Well this is amusing considering what we went through

Behind a paywall though. 

So in summary it says Burnley & Leeds have written to the Premier League to say they deserve the right to take legal action against Everton and/or the Premier League as they say they have been disadvantaged by Everton's overspending. Sounds familiar.

Everton lost £371.8m over the last 3 years (FFP limit £105m) but have claimed for £170m of "covid losses" to be excluded, along with the usual exclusions.

For comparison with similarly sized clubs,  Aston Villa claimed for £56m and Newcastle £40m for "covid losses".

I guess sooner or later a case like this is inevitable. There are many millions at stake and clubs are basically just flouting the rules.

Not sure how the authorities can prevent member clubs from suing each other - they can put it in their rules, but then those rules could be subject to legal challenge too.

In our case my main objection was that there was no talk about suing us until after we'd gone into administration, and even then it wasn't formal legal action but simply a claim that they were creditors who might take formal legal action if they didn't get satisfaction from the EFL. It was basically a way of holding a stricken club to ransom by preventing a quick sale. And the EFL went along with it.

It would be very hard to prove damages in a court case, of course, but it feels like we will end up with one at some point and if nothing else that might give clarity, and/or force proper restructuring, oversight and enforcement of the rules.
