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?

    Whilst not being able to quantify the extent of the sporting advantage, the IC recognised that one “must be inferred”.

    “sporting advantage will have been enjoyed for each of the seasons on which the PSR calculation was based – in this case, because of Covid, four seasons”

    While they accept Everton’s breach was not deliberate but that is likely irrelevant for compensation purposes where the sporting advantage and causation is established.

      A theoretical sporting advantage of £20m over three seasons, that £20m being for expenses related to a stadium which is still under construction.

      That really feels like the reason Leeds et al were relegated.

        Do you know why anything for the stadium counted? I thought it would all start being depreciated once in use so would have no effect or is there a specific reason £20m counted towards the figure?
