Relegation rivals threaten £300M action against Everton

Everton face being sued for £300 million if they are not relegated this season.

The Toffees could be subject to legal action by their Premier League rivals due to financial regulation breaches.

Per The Mail, Southampton, Leicester, Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Burnley have all told the Premier League they want compensation from the Toffees.

They believe that Everton have breached spending rules, but have not received appropriate punishment.

There is a disciplinary hearing on the matter set for a future date, but clubs are upset that the situation was not resolved before the season's conclusion.

These clubs are all involved in possible legal action, but the ultimate suit would come from the two teams and Southampton that are relegated.
