Everton ordered to pay Burnley more than £35m over PSR breaches
Everton called the ruling a dangerous precedent and said it will appeal after being ordered to pay Burnley compensation and interest.
- On Wednesday, a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission ordered Everton to pay Burnley more than $45.6 million in compensation for Profitability and Sustainability Regulations breaches during the 2021/22 season.
- Burnley successfully argued that had the six-point penalty for PSR breaches been applied during 2021/22, the East Lancashire club would have survived relegation at the expense of The Toffees, who finished four points ahead.
- While The Clarets sought $69.3 million, the panel awarded $34.9 million plus $12.2 million in interest, prompting Everton to lodge an immediate appeal against what officials deemed a "flawed" judgment.
- Everton officials argued the ruling sets a "dangerous and unworkable precedent," though the club under The Friedkin Group assured supporters the payment will not impact current PSR accounts.
- Comparisons to Chelsea's £10.75m fine under former owner Roman Abramovich highlight the unprecedented nature of this decision, with no further cases outstanding against Everton.
