This case has huge implications for Clubs who feel they were disadvantaged by Chelsea's breach of the Premier League rules, and, IF found guilty, Clubs who may have lost out to Manchester City for trophies and Champions League places. Any sports lawyers thinking of going on holiday may have to postpone them.
EXCL: The Lawyer can reveal that Burnley has won its legal case against Everton over Everton's PSR breaches. The Toffees are to pay Burnley nearly £40m in damages and interest. Everton is expected to appeal. thelawyer.com/everton-to-pay…

Who would be the most expensive player in Premier League history adjusting for football inflation (increase in total revenue for the PL per season)? It has to be the greatest goalscorer...the one and only @alanshearer at an inflation adjusted £223.3m when signing for Newcastle. He also appears at £100.2m when signing for Blackburn. @rioferdy5 appears twice in the top dozen signings

👏 A fantastic community initiative from Thornaby FC. Every eligible Thornaby-on-Tees resident can claim a fully funded season ticket for the 2026/27 season, giving access to 40 men’s and women’s home league games.
In a ground-breaking move for local football, every resident in Thornaby-On-Tees is being offered a fully funded season ticket to watch over 40 Thornaby FC men and women's home league games for the 2026/27 season. Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between Thornaby FC and Thornaby Town Council, this is believed to be the first time funded football season tickets have been made available at this scale. With over 10,000 households and approximately 24,000 people eligible, the scheme marks the largest single community initiative in the football club's history. Eligible residents must act quickly to secure their funded season tickets before the summer deadline of July 31st. To qualify, you must reside in a household paying the Thornaby Town Parish Council precept and, importantly, tickets can be claimed for each individual member of that household. For those living outside the eligible boundary, Thornaby FC will be announcing its paid season ticket and matchday admission prices tomorrow. Residents should complete the online claim form and then bring proof of their council tax to the club upon collection. 🔗forms.office.com/e/gSt6sTB6M…

FIFA is set to generate a record amount from tickets hospitality not only because the World Cup was increased in size to 48 teams. It's also nearly doubling its projected *revenue per match* because of much-higher ticket prices. via @WSJ
