Burnley Case

[jazzy]

i don't believe they can as it would be an abuse of process

according to the lawyer

"Clubs including Leicester City, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Southampton had also planned to bring proceedings against Everton, but later dropped their claims."

It will only be an abuse of process if they actually commenced legal proceedings ( ie issues a writ ) and then discontinued the proceedings.

If they decided not to issue then , subject to limitation, they would be free to commence an action.

There is simply no joy whatsoever being an Everton supporter.

They still went down after we had eight points deducted from us that season and now we have to pay 40m in damages to them because they were crap?

None of this makes sense.

 

[Neiler]

"The decision is believed to be the first of its kind and will likely have a significant impact on future financial fair play disputes, with clubs that breach rules facing not only a sporting sanction but also the possibility of compensation claims from other clubs."

Another first.

Cant we sue them for signing Keane?

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

What an utter farce presided over by a Kangaroo Court. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that so called independent panel were involved again.

We have been deducted points twice, had one appeal heard and now been sued by another team but one other club are still waiting for their judgement after having a hearing last year. What are Masters and the Premier League doing typing it up with Windows 95?

If only we had business links to a massive law firm…

There’s actually fans amongst us who get selfies with that grinning simpleton Moshiri when he turns up at Regent Road to attend games. Should be banned from the stadium. His and his Chairman’s colossal ineptitude continue to haunt us.

Agreed. How can you forget how inept of an owner he was when we keep being reminded?

 

[ToffeeTim]

The premier league tried to make an absolutely enormous example out of us at the time. No doubt about it.

 

[efcste97]

Beat us 3-2 with 5/6 weeks of the season left whilst being 5 points ahead of us & still went down. Is this Lawyer a RS? What was our argument?

Burnham for PM

Cant we sue them for signing Keane?

Yes but not for the contract extensions
