I think PIF uses 60m as walking around money. Avoiding it is better.

It's not ideal unless you have a cash flow problem. Do release clause payments not get rolled into the total transfer fee for FFP?

I'd explain it to you but it's too complicated.

It was imminent last week.

I sure am glad these transfers don't drag on and on......

Seems like it's pretty arbitrary. Not sure how they calculate it. Actual value is whatever someone is willing to pay.

Also 100% true.

Makes sense, never plays. That doesn't cause it to go up.

You forgot humility!

I think it's written right there in the bylaws.

LB makes perfect sense. No RW/LW? Roll with Gordon ,ASM, Murphy, Miggy and maybe Big Joe on a wing?

You forgot to mention the badass suit.

Not sure if this was posted.

Eh? Sando would be a 5 year amortization not 6 but what other points was he wrong about? We haven't gotten shite for player sales.

Can you imagine Guimarães, Tonali and Maddison? Yea, would be insanely good.

Shelvey could be had I bet.

He speak any good english?

I just looked him up on FM, what a super stud and "Model Citizen" to boot.

I would imagine Leicester hope to get a bidding war between Spurs and Newcastle but it seems like they are not exactly in a position on strength. Assuming neither Spurs or Mags do something daft, the price has to come down and he'll have to choose.

Didn't the PL pass an anti Chelsea law making 5 years the max?

This guy was a disaster anywhere near goal. So much confidence now, such inspired effort and technical work. He's fun to watch.

Thought that was a preview.

Not sure if this was posted. Financial models broken down to categories of teams. They mention Newcastle is working toward a balanced approach of Internal vs External financing. https://theathletic.com/4605375/2023/06/14/premier-league-finances-make-money-how/ " Entirely reliant on external funding — ‘Build me a future’ Examples: Chelsea, Newcastle United The most talked about examples here would be Newcastle United and Chelsea. Both have low EBITDA (£27million for Chelsea; negative £24m for Newcastle) signifying weak to no internal cash generation. But both have wealthy owners flushing the clubs with money (pushing financial fair play to the limit) to rapidly strengthen on-pitch performance and create better internal cash engines for tomorrow. " "Newcastle United, by contrast, have been relatively measured post the takeover and are seeing steady improvement. The appointment of Eddie Howe was a clever one, and the signings have significantly enhanced the team. Newcastle’s top-four finish also positions them extremely favourably for further investment and growth."

Agree.
