A little but not much and broad agreement needs to be in place before the deadline. Either way we cutting it fine haha

It feels to have all gone a bit quiet on this one though.

Will make qualifying for the champions league a Herculean tax if so.

Given how we’ve been treated it seems a bit soft to me.

Wonder how many points we are getting deducted next season

I really don’t see how they can legislate against clubs trading with one another. The amount of over reach we see from the league before this is breathtaking the fact they are willing to continue to step it up leaves me speechless. Cmon city, destroy these cunts.

Do a Chelsea and sell it to ourselves.

Do we have any ideas about the financial side of this? Are we renting stacked the land? Is it a profit share? A licensing deal?

And you’re definitely right most of it is bollocks these days. But half of the fun is the daft speculation.

Aye you definitely should have but I couldn’t care less about deal’s involving Villa and spurs amusement aside. And speaking personally I only take matters relating to NUFC seriously, I’m sure your good self is similar when it comes to the spurs too.

In not triggered just find woeful bids amusing in general, even when we do them. @brummie might be triggered at such an offer though.

Waugh has dropped a quota filing piece on the athletic for those with nothing else better to do.

Pretty much, all clubs are basically on the hunt for the safe profile it’s part of the reason why we have so much trouble shifting our squad players, people would rather take the chance on a younger player who will improve, average players at their peak? Not so much.

Our scouts are definitely good but all of these players have been on other clubs radars as well mind.

Fingers crossed.

Makes sense as it’s basically lawyers who wouldn’t want to risk leaking anything for obvious reasons.

We don’t know the verdict yet. It’s also interesting that we were meant to have more sponsors lined up but still nothing has been announced I wonder if these two issues are related.

Here have a player we don’t want and haven’t wanted since we bought him and we’ll throw you 20m as a sweetener.

I was just thinking, as we are moving to squad cost the season after next it takes away the 3 year rolling period (if I’m not wrong). Now I’m no accountant but if I’m not mistaken this effectively nerfs selling players for FFP purposes. Because you get the sale proceeds in one financial year but you can’t go out and spend all of the proceedings in one year as you will suffer in your amortisation costs in the following years, so unless you’ve grown your revenue to offset the additional costs you have to sell again. if my understanding is correct.

It’s fine for them, they have massive revenues. Steeling is in 350k

Agree but you make a massive chunk which can be utilised to improve the rest of the squad. The Grealish sale transformed Villa, without that headroom they would have had nothing. That being said, I don’t want us to let him go at any price, I just see the logic to the club doing so.

No upgrade exists imo.

This isn’t really the is it? The thing called PSR/FFP makes basically anyone skirting the line vulnerable to selling players they don’t want to sell.

I think we would, it’s double what we paid after all. I feel he’s worth more to us but I can’t see us getting much more.

It’s not even really about success sadly, it’s just pure profit and loss and increasing revenue. Look at Leicester they were successful and still fell foul. It’s just a bullshit system designed to maintain the status quo.
