Financial Fair Play investigation

The other lot (i.e.) relegation threatened clubs are talking about suing us for £300 mill.

Everton could face a £300million legal challenge from rival clubs if they avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

The Toffees were charged by the Premier League with an alleged breach of financial fair play rules in March. The club have posted staggering losses of £372m over the past three years, in excess of the £105m limit.

Everton have denied any wrongdoing - they have also not been found guilty of breaking any rules - and vowed to “strongly contest” the charge, which could carry a substantial points deduction if proven. But that punishment isn’t the only possible outcome, with Southampton, Leicester, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Burnley all eager to pursue compensation as well.

The Daily Mail reports that the five angry clubs applied for Everton’s disciplinary hearing to be fast-tracked so that any punishment dished out would be applied to the current season. The commission looking into the allegations rejected this request, prompting the clubs to lodge legal papers making them party to the dispute.

While there are five clubs involved, the £300m claim would be brought by the two clubs who are relegated alongside Southampton, were Everton to avoid the drop. They believe they would be entitled to £100m each, which is an estimate of the loss of Premier League income for one season after the deduction of parachute payments.

Despite winning the Championship to return to the top flight at the first time of asking, Burnley due to their annoyance over Everton’s finances from last season. Burnley’s relegation last season meant they missed out on valuable TV money and the drop meant they were forced to repay a £65m loan early.

They do not attribute their relegation to their poor play, oh no It is all down to Everton surviving by getting more points than them whish was unfair !!!!!!!!!

Absolute load of poo, he has done about another 4 articles about Everton and none of them are good. Can't see how any club could sue us for breaking any FFP/P&L rules, they would be more likely to sue the league for not enforcing their own rules correctly. And if it come to that you'd hope the club have decent lawyers who'd have them tied in knots for years like City did with UEFA.

I know Toney needed to get some sort of ban but you’d think he’d seriously harmed someone. They’ve even banned him from training for four months- what do they think a guy with a gambling problem is going to spend his days doing if he can’t even go to his work? The FA are a joke when it comes to this sort of thing.

Harsh isn't it? Not half as harsh as Tony Kay getting a life long ban from all organized football for two breaches of the regulations regarding gambling. Contrary to the popular myth, he wasn't throwing matches, in fact he was man of the match in the game he was banned for betting on. He just had a bet on a game that he thought Sheffield Wednesday had no chance of winning. Or at least that's how the story goes.

Was he going to be sold? If its this summer his value has taken a hair cut. He's out until the Jan window - so he's going to be sitting on his sweeney for half their season. They are the big losers in all this for me.

Or he could do a "Joey Barton" and join a club from the continent.

The accounts were passed last year, by the Premier league.
We then have to pass any spending through them.
Surely the Premier league are just as much to blame as us if there has been a problem as they are party to it.

We really do not know though what has changed do we? If what you say is right then the PL deserve all the criticism it gets. However if we have told them one thing which has turned out not to be correct, and they have acted accordingly then they are well within their rights to do what they have done. The point I am trying to make here is that no one really knows what’s happened and why things have seemingly/reportedly changed.
 

Everton: 'Negligent' Premier League now under legal threat as rival appears to back Toffees FFP defence, all 19 clubs unhappy​

The Premier League itself is now under threat of legal action over its handling of Everton amid “widespread unhappiness” from all 19 clubs, according to the Daily Mail.

The Mail had already reported (16 May) that Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Leicester, Burnley and Southampton had lodged legal papers with the intention of any three relegated sides to seek £100million each in compensation from the Toffees, and the Clarets possibly mounting a separate claim.
