Everton appeal against PL order to pay £40m to Burnley over PSR breach

Everton appeal order to pay Burnley £40m in compensation over PSR breaches in June 2022 Everton are “surprised and angered” to have been ordered to pay Burnley compensation by a Premier League independent disciplinary commission in relation to Everton’s PSR breach in June 2022, the Premier League club have announced Wednesday 10 June 2026 15:46, UK Everton have launched an appeal after being ordered to pay Burnley more than £40m in compensation after they were sued over Premier League profitability and sustainability breaches from the 2021/22 season when the Clarets were relegated. The Toffees were deducted 10 points in late 2023 for financial misdemeanours, a punishment reduced to six points on appeal a few months later, under the previous regime of Farhad Moshiri. Everton finished four points above 18th-placed Burnley in 2021/22 but the Lancashire club successfully argued that had the six-point penalty for PSR breaches been applied that season then they would have survived at the Toffees' expense. - Transfer Centre LIVE! | Everton news & transfers🔵 - Everton fixtures & scores | FREE Everton highlights▶️ - Got Sky?

An Everton statement said: "Everton Football Club is surprised and angered by the decision of a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to order a compensation payment to Burnley Football Club in relation to Everton's PSR breach in June 2022," said a club statement. "Everton has appealed the decision and is clear in its belief the ruling is fundamentally flawed in both law and fact. "The club does not recognise the findings of the panel in determining Burnley's relegation from the Premier League in May 2022 was caused by a sporting advantage gained by Everton due to a breach of Profit & Sustainability Rules, for which a substantive sporting sanction has already been received. "This ruling sets a dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football, given it is constructed on a principle that a club can be in breach of financial rules at any point in a financial year. "Everton believes the panel's ruling misrepresents the clear evidence presented by its legal representatives and that an appeal will be successful." More to follow.
