Just Now: Farke Alligate Attacker for Leeds United’s ongoing £100million dispute with PL officials

Leeds United have reportedly joined Leicester City and Burnley in writing to Everton’s new owners 777 about their intentions to sue the Toffees in the near future

The Whites are in the Championship through no fault but their own at the moment, as the 49ers pick up the pieces of a side and club not handled well at all during their time in the Premier League.

Having said that, it appears as though the club believe they have cause to be aggrieved with the Premier League and Everton in particular over how their relegation was allowed to happen.

It has been revealed by the Daily Mail that Leeds, along with Leicester City and Burnley, intend to sue Everton over losses due to relegation, having written formally to the proposed new owners of the Merseyside club, 777.

All three clubs were relegated in the previous two seasons while the Toffees survived under Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche, meaning they suffered losses of around £100million as they fell into the EFL and out of the riches of the top-flight.

As such, the report claims that Leeds and the other two are aiming to sue for that amount, amid an ongoing independent investigation around their potential profit and sustainability breaches, losing £313.5million over a three-year

Most Leeds fans will agree that the most clear reason why Leeds are in the EFL right now is because of their own mismanagement at board level, trickling down into management and the players that were recruited post-Marcelo Bielsa.

Having said that, it doesn’t exactly help Leeds and these other clubs that are trying to work within their means and stay above the threshold of financial breaches, while another club is losing money like Everton did, with no repercussions to it.

You could easily argue that if Everton are able to get away with it for two seasons, Leeds could and should have just spent a further £300million to strengthen their side, rather than rely on the sales of Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips to boost their transfer kitty.

In the end, retribution through Everton’s possible demise here won’t mean much for Leeds or Leicester right now, but if there’s a case to be made about the damage caused by an unjust relegation (£100million), then it’s worth exploring.
