Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

The Guardian article says that Man City abstained rather than voted against.

 

They'll be sponsored by the likes of Aramco soon enough in a mega deal.

 

You’d refuse to count the amount that exceeds the genuine market value, simply dismissing it and not classing it as genuine income when looking at their declared accounts. Your main sponsor pays you £40m a season, you’re recent league winners, CL winners and on the box accordingly, so your main sponsorship value is currently way more than Newcastle. If Newcastle claimed next week that Saudi Air were to pay £50m for their shirt deal, when the current sponsor pays £6.5m there’s no way they can claim that’s genuine market value.

 

Cheers.

For arguments sake... What if they agreed a 1,000yr stadium sponsorship that had to be paid upfront?

 

makes sense to me.

 

They’d have one financial year where they made a colossal profit by using their own money……

….then they’d get laughed at, and the income would be dismissed by the PL. HMRC would likely be pleased though.

 

In the end it will ll be seen as political and illegal anti competitive moves by the PL if they try and block them from having sponsorship so the only way to go is to discount the phoney, hit them with transfer bans when the rules are broken and let HMRC collect masses of cash.

 

I got my information from the Guardian and I just went and checked after you posted this. The article has now been updated and says that city abstained rather than the 18-2 vote with city voting with Newcastle that they said yesterday I'm taking screen shots from now on

 

They’re not going to block them from having linked Sponsorships, a number of clubs already do. What they’re patently doing is seeking to define more clearly what they’ll accept as being fair market value, and they’ve given themselves a months breathing space to sort it, by blocking any new deals across the league.

 

That original Guardian article was extremely poorly written and didn’t even get main point of the months ban correct. It was only this morning when other outlets covered it that I could make sense of it.

Journalists in a hurry to break news, get it wrong, who'd have guessed.

#youhaveonejobtodo

 

I see agent ole is at it again.

It seems all a lfc conspiracy led by carragher to get him the sack.

Oh contaire! #Ole4life

Is it down to neville to call for his head or what? Are we saying the arch steel paint observer is the guy to make the call?

 

What's happened...?

 

Oo er ......

 

Apparently Carragher said that utd need a new manager if they are going to challenge for titles. Ole said "I believe in myself, as long as the club believes in me. I am pretty sure Jamie Carragher's opinion is not going to change that."

 

Circling the wagons and making out like it's all liverpool's fault before the big game.

He can then park 10 behind the ball and have an excuse.

 

Just letting top 6 in england through

I dont quite get the difference between this and the new cl ****e format bar some clubs keep all the money themselves
