Although those clubs eventually dropped their claims, the success of Burnley\u2019s case may lead to a re-evaluation of how clubs pursue damages following future PSR violations.<\/p>\n
Everton have warned that the ruling is dangerous, responding in a statement published on Wednesday afternoon that began: “Everton Football Club is surprised and angered by the decision of a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission.” <\/p>\n
