The timing aligned to the FFP year end is a work of genius.

There’s a story behind this that the world needs to hear.
Also, he can’t have had much kip!?
I suspect it’s not as interesting as it could be, as much as it would be hilarious for him to be trucking mad, I know his family are massively into equestrian and I wonder if it might be to transport their horses. -

Not great reading, we would be in breach if it applied now - not withstanding last years accounts are a poor point in time reference to judge our off the field progress.

One of the worst cameos I’ve ever seen, if - and I hope we do - we release him in the summer, he will struggle to get a contract above League One.

By the way that’s written I would guess it’s dubravka
Is that not fairly inconsequential though? My reading of it is that it would be advantageous for Everton - e.g. if they knew it was a CB pairing of Krath and Burn.Hopefully BS anyway.

Southampton “annoyed at manner and timing of [Man] United's approach” with the latter also deeming Southampton’s demands “unrealistic”. Sounds familiar.

Do them selling Branthwaite for £60m + this summer not just sort them out? With FFP anyway, I’m aware of the other issues.
It would help them for the current accounting period yes. But the structural issues persist - these accounts already are mitigated in part by the sale of Gordon.Incidentally, and I’ve posted on here previously about this, I work for a company which is often approached either directly by clubs or brand intermediaries with regards to front of shirt sponsorship / other opportunities. About six months ago we were asked as to our interest for headline naming rights for their new stadium - and they were asking for an absolute pittance (c. £6-8m). Reeked of desperation.

That’ll be Dummett signing a one year extension Monday.

An alleged 50 bets between August and October 2023.

Absolutely criminal from the medical team. Verging on professional negligence.

A suggestion that a £9m fee was close to being agreed was strongly rebutted by Manchester United this week. Sources at Old Trafford suggest Newcastle paid £3m to Brighton for Ashworth and any compensation will be closer to that. The Magpies, obviously, want more – especially if he is to start immediately.
Finer details – like whether Manchester United will be barred from buying Newcastle players for a set period of time – are also yet to be ironed out. “Nothing is imminent,” one source told i this week. At this rate anyone assuming they can bank compensation in time for the summer might be disappointed.
Far from encouraging from Mark Douglas this morning. Hope we hold firm. -

Ah fair, got a link?
Tuned out of the Athletic for a bit, they seem to have the same content on loop recently.
Struggling to find it - can’t recall which piece it was in. But it wasn’t the Ornstein Q&A, albeit that does further insinuate the power dynamic at play. -

Is she not known for stirring the shit?
Jack Ross is a new name, but the idea that Howe wants the DOF position to have less sway in first team recruitment was in the Athletic over the weekend too. -

Given that Howe does not want Ashworth’s successor to have too big a say in first team men’s recruitment and the club’s English based directors appear prepared to grant that wish, Jack Ross might prove a smart replacement.
Louise Taylor in the Guardian, not a quote that inspires confidence. -
Interesting, for what I believe is the first time ever the quotes this morning would suggest it’s not guaranteed and could be appearance based?
-
Douglas in the Independent seems to be suggesting we won’t replace like for like, or at least his successor will have a slightly different remit. Which I’d hope wouldn’t be the case.

£20m would be fantastic business. I’d drive him there myself.
-
As much as I’d like to try and rationalise this in my head, it would be a major set back.
-
And this shows just how stacked the deck is. Estimate that our CL participation has earned around €34m in TV money with the coefficient model largely to blame.
Benefits the traditional elite, while clubs that have only recently qualified are effectively penalised.
And this brought a wry smile. PIF’s £27m outlay in the last two years is nearly four times as much as Ashley spent in preceding 12 years.
Should say you can sign-up to him on substack for a month and cancel. But there’s excellent analysis across the board and worth a few quid. -

I think that table is a bit misleading being labelled 'profit', that table is just income from player sales, not taking into account expenditure. Chelsea had a £238m loss on income minus expenditure.
It is profit on player sales and the tables only up to Chelsea’s annual financial results for the year ended 30 June 2022 - of which they made £123m alone in that season. So will jump again. It’s not net spend as you say, because as I understand it’s less relevant in FFP given the amortisation period.As demonstrated here.

On the need for player sales:
”One area where Newcastle have plenty of room for improvement is player trading, considering that they have only made around £11m profit from player sales in the last three years.
It will be a bit better this season following the sales of Allan Saint-Maximin to Al-Ahli for £23m and Chris Wood to Nottingham Forest for £15m, but it’s still a lot less than their rivals.
To illustrate how poor Newcastle have been in this area, they had the third smallest profits from player sales in the Premier League in the five years up to 2022 with just £62m.
In stark contrast, Chelsea generated nearly half a billion pounds (£467m) from player trading in this period, while five other clubs made more than £200m“

There has to be concurrency with UEFA as I’ve understood it.
