Im not concerned at all. The rules have hardly changed. Commercial deals commercial rates are fine and will take us to a whole new level. Our commercial income will go up £150m+ within months and there is nothing anyone can do. That means we can spend upwards of 400m in 2 years and still not get anywhere near FFP rules.
Far from doomed we can certainly compete with the likes of villa and Everton now, but we won't get near the big 6.
It looks like the next stage in the game to me. They can't prevent us doing deals indefinitely. So they've simply cut off the clubs outside the top ones and decided to not fight that losing battle which legally was impossible to enforce without ****ing everyone. Its why Staveley and Man C rejected it. Its about stopping us two accessing wealth they cant compete with - creating our own dinner table as they have done since 1992. Hence a subjective fair market value veto process. They simply want to control any accent we make in coming years. They've also probably looked and thought "they're a ****ing million miles away" and are like us expecting relegation. The positives are its good short term news transfer wise, and it also shows that Staveley and co must not be here to dick about if they are thinking that long term. This is a power game now between very rich people.
I'm not so sure because everything is set up to ensure you're running a race with obstacles in your lane and not in the opponents. This is a play simple as that and there's a good reason nufc hasn't agreed to it and is considering legal action. If it was great news they'd have agreed wouldn't they
You keep saying we haven't agreed to it but is there any evidence of that? I was under the impression thay was about something else and other people have said the same thing but you keep ignoring this point?
I posted the article twice mate but of course that doesn't mean it's true, however if people think they spent the past month coming up with something that suits newcastle then then I'm afraid I'm simply going to disagree.
It just means we can’t have 490m for a sleeve sponsor. 700m for a shirt sponsor. Etc. But we can easily get the commercial income short term up to 150m plus a season easy. And the investment in the infrastructure and youth team and development and stadium and well basically everything outside of the first 11 is all doable via pure cash investment from the owners.
Each deal has to be treat separately as the contract is between two legal entities and thus it can’t be as part of a collective.
I'm fairly sure that the last month the premier leagues covered those bases in their new rules. They've tried to snooker nufc.
The Burnley Watford game is now off. I didn’t even know they had any cases. This is getting silly. Call all games off till new year.
