Burnley have won their legal dispute with Everton after seeking damages for the Merseyside club’s breach of the Premier League’s financial rules.Everton intend to appeal the decision.Burnley had been seeking damages after Everton were found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) during the 2021-22 season — a campaign in which Burnley were relegated from the top flight.Opening statements were heard on September 17 at the International Dispute Resolution Centre near St. Paul’s Cathedral in London over the conflict which had been initiated more than four years ago.The Athletic reported Burnley would argue they would have stayed up if Everton were sanctioned with a points deduction for their 2021-22 PSR breach that season. Everton finished four points above Burnley to retain their Premier League status, and ultimately received a six-point deduction for the breach in 2023-24.As a result of their relegation, Burnley missed out on significant income that rewards playing in the top-flight. This includes the Premier League TV deal and commercial opportunities. This was evident through the club’s accounts, which showed a decrease in television revenue from £104.9m to £47.8m from the 2021-22 to 2022-23 campaigns.
