Everton ordered to pay Burnley nearly £40m in Premier League relegation legal case
Burnley relegated in 2022 after Everton breached PSR
Everton ‘angered’ by verdict and have appealed
Burnley have won a landmark legal case against Everton for breaching Premier League financial rules, with the Merseysiders ordered to pay nearly £40m in compensation. It is the largest financial penalty ever imposed on a Premier League club.
The verdict by a Premier League independent disciplinary commission – comprising of the same three-man panel that deducted Everton 10 points over the same breach in November 2023 – has widespread ramifications for the competition and increases the likelihood of more clubs taking legal action over profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) offences.
