Times article, Burnley/Leeds threaten to sue Everton

Burnley and Leeds United have been invited by the Premier League to send representatives to meet with chief executive Richard Masters this week, following the two relegation contenders’ threat to take legal action over allegations that Everton breached financial regulations.

The Premier League has written to the two clubs, who set out their initial observations on a potential legal case against the league and Everton, in a letter to Masters last week. The two clubs are now expected to come into the Premier League’s west London headquarters at some point this week to discuss their grievances and their demand that an independent commission examine the application of profit and sustainability rules (PSR) as they relate to Everton’s losses.

Either Burnley or Leeds will be relegated today with Everton’s dramatic victory over Crystal Palace on Thursday having secured their top-flight status.

Telegraph Sport has reported that both Burnley and Leeds, who have vowed to back one another whatever the outcome today, have requested that no data relating to Everton’s transfer dealings, and all income, including commercial, be destroyed.

Neither club would comment on whether they would be attending the meeting with Masters. Everton have passed PSR compliance despite losses of £371.8 million over the last three years. Under Premier League rules, clubs are permitted to write-off losses of up to £105m every three years.

Everton’s losses for the most recent financial year ending June 31 last year were £120.9m, and there was no announcement in March, when those were published, that the Premier League believed that materially changed the position in relation to PSR.

Indeed, the Premier League's position has not changed: it has found no evidence that Everton have not complied with PSR.

Although neither party has ever disclosed the details of that analysis, it is understood that taking into account the deductions from the loss for spending permitted under PSR rules, the club meets its obligations. The Premier League received the joint-signatory letter from Leeds and Burnley last week and has made no public comment on the issue. It has indicated since Everton’s most recent financial results that it has no reason to believe that original calculations passing the accounts under PSR rules were erroneous.

The case against Everton is being driven by the ownership of both relegation-threatened clubs, the Leeds chairman and controlling shareholder Andrea Radrizzani and Burnley chairman Alan Pace.

Two yank con men looking for a few million quid to go away quietly.

The Premier League should tell them if they dont STFU they'll sue the pair of the no marks for all the shekels they have.
 
Scary thing is, if it was one of the media darlings complaining or in danger of going down, we would be goners!

Not sure which one your talking about, but there's a fair few still about, mostly click bait.

What a massive waste of time and money spent by Leeds and Burnley. Should have spent it upgrading the gents toilets too be honest.

There was one that repeatedly referred to us “seemingly” surviving, insinuating that it was a realistic possibility we’d get a points deduction and go down. They’re weird people.
 

Liverpool fans break the law by ignoring covid lockdown regulations and setting fire to listed buildings in Liverpool. Absolutely nothing from journalists. Everton win essentially what is a 100million pound game, and their fans celebrate with the players on the pitch. Journalists: “WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!???”

Correct the kid was an idiot don't know why he could not celebrate like everyone else, but is it just me, it seems as every day goes by Vierra is becoming the new Son. Vierra for me as a professional is the bigger culprit, now whether or not that idiot kid deserved it, it should not take away from the fact, he was grabbed and kicked to the floor by a supposed profesional. He's become a hero to some just like Son was for his assault on Gomes.

Viera assaulted the guy. Pro footballer went out of way to kick someone. If the guy had been hurt, Viera would be in serious trouble.

I'm not saying the fan wasn't a jackals, but Viera is an idiot.
