Sources of a football news outlet claim Leicester City may receive a record compensation payout from Everton as legal action begins. In addition to that, Foxes of Leicester look at Premier League gaffers’ opinions on pending and upcoming cases.

Apparently Leicester City Football Club’s complaint is now an official one in the works, according to this article by Football Insider. I am sure that most Foxes will back the apparent lawsuit. Although, some members of the Blue Army will probably feel sympathetically towards Everton supporters, but probably not the organisation or the Toffees ownership. The Merseyside fans have done no wrong yet are punished.

Nevertheless, City were relegated, only just, and arguably unfairly if Everton’s wrongdoings are genuine. Clearly LCFC feel wronged by ‘the People’s Club’, and are doing something about it. A ‘well-placed source’ informed FI of a combined claim from five clubs purportedly worth a staggering £200million.

What Premier League managers think of Everton’s points deduction punishment and Leicester City’s potential entitlement

This report published the thoughts of four EPL bosses who were asked about Everton, Leicester and English top-flight discipline. With Leicester’s probe reportedly now in motion, as previously mentioned, everyone will have a view. Verdicts will be polarising, as usual. Sheffield United’s Paul Heckingbottom spoke, as did Steve Cooper of Nottingham Forest. Vincent Kompany, the Burnley boss, and Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Gary O’Neil also talked to the press about imminent and past processes.

First of all, Heckingbottom said that the ‘door is now open’ for other teams to be punished if they have done wrong. Cooper is wisely more concerned with Forest’s forthcoming match against EFC because the penalty could galvanise the Toffees squad. Likewise, Kompany adroitly avoided being dragged into the discourse, preferring to concentrate on footballing matters. While O’Neil sympathises with the Goodison Park outfit.
