What I don’t understand is why Everton?

The points deduction for breaking the rules… fine, arguably excessive, but fine.

But then subsequent legal issues for what basically amounts to loss in earnings? Surely if Burnley and Leicester do have a case (which you can understand) it’s the PL that’s to blame?

Everton have now been punished. The PL’s decision to delay any punishment in the 2021/22 season because of an investigation into new breaches may have meant that Burnley went down wrongly. Their slow investigation last season may have meant that Leicester went down wrongly. Both clubs can feel aggrieved…but surely if there’s financial compensation to be had, its the PL that should foot the bill for their calamitous handling of the situation that affected one of those clubs.

They accepted a £30m bid for him from Burnley in the summer, but he opted to stay and fight for his place.

A 1 year extension screams to me that Chelsea are planning to offload him next summer now. Very good and promising player imo, but Poch doesn’t seem to see him as a LB and unfortunately for him, Chelsea just have better wingers.

Nice to see Burnley surviving, but I’m not sure I share their optimism just yet.

Our next two games (Brentford and Bournemouth) will be very telling
