Everton has re-iterated its stance on suggestions it could face legal action over the club's finances amid reports Leeds United and Burnley have threatened to claim for substantial damages.
The two sides - relegation rivals until Everton secured Premier League survival on Thursday night - are said to have raised concerns about the club's compliance with profit and sustainability rules. The Times reported both clubs had written to Everton and the Premier League demanding details of any inquiries held into losses sustained by the Blues.
A club is permitted to lose a maximum of £105m over three years. Everton's combined losses over that period are £371.8m. Leeds United and Burnley's letter is said to have warned that both reserve the right to take legal action.
