Times article, Burnley/Leeds threaten to sue Everton

[catcherintherye]

The premier league have okayed the accounts, and accepted they are under the limit.

Leeds/Burnley may be able to sue the PL, but that would be the litigation, not Everton.

Also worth saying, for all other breaches 1 of 2 things have happened:
1) No points deduction
2) Overturned in an impartial court.

Feels like spilt milk, and I cant see either taking it forward. Maybe they would want some sweetener settlement from the PL if they go down.

Has a team ever been deducted points from their total after a season has finished? I can’t remember any cases. If the worst happened (which I really don’t see happening), surely it would have to apply to next season anyway?

It’s a great statement.
Basically says, ‘no we didn’t mate - fkin try it lad’

I'm crap at maths but is there any way they can both be relegated?

Every club in the league will have done what we did, no, im not saying every club in the league has losses like ours, but they will have all offset some loses due to covid.

The suggestion is that it’s not just those two that are gunning for you and whilst the only other club mentioned was Arsenal in April it was reported that far from the matter having been resolved legal action was being talked about even then.

In case people dont know what Neil is talking about.

So they aren't suing just threatening to sue? Ok great

If this goes to VAR, we're screwed!

Wrong, VAR would never give us a penalty

 

[Death]

Will they have the reception we gave our team i wonder?

Major clubs having being buying champions leagues for decades we finish 17th SSSUUEEEEEEE

it's so everton to spend 500 million to get an edge on the relegation battle.....

I guess Burnley are worried about repaying that loan they have. If they go bust, their fans will have to find something else to do like go back to working in the mills or fingering their sister.

If Burnley go down, we will just end up paying off their loan repayment which is what they are going to be screwed by. Same way west ham paid Sheffield 20m if they do manage to prove we have done wrong.

 

[Curtis]

it just feels like a petty whiney grievances to me. I mean it's burnely relegation is inevitable no matter what other clubs do

 

[Bluerover]

I'm crap at maths but is there any way they can both be relegated?

Afraid not, but I now really despise both of those clubs. Accepted the Leeds manager was dignified, but threatening us with this is despicable

 

[Curtis]

In case people dont know what Neil is talking about.

I wonder if the team that doesn't get relegated will still consider being litigious? just seems vindictive

Starting to believe all the conspiracy theories about them doing everything to make us go down might have some truth in them
