Some points on the Burnley case.
● PSR will not be affected
● It won't affect transfers
● £26m plus £9m interest
● Same panel that gave 10 point deduction
● Appeal has started and will be different panel
So Chelsea secretly pay out £47.5m in brown envelopes to players & agents for 7 years helping them sign players like Hazard and gain sporting advantage while winning multiple trophies..
PUNISHMENT: £10m fine
——
Everton meanwhile, slightly breach PSR, overspending by £19.5m over the allowable £105m limit in one period, largely linked to stadium investment & COVID impacts.
PUNISHMENT: 10 point deduction followed by a another 2 point deduction both which directly affected their league position and prize money whilst risking being relegated from the Premier League.. AND now have to pay Burnley £40m for alleged lost earnings due to Everton’s “unfair advantage!?”
——
One club hid tens of millions in shady payments for years and got a slap on the wrist. The other got hammered with points lost, risked being relegated, costing millions in prize money for league placement and now have to pay compensation to clubs as well!?
The disparity in severity, sporting impact and deterrence makes the rules look ridiculous and unfair.
“Big” clubs get no consequences for their actions, while Everton are the league’s whipping boy suffering multiple existential hits.
Why are Everton treated so differently to every other club in the league!?
Everton punished again while Man City who have had 115 charges hanging over them for years now are trying to buy Elliot Anderson for 130 million
Sound 👍🏻
Everton enraged about order to pay around £35m compensation to Burnley and will fight this finding all the way. Curious, too, how Everton's legal matters keep being determined and resolved before other "higher-profile" cases though Everton say their relations with PL are solid.
🚨David Phillips KC, Alan Greenwood and Nick Igoe who made the panel that gave Everton their original 10 point deduction heard were the same panel that heard this case with Burnley
Burnley are set to win their legal case against Everton against PSR breaches. Everton are set to pay Burnley circa £40m in damages, the toffees are expected to appeal 🔵
