After one of these 2 are relegated (hopefully weeds utd) i bet Burnley will pull out of any legal action.

[Football] Leeds & Burnley threaten legal action against Everton
- Thread starter TomandJerry
- Start date
I think the key words are "this season". Clearly there is no way a conclusion to this could be arrived at in the next couple of months before next season starts, so any points deduction would need to occur next season. This wouldn't benefit either Burnley or Leeds, but they COULD be financially compensated.

Yes. Boro and Derby came to a financial settlement.

Best scenario is:
1) Everton get docked enough points next season so that the season is a prolonged agony for the fans and they get relegated at the end.
2) Dirty Leeds to be relegated tomorrow, quickly followed by an exodus of their best players.

The Premier League won't do anything knowing them. They have less teeth than my Grandma!

I doubt there is any way the PL will punish Everton. The possibility (and it is only a possibility) is that there could be a legal settlement where the relegated club sues the PL for not following its own ruiles - like with the West Ham / sheffield United / Tevez fiasco, it wouldn't cancel the relegation, it would just provide financial compensation.

If Everton have been up to wrong doing and leeds get relegated because of it.....where's the problem?

Desperate stuff when clubs invoke legal action to save their skins.

It’s time FFP was scrapped. It’’s not fit for purpose and some clubs will always find ways of flouting it!
Does the departure of onebloke count as an exodus? Wouldn't it be an exodum? Sorry I got only a grade 3 for my Latin GCE.
Pedicabo te, Ledes
To be replaced by what?
Thank the lord you weren't in charge of road safety when drink driving limits were first mooted. Or speed limits near schools. We can't stop all them speedsters, so let the children die! Or something.
I know what you mean....but better rules are better than no rules when some rules are required. Innit?

Shirley an open and shut case. Either they blatantly cheated or the rules were changed/suspended for covid. Know that’s not realistic but should take 2 mins to sort either way.

The -us and -um endings are nothing to do with singular and plural, just whether the word they end is the subject or object of a sentence. Anyway, exodus is already singular. And it's from Greek 'exodos' , meaning the way out (ex, out, + hodos, road).

Count yourself lucky you still remember what grades you got.
I googled Ledes, and discovered it was a very minor place in Roman Times; a hamlet at best. Let's hope it returns to being a backwater in the Championship later today.
