🚨 Burnley have won a damages case against Everton after suing them for breaching PSR rules.
Everton has been ordered to pay Burnley a record compensation fee, as @TheLawyerCSmith called.
Burnley due around £35m with interest on top having originally sought over £50m.
Everton were deducted 10 points for a PSR breach in 2023, a punishment that was later reduced to six points.
During the 2021/22 PSR cycle in question, Burnley were relegated to the Championship, and successfully argued they would have stayed up had the deduction been applied to the season in question.
Everton will appeal.
🗣️ “Everton Football Club is surprised and angered by the decision of a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to order a compensation payment to Burnley Football Club in relation to Everton’s PSR breach in June 2022.
“Everton has appealed the decision and is clear in its belief the ruling is fundamentally flawed in both law and fact.
“The Club does not recognise the findings of the panel in determining Burnley’s relegation from the Premier League in May 2022 was caused by a sporting advantage gained by Everton due to a breach of Profit & Sustainability Rules, for which a substantive sporting sanction has already been received.
“This ruling sets a dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football, given it is constructed on a principle that a club can be in breach of financial rules at any point in a financial year.
“Everton believes the panel’s ruling misrepresents the clear evidence presented by its legal representatives and that an appeal will be successful.
“The Club is confident of its ongoing PSR compliance and has also obtained confirmation from the Premier League of its clear position that this ruling should not be the cause of any future PSR sanction. Evertonians can be assured that ownership are focused, with strengthened resolve, on delivering their vision of returning Everton to the top echelon of English football.”
Spurs came to Anfield in March on a run of six straight defeats and in crisis. Chelsea came here today the exact same: six defeats and in freefall.
Doctor Arne Slot's Liverpool were the perfect remedy for both, with deserved points. This season keeps plunging to new depths.
@TaintlessRed So true....mid teams are achieving higher ceilings. Even lower teams are giving tough times to top teams. Even ManU and Everton are giving top teams a decent fight....how can this be a bad year.
When chatting with your service representative, they are asking to pay me a refund. I don't need refund, I need my correct order. Request you to resolve this at the earliest. @SwiggyCares@Swiggy
@Swiggy@SwiggyCares What sort of service are you providing?? I placed a simple order of Mixed Chaat and Jalebi. Now what I have received is a Jalebi and Mixed Chaat masala and stuffs without any curd. So how should I have my food now?
@HenryJackson87 Rivals know very well.... it's just like Suarez, while playing for us people said thta he wasn't a great even though we repeatedly said that. When he started doing the same for Barca...then people started acknowledging him. When Mo leaves or retire, then they will acknowledge
I don't get this urge of two wheelers to never stop or slow down in front of other vehicles as such. It's so frustrating and dangerous. If somehow that other vehicle looses control, you are going to become a photograph. Whatever happens to that other driver is immaterial to you.
