Everton appeal order to pay Burnley £35m in compensation over PSR breaches in June 2022

Everton have launched an appeal after being ordered to pay Burnley £35m in compensation after they were sued over Premier League profitability and sustainability breaches from the 2021/22 season when the Clarets were relegated.

The Toffees were deducted 10 points in late 2023 for financial misdemeanours, a punishment reduced to six points on appeal a few months later, under the previous regime of Farhad Moshiri.

Everton finished four points above 18th-placed Burnley in 2021/22 but the Lancashire club successfully argued that had the six-point penalty for PSR breaches been applied that season then they would have survived at the Toffees' expense.
