Everton have been ordered by a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to pay nearly £40 million in compensation and interest to Burnley following a legal claim over Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) breaches.
Host Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton FC correspondent Joe Thomas to break down a decision that the club has branded "fundamentally flawed in both law and fact."
Burnley’s case relies on the legal principle of 'loss of chance,' arguing that if Everton’s point deduction had been applied during the 2021/22 season, the Blues would have been relegated and the Clarets would have stayed up.
The club has already launched an official appeal, warning that this sets a "dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football."
Ian and Joe discuss what this massive ruling means for the club's finances, how The Friedkin Group (TFG) is responding, and why the club insists this won’t trigger any future PSR sanctions.
