West Ham gained a sporting advantage though. That's why they settled.

Being honest the majority of Leicester fans I've seen alone are proper fans, going down the line of " we went down because we were crap, not because everton lost 20m"
Burnley fans don't seem that arsed because they are a yo yo club anyway.
Leeds fans are just propa weird scruffs, they're fuming on behalf of themselves and everyone else.
Hope they stay in the lower leagues where they belong

That's why it will never happened...just not realistic proposition.

Exactly. That was easy to quantify because West Ham fielded an ineligible player and that player directly influenced games which resulted in Sheff Utd being relegated.
There is no way of saying the same about our PSR breach. It's not like we went out in the January window and bought someone who scored goals to keep us in the league and that spend is what took us over the £105m limit.
It is impossible to categorically define that we received a sporting advantage let alone quantifying what that would have been.

Seeing a lot of Wolves fans taking the opportunity to stick the boot in. In my recollection they're far from squeaky clean both financially and by devious signing of players.

Plus city and West Ham had an advantage by gaining grounds for free.

Lecister also been found guilty ffp when they got promoted and didn't get sued.
How any club can prove which way our overspending would have impacted all of our results including these three teams is pure fantasy.
Whose to say that if we'd sold even one player to balance that out properly, that all of the results for every game after could have been different and in our favour.
The assumption is we would be worse without the over spending, I think we have a better case to say the opposite.

Still it means that clubs can take legal action against other, so just saying premier league clubs can't sue each other and it's the premier league only isn't the get out of jail card we thought it was.
I do think they won't have a case, as it's pretty much impossible to quantify any losses those clubs had as a direct result of our breach

That was many many years ago, the rules and laws have literally changed since then, so theres no relation to what they could do in the West Ham case to what they are allowed to do now.
I mean they'll probably change the rules up a few weeks before this is heard anyway.
Not sure if rules relating to that have been changed, the story has come from the independent panel saying the small clubs may have a claim if Everton are found guilty.
Not sure if there is any particular rule that directly prevents clubs from persuing compensation from another

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
Poor old Derby County finished 3rd that year and lost in the playoffs.. they are in league 1 now could have gotten automatic promotion if Leciester didn't break the rules..

Yes, thats the PL rules, that clubs "may" have a claim if a club is found guilty. So they present to the commission after a guilty verdict to see if they will award anything, the commission decides if they will award anything, and then regardless of the outcome the clubs can not sue or issue a claim in court. Thats all in the PL rules book and without looking up its history I suspect that all got added after and very specifically because of the West Ham situation.
