Nice gesture if we did mind.

Really? Where did you hear that?

And those going don’t forget to wipe your feet when you leave the ground.

Then the 90’s it was Man U then City and Chelsea………it’s always been about money and all relative to the decades the money was spent in. The only constant was the 4-6 teams at the top. Now we’re in the hands of extremely wealthy owners they don’t like it……..fucking tough.

FMV is the most blatant attempt at restricting our revenue streams and is nothing more than cartel like behaviour. The cartel clubs especially collectively shat themselves when we were taken over being fully aware of PiF’s portfolio of businesses they could call on to sponsor us. This should be the first restriction that is legally challenged and removed.

Bee Hive near Earsdon…..out of the way as well?

Protesting, wanting KLD out…..mag like behaviour

It didn’t take Football agents long take on the PL, UEFA and FIFA who attempted to cap their fees etc and win. I know a lot of people don’t like Nick De Marco but he knows his shit and he was involved in that case. His opinion and it’s an opinion based on his experience and legal knowledge that FFP is anti competitive and only serves to protect the already wealthy cartel clubs in what they see as their privileged positions.

Here’s to make a profit!!! The money they’ve spent on us is absolute peanuts, loose change to them and the profits you make at any PL club would hardly register on PIF’s balance sheets, these people consider profits in the hundreds may billions of $

That was the early 60’s not the 70’s although I agree, they were bankrolled by the Moores.

I agree 100% market value should be decided by the company who is willing to pay for sponsorship, should have nothing to do with related party stuff.

And if FFP had been around then you’d have Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal cleaning up every season…..so no sporting competition really is there.

I’m afraid the noise for legal challenges to FFP and FMV are growing and not just from Newcastle fans……….it’ll happen, you can’t have wealthy clubs like Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal and Spurs dictating to the rest what they can and can’t spend.

Bollocks………FFP and FMV are anti competitive and infringe Competition Law and need to go. Revenues streams are well established by the current cartel and what do the twats do? Bring in FMV to prevent our revenue streams growing. Fuck them FFP and FMV should be challenged in a Court of Law.

I don’t think we will…….but we will be able to compete for young hungry elite players and pay good wages without fear.

Weren’t Liverpool bankrolled by the Moores family in the 70’s and 80’s?

I’m not sure……my accounting abilities are pretty basic, I’m more focused on the legality of FFP, someone with far more experience might be able to give you answer. But if you bring in £200 million in sales and don’t spend it why should it not be included in the clubs financial health after 3 years?

The PL, FIFA and UEFA attempted to cap agents fees, agents took legal action and won. Gist of ruling is governing bodies organise competitions and not involve themselves in clubs commercial activities. https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1741102055014433221?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1735644167521341793?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

FFP is about losses over a 3 year period, don’t ever remember it including profits………..but agreed it’s a farce and needs to go.

Surely the £200 million would remain in the clubs accounts until they decided to spend it, whenever that may be.

Hasn’t stopped him calling it right on FFP and FMV though, has it?

There isn’t any type of FFP that would benefit any club other than the old big 6, they will always have more financial muscle than the rest of the clubs therefore competing on ‘merit’ is bollocks. The only way you can compete with them is by being able to spend or even outspend them. You can, although rarely have a Leicester City who win ‘on merit’ but even they were bankrolled by their owners. The PL clubs are not above competition law that applies to the business world, they should not be allowed to interfere in any other clubs commercial activities which has happened with firstly FFP and since we were taken over twice with FMV and an even more onerous kind of FMV that was voted down at the end of November. If clubs overspend then yes they could go bust but that’s up to their owners as in the business world. Clubs are no longer ‘community clubs’ they are multi million pound businesses that have to comply with Competition Law whether you like that or not. We hit the jackpot in respect of wealthy owners, I’m sick of listening to the top 6’s money doing all the talking, the sooner FFP and FMV is gone the better.

I’ve had a feeling that the club are preparing some kind of action, ever since Dan Ashworth’s fishing trip at the beginning of November re loan players from Saudi. I could be wrong, hope I’m not.
