Mind as we get to April the wedding season will commence!

40K ?

Any old tom will do.

The new rules will block/hinder our progress for years that includes sponsorships. The only way to defeat the old cartel is a CAT.

FMV and the new more onerous FMV rules that basically tells clubs who and who they can’t have as sponsor also needs to go to a CAT.

Where did you hear that?

I’m still interested at which way clubs voted and who abstained.

When we were first taken over at a PL meeting didn’t Charnley inform the meeting that introducing FMV that it was illegal? I wonder what are the chances that it is us that have threatened legal action at the PL meeting today?

It’ll go before a Competition Authority Tribunal more than likely.

I wonder when they’ll release which clubs voted for what? They usually do.

Certainly at boardroom level.

I have a feeling Newcastle and City will have discussed FMV at length.

I guess they could now take legal action, the new rules massively restrict us. I notice the vote was 12-6 with 2 clubs abstaining.

It’s the nuclear option for City which I suspected. Hoped they’d use.

If a legal challenge gets rid of FMV I’d be happy and if say Aramco wanted to sponsor stadium naming for £80 million a year they should be allowed to. Fuck the meddling in clubs commercial activities.

Although that’s from 2015 it’ll be in their new FFP arrangements with City, PSG and now us. It won’t strangle there revenues but will ours. I keep on saying this, governing bodies should organise competitions and not involve themselves in a clubs commercial activities.

Sponsorship is calculated on ‘fair value’. Section 5. https://www.uefa.com/news/0253-0d7f34cc6783-5ebf120a4764-1000--financial-fair-play-all-you-need-to-know/

Or we could lobby KSA for funds to build a new stadium as Ratcliffe intends to lobby UK government for funds to redevelop OT.

The kind of governance that keeps the old top 6 clubs at the top and prevents ambitious clubs catching up.

UEFA and PL rules however both embrace FMV and that by definition prevents clubs turnovers growing through sponsorship.

Add to this that clubs who attempt to grow revenue streams through sponsorship deals its strangled by FMV rules.

Sky’s take from Solekhol. https://x.com/newcastlefanstv/status/1754887485077737939?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

these changes can only be brought in if PL clubs vote them in, time for other clubs to wise up and see these rules for what they are.
