I mean yes the first paragraph doesn’t place much faith in the hidden article.

Aye was some night 6k plus on a cold dark Wednesday in October and every man for himself before and after the game. Would love to have seen Adam P and these YouTube goons filming their content outside for that one.

Must be the worst generation of football supporters ever currently, the game has gone from working class to middle class theatre going types. Give me a cold October night at Stoke in the 90’s running the gauntlet than the current experience.

Must be a lot of people in Thailand still following Leicester, gives a sense of how we still need to tap into the Middle East market more.

K.1.3 Amortisations/impairment of relevant persons’ costs are calculated from the licensee’s annual financial statements and/or interim financial statements as defined in Annex G. Annex G from UEFA rulebook for anyone who can understand and what the PL rules will trial. https://documents.uefa.com/r/UEFA-Club-Licensing-and-Financial-Sustainability-Regulations-2024/Annex-G-Accounting-requirements-for-the-preparation-of-financial-statements-Online

Yes you’re right they’re to be trialled alongside current PSR rules from next season, but UEFA has the 70% in place I believe, so not sure if any club breaching it will fall foul if competing in Europe next season ? Not sure most reports i read said amortisation will be included and assessed yearly, as opposed to 3 year rolling period.

I’m not painting any doomsday scenario they’re just being sensible, you can see by figures how close we are.

We are currently at 68% in squad cost to revenue currently, if we qualify for Europe need to be at 70% for new rules from next season. We need to remove players from the wage bill to make room.

Brilliant must have been 7k plus in London Road, sunny day, Hall escorted to the ground by the fans and the feeling that the club was taking off under Keegan.

It’s just taking the mainstream media a little while to realise that this isn’t Mike Ashley, McKeag, or Seymour who own Newcastle anymore, we might have been handicapped by changing of the rules, but PIF won’t roll over and sell any major asset like Isak unless it benefits NUFC. Never been so relaxed and unbothered about endless drips in the media talking shit.

Yeah same with Huijsen missed the boat in summer when we were getting linked.

I think the likes of Bournemouth, Forrest and Fulham cause us just as many problems at home than some of the more heralded so called big 6. There’s an expectation to beat these sides which is why we need to be even more disciplined, especially defensively and bang up for them.

Did he not end up marking 2 blokes considerably bigger than him on the centre of the 6 yard box, where were the 2 CB’s and Joelinton stands there watching ?

Alarm bells when he ends up at Bournemouth to strengthen their CL push.

Is this the week when the tribunal rule on the APT case ? Massive if they fall on City’s side and by default decide all the rules are unlawful, hopefully don’t take kindly to the PL jumping the gun on their interpretation of the verdict.

I can see another Bournemouth here if where not at it, very good footballing team.

1987 against Villa Tony Cunningham and Beardsley goals in 2-1 win.

Like I said good accounting your lot clearly claimed for everything down to the last hot dog.

Standing in the Gallowgate at home to Villa, can’t remember the year, Beardsley shuffle at the edge of the area and drilled into bottom corner, best player in my lifetime bar none.

Ryders apprentice called Ollie Gill couldn’t make it up.

No club had anywhere near the amount you lot were allowed, good accounting and other clubs clearly missed a trick, but shows what a farce it is.

Qualify for Europe and might be wrong but think where currently already above the 70%. Introduced in 2022, this restricts a club's spending on player wages, transfer and agent fees up to 70 per cent of their revenue. This 70 per cent limit will officially be adhered to next season, having been set at 90 per cent in the 2022/23 season and 80 in 2023/24 as part of a gradual implementation process.

Looks like where royally fucked with these new squad cost rules, got a feeling the summer will see us working with a very tight budget as well, unless we make a big sale. We had a serious go and you can’t fault the ambition of signing top players like Isak, Tonali, Bruno and Botman, however looks like our income is so stretched by the wage bill we have little room for manoeuvre.

Would be a brilliant signing to raise our level, unfortunately nee chance.

I think we’ll get permission if they go for it and still expecting to be blown away when we see plans around new stadium. Think they’ll throw the kitchen sink at the new stadium option to get everyone on side.
