Everton HubEverton has been ordered to pay £35m in compensation to Burnley after breaching the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules. The ruling, made by an independent panel, has sparked an appeal from Everton, who claim the decision is "fundamentally flawed".
What happened?
Everton were found guilty of breaching the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Regulations for a four-year cycle, ending in 2022. They were deemed to have made losses of £19.5m over the threshold.
Why it matters for Everton
The compensation payment of £35m is a significant blow to Everton, who are currently 13th in the Premier League with 49 points from 38 games. Their recent form has been poor, with a record of 0W-1D-4L in their last 5 games.
What comes next?
Everton have launched an appeal against the ruling, which they believe sets a "dangerous precedent" for English football. The club's statement expressed confidence that their appeal will succeed, citing the ruling as "fundamentally flawed" in both law and fact.
