Leeds United set to go ahead with multi-million decision involving Everton — MOT Leeds News 20/11/23

Leeds United, Leicester City and Burnley have made their decision regarding taking Everton to court post their points deduction, according to Paul Brown.

The Josimar journalist told Give Me Sport on 20 November that the clubs have briefed the media plenty of times and are prepared to go ahead with the decision.

The Daily Mail have reported that Leeds may be in line to receive as much as £100million if they’re successful with their suit.

Brown said, “I think Everton would be foolish not to be worried about potential claims by Leicester, Leeds and Burnley. This has been something that’s been rumbling in the background for a long time now. Those three clubs have been briefing the media about their intention to do this and I’m told they will go through with the threat.

“There was a verdict in a separate hearing, confirming they do have a potential claim. That claim will now be heard as part of this process and while it’s going to be incredibly difficult to quantify the losses that those clubs incurred, the Independent Commission did find that Everton gained a sporting advantage from their overspending.”

It appears clear that Leeds are gearing up to pursue compensation, asserting that they have fallen victim to Everton’s alleged misconduct.

The objective is to initiate a financial claim to address the losses suffered following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League.

With backing from fellow relegated clubs like Leicester, Southampton, and Burnley, the collective stance is underpinned by the belief that Everton’s rule breach provided them with an unfair sporting advantage.

The fact that they’ve briefed the media so often and lawyers are saying they’ve got a valid basis for an appeal means that they will be going ahead.

The anticipation of securing financial redress from the Toffees seems optimistic, and Leeds are resolute in their intention to follow through with this course of action in the ensuing months.

The Whites’ supporters are hopeful that this compensation, if granted, could serve as a welcome windfall, aiding the club’s bid to reclaim a spot in the Premier League.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity.

The work is expected to take around two months to complete.

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
