It doesn’t directly but if Burnley paid say £800k for the factoring then surely we could have got £500k off the transfer fee and paid upfront. Burnley would receive £300k more and we would reduce our FFP burden. A shareholder loan would be if we don’t have the cash in our bank to pay for all the transfer fees upfront this way.

I’m a bit confused as to why we would have staggered the payments for Pope if it doesn’t have a FFP benefit and Burnley needed the cash. Surely the most effective way to beat FFP in the long term would be an interest free shareholder loan and paying full transfer fees upfront at a discounted prices.

Thanks for the explanation, very interesting to know how this stuff actually works. Do you know if a club bought a player for £100m on a 5 year deal but were sold to another club a year later for £50m then would there be a £30m write down of the asset at that point as it would still be valued at £80m on the books? Wondering if this could be a reason why more high valued players get loaned out these days as the clubs can't afford the write down triggered FFP rules.

If he hurdles the challenge then there's no way his feet are planted in time to get that ball before it goes out for a goal kick and the goalkeeper benefits massively from his own mistake. Pen all day.

Hmm that sounds like something Burnsie would say... Nah man oj, click on you're post you should see an icon on the right hand side & select edit post. That should do you well I'm in the camp of it's happening very soon & expect a local oil & gas company to be bought about ~3 months later by the same people, dont be surprised to see them sponsoring us in some way or form. "Okay Mr. Burns. What's your first name?" Sorry, I don't know who he is. Cheers for the help though mate. Still awake, hope this fucking Xanax kicks in soon, I think I'm rather coherent for someone in my state, mind.

It's 2am, I'm off my tits and can't find a way to edit. Meant to type chose instead of those. Dickhead.

Absolute bullshit. The city fans if anything have been the least salty about it. It won’t go to a replay in any case. We have to play them in the league remember also. I agree though, seems to my another media attempt at trying to cause problems Have I missed something about Man City fans being more against the takeover than other clubs? Why wouldn't there be protests at whatever neutral stadium they those?

owners or anyone who has at least 30% of the shares I think Thanks, do you happen to have a source for this by any chance? Just wondering if they might end up with the Saudi's purchasing their 80% of the club split across 3 separate legal entities, in that case they would then be exempt from having to undergo these tests and then only the directors would have to be vetted. just what I found on wikipedia Cheers. The Premier League page itself seems to state the 5% in which case I don't think it feasible for them to split the equity over so many legal entities so I guess it's a bit of a no go anyway. Just my simple brain trying to think of some loophole which I'm sure lawyers with triple my IQ have already ruled out.

Should've read the Premier League page a little closer, I have found this: But even from this an average person would not qualify for exemption on being regulated and Baron Capital own over 5% of Man Utd despite being regulated and I can't find anything about them undergoing the Owners and Directors test, though I'd imagine the rules may have changed since they breached this threshold in 2014. Hoping someone with some legal knowledge or even anyone with above average intelligence could clear this up for me.

Absolutely ignorant on these matters so apologies if this has already been addressed. I have been trying to keep track of this, reading the last hundred pages or so. Does anyone know how the Owners & Directors test applies to a club like Manchester United, which is publicly traded, as surely anyone can technically become a 'part-owner'? Not sure if there's a threshold in terms of it only applying to people who own a certain percentage of the club, I skimmed their page extremely quickly but didn't see anything. Surely they can't be doing checks on anyone purchasing shares in club. Does that mean in their case that only directors need to be vetted? Does that then mean different rules apply to publicly and privately owned clubs? My legal knowledge is exceptionally limited, I'm expecting there's a simple and sensible answer to this.

Brilliant clearance off the line by MYM as well, unless the was the Chelsea game. Good thing he's still here.

Lynsey Hipgrave. She's been good whenever I've seen her on other shows like. Shame that she's a mackem though. There's also Kay Murray but she's from smogside. Are you sure? The American who introduced her the other day said something along the lines of "You're from up Sunderland way" (presumably because Altidore plays for Sunderland) and she quickly corrected him to say she was from Newcastle.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27789874 We can hope...

He's right. He almost killed Van Persie.

It does seem like he's been bulking, but in the same way an 18 year old kid would to do get big. Not in the way Bale added lean mass, or the way Marquez did for the 4th Pacquiao fight.

It may be a fraction of the loan but that is not the point, would it be a fraction of the interest?

I thought he played well. Did he kiss the badge when he scored?

Great result considering it was 12 vs 10 for most of the match.

Grow a fucking pair.

Anderson starting? Sounds like something Pardew would do.

Don't see how people can even contemplate playing Tiote over Anita, it's not even fucking close.

This is a small time mentality imo. A couple years ago Bale was a great player but he needed to adapt his game to become a real world class player. I hope the coaches at the club are pushing him to reach the best of his abilities rather than just being glad he's here. Why settle for Robert when I know HBA could be as good as Pires? Bale who adapted his game to become world class because he was given all the freedom to do what he wanted instead of being an orthadox left winger? I think you're proving Bimpys point there...
