CLUB STATEMENT (2026)
2026-06-10T15:01:30.713Z
A statement from Burnley FC Chairman Alan Pace following this afternoon’s publication of the Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision.
“When we were relegated in 2022, we disappointingly accepted the outcome on the pitch. What we could not accept and what no club should be asked to accept was competing in a competition later shown to have been compromised.
We did not come to this lightly. When resolution through every available channel was declined, formal action was imposed as the only path left to us.
The Independent Commission has now confirmed, in clear terms, that a rule was broken and a competitive advantage was improperly gained.
Our action has always been about making football fair. Clubs that comply with the rules deserve to compete on a level playing field. Fans deserve it. The sport demands it.
The Commission’s decision affirms the existing framework to protect the game.”
