We know what the detail will be, owners not allowed to invest, FMV strangling revenue streams like sponsorship and associated party deals very strictly monitored. Unless the club has a very clever strategy to circumvent this shit or prepared to act legally we’ll be nothing more than a top 6-10 club well into the future.

Never asked for a look??‍♂️

All if’s, if my aunty had a knob she’d be my uncle!

With regard to the Arena site, I do know that there are NDA’s in place. I’m not saying that any new stadium will be built there mind, we’ll have to wait and see.

That is not the issue though, the issue is are the rules against competition law and that’s what needs testing in a tribunal. Whether clubs sign up season after season has nothing to do with it. All it would take is one really pissed off club to instigate action……City’s nuclear option if things don’t go well.

If you want to play in the PL you have to, Hobsons Choice. Doesn’t mean that FFP,FMV aren’t against UK Competition Law, that has to be determined and if they are they’ll be swept aside.

You don’t have to prove it’s fair or not, you have to prove that it’s anti competitive and breaches UK Competition Law.

I’m sure the legals would be able to rip up the PSR/FMV/FFP rules apart to…….time will tell.

Leicester City, Imteresting, not being a lawyer not sure what it means, looks like they won their case. One of the comments to the tweet pointed out how easy it was for the legals to rip the rules apart…..who knows?‍♂️ https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1766396152725819692?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

No it wont be in the courts…………..and a club (City) are understood to have threatened legal action in CAT more than likely. https://www.catribunal.org.uk

Fucking hell…….their Social Fund grant must’ve been approved.

Sorry but the need for social housing far outweighs the needs of private housing development.

It won’t be social housing you can bet on that, there might be a tiny proportion available for rent and believe me it won’t be affordable rent that will help homeless people. If they were to build all social housing on the site I’d fully agree with you.

Doesn’t mean that housing will be built. The land can still be sold by them say to the club if they want to build a stadium.

Member of my family is a consultant town planner and has visited the Arena site in connection with work. It’s ideal for a stadium, also it’s only been ‘master planned’ and the land has been purchased. It’s all down to the club approaching the council, should they want to, with plans for the site. Master planning doesn’t mean that housing etc will be built there. The land can still be purchased from the current owners, probably at a profit, once again only if the club chooses to go that way. As for all the green land around Newcastle, green belt and green field sites are completely different things in planning, so I’m told.

You don’t work with cartels in any sector of business, you work to destroy them and the same applies to football or any elite sport.

Until City were taken over they were an average club as we are. We’re being denied the right to compete as are other ambitious clubs. It needs to change and if the cartel clubs don’t like it tough, even Palace’s co owner has spoken out against the current rules.

Therefore it’s no different to any other business sector which wouldn’t tolerate constructs like FFP and FMV. They would rapidly be challenged at a Competition Appeals Tribunal.

I’ve said it many times, all that exists in football is self interest, all the altruistic bollocks about protecting other clubs is a steaming pile of shite.

If we, or others don’t resort to legal action then we’ll just have to be happy as an also ran, a mid to top 6-7 club that might fluke the odd cup, although lets face it we haven’t for the last 68 years. Everyone can see what’s going on now, even ordinary fans, that a cartel is well established. Smash it to fucking pieces and let the scouse and Manc twats really hate us.

Yes, all the industry like the old lead works fucked off…Arena site is ideal and would completely regenerate the area.

There are geo political reasons for that though.

He certainly fucked governing bodies attempts to cap agents fees under anti competitive legislation. https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1741102055014433221?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1735644167521341793?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ
