why interesting? thing this was always likely though....Everton got caught...Unlike Chelsea and City

Well Derby appatently had to compensate Middlesbrough after their leech of a chairman stuck his oar in after our 21 point deduction.

I hope the whole of the Premiership disappears up its own arris.

Everton survived last season mainly because of the gross incompetence of Leicesters board. That said - Everton have benefited by being able to sign players they shouldn’t have done - but I really don’t think the relegated teams will get much joy from pursuing them in court. There are many variables that could be argued to have contributed to Everton staying up and there is no ‘what if’ scenario

Apparently Simon Jordan doesn't give any of the potential litigants much chance with this.

Another £100M would be nice though!

Agreed. It’s a complete distraction the club doesn’t need and further evidence they’re still unable to truly understand why it went so badly wrong last season. They’d be better off using the money and resources to focus on undoing the tremendous damage they’ve done to the sustainability of the football club

Rudders is still there. Enough said.

Technical point but isn't it only Leicester that have a case in this, since the other two would've been relegated anyway?

The chair of the commission David Phillips KC said he was "satisfied that the applicant clubs have potential claims for compensation".
He is probably better qualified to voice that opinion than Simon Jordan.

So what if we get compensation? Is it going to restore us to the premier league? Nope. Are we going to be a better run club? Nope. Will Rudkin get his act together and actually behave like a responsible DoF? Nope

Doubt we’re going to see anything like the £100m that’s been touted. The club got relegated because it was an utter basket case - I’d much rather we managed it better than chasing after compensation claims that could drag out for months on end

Depends when the deduction was made. It could have made a huge difference and changed the whole picture at the bottom.

Plus Burnley have a case from the previous season.

It’s really been going on that long!

Think this could drag on for a while,but surely if we would have stayed up last season if Everton had not broken the rules,then there has to be a strong case for compensation.
Trouble is it could open up all kinds of future claims.
Not an everton fan since the infamous Wimbledon last game of the season over 30 years ago.
Anyone too young to know about that game should check it out.

It will drag on and at best result in a pay out that doesn’t really financially change anything. We were relegated because we were run completely incompetently. End of

Even so, £50-£100m into the coffers isn’t going to hurt 99. We’ll be stuck with Rudkin either way. Unless of course Sir Jim Ratcliffe poaches him to team up with Lee Congerton at Man Utd!
😂😂😂

😂😂😂 yeah you never know!

The Club has to go for it, good on them.

😂😂😂 no they don’t. It won’t change a single thing. and I guarantee we ain’t getting £100m. At best if 4 clubs come together it could push everton into administration (as the new owners won’t pay any damages) and relegate them. What then? Does it really erase the memories of that season? Not in the slightest

The damage - which we did to ourselves - has been done and there is no going back. We are a yo yo club, the King Power glory days are a thing of the past I’m afraid. This is just a complete distraction

Positive note that the same Independent Commission will oversea any compensation Claim us and others might make, clocks ticking for the Club to decide whether to go ahead.
