Pace is suing the Toffees.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

?The Clarets are seeking compensation from the Toffees in relation to the 2021/22 Premier League campaign, a season where Leeds narrowly avoided the drop after finishing one place above the relegation zone in a season when Burnley, Watford and Norwich City all fell into the Championship.

The Clarets could claim for not only the direct financial impact of a loss of a portion of broadcast rights, but also the diminution in value of commercial deals as a result of their relegation.

Burnley?s case will likely hinge on the legal concept of ?loss of chance?, defined as being where a claim for damages and compensation may arise ?when a negligent omission by a professional lead to the loss of a valuable business opportunity or the loss of a valuable claim?. In this case, who is the negligent party will have to be determined, with Premier League law at the time not requiring matters to be determined in the one season, something which has since been amended. Everton would argue that they operated within the Premier League?s legal framework that existed at the time.?

I am reading elsewhere that the US owned Everton might settle out of court before trial. The USA modus operandi has truly arrived in the English game.

We really must be strapped for cash.

It all looks a little desperate, but its the way the Americans do things. If the boot was on the other foot Everton would be doing the same.

Everton survived by cheating but they were docked points in the seasons after.If they had been docked the points when they cheated Burnley would have survived.They are the facts.
Problem is we might not have survived even if Everton had not cheated.The cheating probably gave them an advantage so quite right to sue them in my opinion.

Fair's fair. Everton cheated the system and gained an unfair advantage over us. Sue the cheating b@stards!

Not arguing with it, sue them, see what we can get, it just indicates to me that we're pursuing this because we're strapped and ever penny counts.

Say what you want about Alan Pace mon ami but we are "drama free", he seems to have his hand firmly on the tiller.

Every pound is a prisoner with Pace & Co.

The league doesn?t lie -we didn?t win enough points to stay in it imo.

I think that was the general consensus at the time army, the Everton thing was just us and Leeds clutching at straws before relegation was decided.
