Not quite negative but at least three zeros out. The Man City Group has had a net investment in players of UKP1.2billion, spending on facilities and shares in other clubs that probably doesn't amount to more than UKP0.8billion and at the same time has increased the value from UKP210million to a notional UKP3.9billion, based on the recent 10% share sale That's a great return on investment and is presumably a model the PIF would want to follow. It needs the investors to have a long term view on cash flow but as they are funded by the oil and gas business that comes with the territory.
FFP will be ignored because the penalties are financial. I was pleased hearing ex owners shutting this down as a long term obstacle on the radio yesterday. All it means is that they will just factor in the potential fines /penalties into their plan.
I thought Man City had just been banned from Europe for a season for lying about sponsorship associated with an FFP investigation. Are you saying if they hadn't lied about it they wouldn't have been banned?
I'm saying FFP wont be a long term issue.. they will work its loopholes and push the boundries factoring in penalties... man city just made a mistake anyway.
I don’t think FFP will be much of an issue as I don’t think they’re planning on splurging like Chelsea and City did. At some point you’ll twig that it’s an investment fund not a stash of casino cash. The Saudis are in it to make a profit and Staveley is definitely not in it for the glory.
at some point you will realise that its just a matter of time .. they will get up there and keep going. also the key thing here isnt the desire to throw money around competing its about outdoing the clubs around you .. and so on like everton
the same as man united around 30 million , but nufc has had no money from advertising or sponsors , so that will be an area the group can look at and will be wiser than you are as to what's possible. I just liked it ... oh sorry they only have 25 billion between them plus access to 260 billion, so yeah skint like... no way nufc can compete better. a waste of time for these idiots involved stan on 606 says so
Do you think the Glazers are in it for the glory? Do you think the Saudis are prepared to lose money on their investment to win a League Cup?
I would say the ban from European competitions, but with Rafa at the wheel there is no chance of that.
So can some explain to me why the Everton 2 are catfighting with Roy about Newcastle being taken over? Just a short answer will do.?
Because they know their clubs aims have become more difficult and they happen to hate nufc . simple enough ?
Neither. Just baiting Chaos as he’s such an easy wind up and utterly ****ing clueless. Even his own think he’s an absolute whopper. See the takeover thread on the Toon board for details.
