He was hung out to dry the way Burnley played last season - Kompany gave him zero protection. You cannot judge him from that - he's highly rated.

Play him

Surely they can’t spend £100 million with 115 charges hanging over them.
They clearly just do what they want

Is a bit of a shame they haven’t decided to postpone the Sela display tomorrow, even a couple of weeks would mean the kittiwakes breeding season is largely over
yeah - a bit of a PR own goal. Poor birds

City are the only club we have to be worried about

Isn't the fit the same? dimensions are identical

I recon we throw out fake rumours to get Bohely to buy the players we don't want

Get SSNs in the courts as well. Devaluing our players like that.
Sue them for millions- PSR sorted

Yeah, I've just read the times article again, the ones who broke the story and they say City are looking to end the APT rules.
Agreed - the change in Feb were just the hump that broke the camels back. City want APT rules chucked out which is why the likes of Henry Winter are whining as they know it will allow the likes of Newcastle to spend.

I'd sooner there be some sort of spending cap rather than basing it on losses. If a club's owner has the money and there's some sort of proof of funds that can be shown, then do it.
Take the oil state clubs out of the equation, but why should clubs like Villa or even Bournemouth be held back just because they don't have the stadium or commercial revenue of the bigger clubs? Bournemouth shouldn't have to be thinking over the next year that they'll have to sell Solanke if they want to buy new players to push on.
A club like Wycombe Wanderers who've just been taken over by some billionaire for example should at least be able to dream of going all the way to the top even if that's not what the intention of the new owner is.
The whole point of FFP was trying to stop clubs spending money they don't have not the money they do have.

The problem for the Premier League is just how rich our owners are.
Even Reubens as our minority owner are still richer than majority if not all of the other clubs.
Our main owner is rich enough to buy every football club in England, many times over.
Current rules are too restrictive for ambitious clubs. Even promoted clubs with no parachute payments will struggle.
Equally, having no rules will make mean only ourselves and Man City can compete, with rest of the clubs winning the odd trophy.
Where do you draw the line? It needs to be a lot more relaxed then where it is currently drawn.
Plenty of PL clubs have Billionaire owners the trouble is they can't spend. A lot of clubs could potentially benefit from this ruling it's not just Newcastle.

I really hope fans draw a line in the sand and have the gumption to say they disagree with our owners and while ffp should be modified, we don't want to play a 'virtual reality' game of championship manager where everything basically becomes hollow, where winning because we happen to be owned by PIF as opposed to winning because we've grown the academy, made astute signs & judgement, showed loyalty to the right manager(s), garnered the right atmosphere at SJP etc.
we are already there - that horse has well a truly bolted just those clubs that have benefit have pulled up the draw bridge to stop other clubs joining.

I want to see us win a trophy before I die. "Winning the right way". Fuck that. If Man City win and it allows us to spend more to be successful on our own I'm all for it.
what is the right way? the rules are there to protect the elite and the only way to challenge is to find a way to navigate said rules. And sponsorship is the only way round.

I really wish our owners would rise above this sort of stuff and publicly back sensible rules around spending. It's embarrassing if we're seen to be one of the clubs supporting man city in this.
It'll be Chelsea

I would think it's because it'll write off any chance of many of the 115 charges coming to pass.
Said this earlier, but there are no goodies in this like, only baddies.
They seem more concerned we'll be able to spent what we want - for me this just opens the door for any club with billionaire owners to have a go. PSR rules are to protect clubs going under - if clubs can get investments - spent away.

What a these Journos going on about saying it potentially ruins the integrity and competitiveness of the league if City win - it's already a one horse race. City are already light years ahead of everyone else. If anything this will make the league 'more' competitive. The bias from the press is unreal.

Probably the best option. Perhaps they're so confident City will win, that's there's no need to get involved?
I recon Chelsea are the club who are supporting City - it's got Boehly written all over it

Newcastle get a mention

Does this also refer to player sales between clubs with the same owner? I remember City were planning on signing a midfielder on the cheap this summer and there was talk of it not being of fair market value, so I wondered if that is what is driving this.
as I understand it - yes

It’s the perfect example of a deal that needs to be looked into then, surely?if a deal benefits the owner rather than the club, shouldn’t those deals be the ones that ARE looked into? Otherwise we’ll end up with plenty more teams going under like Bury.
Fair point - he certainly robbed the club of revenue

Let's hope he shines pre-season and forces his way into Eddie's thinking. It just depends how close we are to the wire come 30th June and who else we are able to sell.
