Times article, Burnley/Leeds threaten to sue Everton

[Brennan]

“We reserve the right to take legal action”

Err okay.

I reserve the right to ask Mila Kunis on a date. Not sure there’s much chance of success there either.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Hahaha make me laugh… pitch invasion, pitch invasion pitch invasion….
Everton stay up Pitch invasion.. ban everyone deducted them points throw them out the league lol

Now this

Well if ever there was a reason for the bizarre and controversial refereeing we have received in the second half of this season. Perhaps this kind of scenario is the exact reason why

Didn't the spending in January have to be sanctioned by the PL due to our situation?

If that was given the green light then there's nothing in this story

Who is Sue Everton?

poor lass

There’s no precedent for what happens if you breach the Rules anyway. The rules don’t state that if you breach profit and sustainability you get a points deduction. So I don’t really see how it impacts them, but given the sums involved they’re probably just trying to get a bit of money out the league. But there’s no Premier League precedent to say we should have had a points deduction.

 

[nikom court]

get citys lawyers on the case and get the whole corrupt nonsense blown out the water!

 

[Mr Happy]

Think the key word is"threaten" !

 

[Verbal Kint]

We should counter sue all those clubs that sold us the duds that put us in this mess. Burnley aren't absolved from this either cough cough Michael Keane....

We should also put in bids for Philips and Raphinha and sign Tarkowski just to totally send them over the edge.

Dunno but i bet she got a good hammering last night

Dry your eyes. You're supposed to be relegated and in the lower leagues. We're not.

A pair of no mark clubs.

 

[luuk_deventer]

hasn't this already been debunked. There was a similar story a month ago and both Everton and PL confirmed they were working together and the accounts were signed off. It's a nothing story desperately trying to create a narrative heading into the last game

Just because Everton and the PL have an agreement does not mean that one exists between those parties and Leeds and Burnley.

All those clubs have done is write to them to say they reserve the right to sue, if they choose to. Only one of them will eventually sue as only one of them can be relegated.

A points deduction at this stage is very, very unlikely but there could be a big fine similar to what West Ham paid Sheffield United regarding the Tevez situation.

Aye … thought so gobshites

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Awww bless them the poor little things. They're just gutted to be a club that's so unbelievably inept and incompetent that they have somehow managed to finish beneath the worst Everton team in 70 plus years! I mean, Its understandable I suppose. I'd be embarrassed too if I was one of them! I'd be so embarrassed that I'd be all for shutting down the club. Personally I'd want bulldozers outside outside of Elland Road and Turf Moor if I was one of them. Luckily for me though I'm not........

Is this where the sport has got to now then is it? We’re not good enough so we’ll try to sue the last team who’s definitely safe.
