Everton may have to bear some more financial pain despite them already facing two points deductions last season.
The Toffees were already found guilty of having breached the Profitability and Sustainability Rules set out by the Premier League.
They admitted to this breach but their behind-the-scenes problems may not completely be behind them.
Dan Friedkin is the Everton owner.
Burnley bring about compensation case against Everton
Burnley have brought about a compensation case against the Toffees as they were the ones who got relegated the season the club committed the breaches.
The Goodison Park outfit need representation in the case against the Championship outfit and have turned to Brick Court’s Mark Howard KC.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Liverpool Echo reported on 17 March that financial pain may still be on the cards for the club given the Clarets’ recent case.
Burnley suffered a £58million drop in revenue as a result of their relegation and that is why they are seeking compensation from Everton.

The Friedkin Group now have another challenge to deal with post the takeover
Everton now face a pivotal moment with Burnley’s compensation claim looming, and their response could shape their financial and strategic future.
With the Friedkin Group’s takeover stabilising ownership and Premier League survival secured for this season, the club could first bolster their legal defence to argue that Burnley’s relegation stemmed from their own failings, not Everton’s PSR breach, despite the three points gained against the Clarets in 2021/22 complicating this stance.

Financially, they might prepare for a potential settlement, to avoid a drawn-out battle that risks setting a precedent for future claims.
On the pitch, the club could use this as motivation to strengthen their squad, ensuring performances render such disputes irrelevant by avoiding relegation scraps.
The Toffees might accelerate summer transfer plans to build a competitive edge under David Moyes.
Additionally, the Goodison Park outfit could push their case publicly, highlighting the Premier League’s delay in applying the deduction as a mitigating factor, shifting some blame to the league’s process.
By balancing a robust defence with proactive squad investment, they can mitigate financial pain and emerge stronger, especially with their new stadium on the horizon as a revenue driver.
