Ive seen reports Leicester, Burnley and Leeds are reportedly planning on sueing Everton.

Now seeing West ham Got sued by Sheffield UTD for Tevez, is there a strong possibility Everton could be actually sued and those teams win a court case?

        I thought infrastructure costs such as stadium renovation/building wasn’t part of the FFP calculation?

        Counter point, not accounting for that 20mil you spent on the stadium surely meant you freed up 20 mil to spend on players beyond the constraints of ffp? When Spurs were building their stadium they had multiple windows where they spent very low if not at all. The team degraded during this time.

      Bringing in players in a way outside the FFP rules, resulting in an unfair advantage over teams that were relegated. The idea would be to sue for the presumed lost revenue of not being in the PL.

        Yeah, so that’s not it. We have the third lowest net spend the past 5 years (only luton and brighton are lower). It’s the stadium costs that put us out of compliance.

        Didn’t you get fined for breaching FFP when you got promoted? Over the threshold by £13m so not too dissimilar. Maybe the other clubs in the championship should have sued you.
