Burnley has been awarded £35m in compensation from Everton over a Premier League financial rules breach. The case dates back to the 2021-22 season, when Everton were found to have broken profit and sustainability regulations (PSR). Burnley argued that the breach impacted their chances of staying in the Premier League and sought compensation for the losses associated with being relegated. The Clarets have been awarded £26m in damages and a further £9m in interest. Everton have appealed, with sources saying they will 'robustly and thoroughly' contest the ruling. The club said in a statement they were 'clear in the belief the ruling is fundamentally flawed in both law and fact'. Both clubs presented evidence from experts to simulate the effect of the £19.5m overspend on Everton's points total. The commission said that it found Burnley's evidence, which projected a gain of between 3.85 and 7.13 points for the Toffees, 'more compelling'. It added that 'on the balance of probabilities, Everton's breach of the PSR caused Burnley to be relegated'. Any compensation payment would not impact Everton's PSR accounts for the current period.
