Friedkin Group faces £40m Burnley damages bill over Everton PSR breach

Source: Forza Roma

The Friedkin Group, owners of AS Roma, Everton and Cannes, has been ordered to pay Burnley £40 million following an independent Premier League disciplinary commission ruling. The damages relate to Everton's violation of Profit and Sustainability Rules in June 2022, the year Burnley was relegated from the top flight. Burnley's legal action claimed that Everton's financial irregularities distorted competition and caused direct economic harm, arguing that had the penalty been applied to the 2021–22 season, Everton would have gone down instead.

Everton received a 10-point deduction in November 2023 for the PSR breach, later reduced to six points on appeal and applied to the 2023–24 season. Burnley based part of its claim on the hypothesis that an earlier penalty would have changed the 2021–22 relegation outcome. The case sets a significant precedent in English football, as it marks the first time a club has won financial compensation rather than only sporting sanctions for a rival's rule violation.

Everton has immediately appealed the decision. The club stated: "The Everton Football Club is surprised and irritated by the decision of an independent Premier League disciplinary commission to order a payment of compensation to Burnley Football Club in relation to Everton's PSR breach in June 2022. Everton has lodged an appeal against the decision and is clear in its conviction that the judgment is fundamentally flawed both in law and in fact." The club expressed confidence the appeal will succeed and stated it has received confirmation from the Premier League that the judgment should not trigger further PSR sanctions.
