn’t there a sum set aside in the sale that was retained from payment to Mosh incase of this, or am i imagining that?

Edit - not sure it was £40m mind….

 

[Blobloblob985]

Will this open the door for other teams to go after us as well.
