Said this at the weekend - Sky Sports might probably try to make it happen as their DEADLINE DAY AND IT'S LIVE is going to be another one where virtually nowt happens to due to shitty PSR!

From the Athletic - sounds like the huge wages are untrue if Chris Waugh is correct Surely getting a rumoured £15million and Lloyd Kelly’s alleged high wages off the bill is “free money” in a PSR world? — Chris M. Waugh: The Kelly situation is not one which was envisaged when the winter transfer window opened at the start of the month. That is not to be misconstrued as thinking Newcastle have been, or indeed are, actively looking to sell him. Rather, an opportunity may present itself with Kelly which, in PSR (the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules) terms, makes sense for the club. Advertisement With Kelly arriving on a free transfer from Bournemouth last July after his contract there expired, there was no fee paid, meaning there is no amortisation cost. Usually, transfer expenditure is spread over a contract so, if Newcastle paid £25million ($30.8m) for someone on a five-year deal, that would be £5m per season over that time. Often when a player is sold, not all of the fee can immediately be ‘banked’ for PSR, because the remaining amortised costs must be deducted. But Newcastle do not have any expenditure to write off with Kelly, so any fee they receive for him would bolster their PSR in full. To clarify, however, rumours that the 26-year-old defender is among the club’s highest earners are untrue. Theoretically, Kelly could be expendable given his squad status. He has made only four Premier League starts this season and just seven in all competitions. With Sven Botman and Emil Krafth fit again, alongside Dan Burn and Fabian Schar, there are four senior centre-halves available to Howe, plus Lewis Hall and Matt Targett at left-back. Kelly has only made seven starts in his debut season with Newcastle (Stu Forster/Getty Images) Even so, ideally Newcastle would hold onto Kelly. Yes, he has struggled this season, but he has three previous years of Premier League experience and only turned 26 in October, while most of Newcastle’s centre-halves, Botman aside, are already 30 or over, and the defence’s age profile needs to be reduced. Signing a replacement who can cover two positions, like Kelly can, would not be cheap, so that must be considered too. Neither Fenerbahce of Turkey nor Italy’s Juventus have seriously tested Newcastle’s resolve yet. The former’s permanent offer was too low — their vice-president going public with their interest was received negatively inside St James’ Park — while the latter’s loan bid is not in Newcastle’s interests. If any club were to make a serious bid — probably in excess of £15million, if not £20m — then Newcastle would have a decision to make, given the potential PSR effects. For now, though, Kelly is not set to leave before the February 3 deadline.

You've got to applaud Chelsea's absolute piss-taking of these rules mind!

The Stack tweeted saying it was an error!

Staying until the summer - now get that 2nd League Cup final winning medal please (and an FA one too!)!

Liverpool away in the cup was an absolute rocket!

The corner next to the away fans 100% needs to be a singing section (like it used to be!)!

Home crowds are generally quiet for 12.30pm kick-offs tbf.

I thought the exact same thing! Has anyone scored as many screamers for us as Robert? Probably only Pedro who would rival him?!

Aww yes, the daily SSN Transfer Talk about Isak to Arsenal - idiots! Nailed on for the summer apparently.

Each to their own but I’ve never left early and never will - it’s like going to watch a movie and leaving before the end! (PS - Unless Michelle Keegan wanted to meet me in Popworld!)

Best centre forward in the world - had no service yesterday - will notch at Southampton

Sorry lads - and that is why I quit gambling ha ha! They must have cleaned up as everyone I know backed it to the max that they could!

Dear me!

It could easily have been 7 or 8 if it wasn’t for him - the very least of our worries yesterday The Man Utd move has definitely affected people’s opinions

My Da first took me when I was a bairn in 84 - East Stand (benches!) front row in between the Gallowgate box and halfway line (seat 133 I think!) - Sloanes (now the Hancock) pre-match every game with a trip to the old supporters shop (loved that place) near Haymarket bus station on the way up! I remained there until 91 when I started going with mates and we varied where we went - corner, scoreboard, Leazes and Milburn paddocks where we got season tickets until 94 where I moved to my current seat now just behind the Gallowgate goal! Great memories and although I can see the logical side of a new ground, the reasons why I want us to remain! Love these last few pages!

If I was still gambling I’d be lumping every penny I could on Isak SOT Evens on 365! Mates have maximum stakes between £20 and some £40!

Great last few pages on this thread!
