Everton

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Seems we had to wait for the guilty verdict before we could proceed. Now we have them by the short and curlies don't we ? What could possibly go wrong ?

One thing I am curious about, if we sue them and win, who gets the money ? Burnley FC or ALK ? And to what use will the money be put ? It's not straightforward, there are several different holding companies involved in the ownership of the club, into which account would the money be paid ?

Everton are effectively skint and no prospective owner could possibly take this potential lawsuit on could they?

I don't think there is any lawsuit involved, having been found guilty, a Premier League Commision decides who is entitled to compo and how much. There will be lawyers representing the PL, Everton and the applicant clubs, Leeds, Forest, Southampton and Burnley. Nick De Marco KC, Sport Law Silk of the Year 2022, is batting for the applicant clubs.

I read that only ONE relegation could be compensated for, I think this one will run longer than the West Ends' Cats.

Not disputing what you read mon ami, my info was off the Premier League website regarding a Hearing of the PL Commission set up to investigate the case. It was dated May 9th, six months ago, but I couldn't find anything of a later date superceding it and David Phillips KC definitely stated that compo could be awarded to one or more clubs.

Does seem rather arbitrary that mon ami, where did you read that ? I'm no expert, no idea how these things work really, but it's the PL Commision that decides the compo as I understand it, it does not go to the courts.

Everton will appeal. Then the will appeal the results of the failed appeal. And so it will go.

I have not been saving the media clips but a well informed poster on a different forum claims if Everton cannot pay the fine or imposed compensation the EPL might find themselves liable.

That will stop them from going after Chelsea or City of that I am sure.

No skin off our noses mon ami, that we have the right to claim compo has already been established, we have one of the top sports lawyers in the country acting on our behalf, we either get compo or we don't, so it's heads we win, tails we don't lose. As Everton have already been found guilty I would imagine they will be liable for any costs so let them appeal, we can wait.

BT, the Manchester City episode could run longer than The Mousetrap which would see us well out of the picture. Just saying
