Burnley Case

[JimEFC_2]

It just opens up so many cans of worms for the league and I hope they end up getting bitten hard.

Can we sue the FA for the value of Sigurdsson and use that to pay Burnley?

If they ever pass a judgment on Man City they can expect dozens of financial claims by about 25 clubs who missed out on titles, cups, europe, got relegated in seasons city would have been demoted... etc

Don’t be at all surprised if Everton (TFG) settle with Burnley before any appeal happens

The referees will be out of business soon then.

Burnley go fown 9 times out of 10. Is it really because of us that they went down that season?

No its because they are six toe'd inbreds that spend more time auditioning for Hobbit movies and voting Tory.

Football is a sideshow up there.

No worries, it was all over the place at the time, and it still gets repeated now, but it was a fundamental failure to understand words.

Ok. With that being said: what was the reasoning or evidence presented that there was an unfair sporting advantage? Curious at this point. One team's financial irregularities are tantamount to heresy and treason, (ours) and another team's can be explained away as book keeping quirks and a little self imposed reflection will suffice as punishment. ( anyone else).

Yeah I heard @davek has slept with loads there, like the Uncle Albert of the North

I think the club just needs to prosecute the appeal to its fullest extent now. It’s ok being practical but apart from the fact that Burnley are just chancers, there is a bigger picture to consider here so the club should stick to their guns.

Burnley know that the appeal could reduce the award so they might take a deal

TFG very likely have a clause against this case with Moshiri

Moshiri only took 25 million out of the deal so he’s now likely getting nothing

Would be interesting if they settle at 25 million

 

[Davideeyore]

So dull being an Everton fan.

 

[arch stanton]

An out of court settlement is not an admittance of guilt. It's a matter of risk.

yup, it will have been settled with a 'without prejudice' clause

 

[JimEFC_2]

I hope they spend their 35m on new players in the Chamionship and then get done for breaking the football league's ffp rules

What

Sticks in the craw on a personal level to pay them anything. A club who perennially gets relegated regardless who’s decided to jump on a season when we were ran appallingly - no wonder Burnley fans are laughing their arses off.

 

[MACCA75]

The precedent here is so dangerous that I’m certain the Premier league will act before any of their favoured teams get hit by lawsuits.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I don’t get how Burnley even have a case. It’s like a plodder who wouldn’t have gotten out of the heats suing Ben Johnson for robbing them at the Olympics!

 

[rotterdam]

Has the echo expressed fears of a witch hunt against everton football club yet..?

 

[BluePaul86]

Are we all forgetting we broke the rules here before wishing liquidation on Burnley?

Like to think if the shoe was on the other foot we'd take the cheats to the cleaners.

Just a shame we're crap at cheating like we are at everything else.

They bought Broja for £20m and Kyle Walker for £5m. They may spend worse than us.
