Burnley getting beat again, good to see, but if they get relegated to the 3rd tier, do you think they will try to blame us and sue for more cheating cash.

If that happens, the EPL will probably blame us and deduct 10 points, tell us to give them 35m, and take the 1 VAR decision we get per season off us.

Burnley are not going to get the £35 mill. One almighty cockup by the same 3 that gave us 8 pts. For a start, Everton's punishment timing was not down to Everton.

Everton have already paid the £38 million. Everton requested to pause the payment or place the money into an escrow account pending their appeal, but the panel rejected both requests.
Everton warned that Burnley's financial position as a relegated club was weak, presenting a real risk that they wouldn't have the liquidity to pay it back immediately if they win their appeal.
If we win the appeal, the Premier League appeal panel would issue an order compelling Burnley to return the funds.
If Burnley are unable to return the £38 million, the Premier League has the power to intercept their central funding, withhold future TV rights revenue and parachute payments or merit awards and redirect those funds directly back to Everton.
I'm assuming that all this would take some considerable time.
