Hall MOTM Sensational Today

Best player on the pitch Absolute filthy left foot

Hall - 100%

Simple passes misplaced has nothing to do with Howe

New Capacity (if we do move) has to be 68,387 if you know , You know

Our soul ?

Yeah we’ve been very good in patches and very poor in others. Think that matches our squad strength (we have a decent 11/12 players )

Huge overreaction as always We are probably paying 7th/8th highest wages in the premier league. I think we will finish 6th or 7th We still have some very average squad players. Dont know why people can’t see this. Only absolute astute scouting / signings will get us back into the top 4/5. It’s going to be a super slow build. i am enjoying us at least being competitive again and have ambitious owners willing to put money in.

Won 3-2

I was there ! in the leazes - standing right hand side of the goal (next to east stand) Shilton in goal ?

Cherki 🙏

The 5 reasons I am open to a new stadium 1 , it means PIF are truly invested 2 it can massively help with PSR 3 it can attract a higher calibre of player , or swing a transfer in our favour once they have visited to look around 4 With the right architect they can build a stadium with fantastic acoustics - which can only help in terms of atmosphere 5, A chance for an extra 10-15k to see newcastle play in the flesh

New Capacity (if we do move) has to be 68,387 if you know , You know

That’s the spirit 👌🏻 Maybe we get a brand new stadium very close by and its absolutely fantastic , atmosphere improves and we start to win things ?

If only there was an invested sovereign wealth fund that could inject some cash to help 😊

Ahh well , the boring fucks

I think everyone would do it in the gallowgate if it was publicised for a few weeks (before that game) …. also advertising every few days beforehand / reminders etc

Loved this kit , Me in the senior cup v Blyth Spartans

Brentford Tonali will start this game 100% Longstaff banned (cup)

Surely it’s a game he is going to attend or he might not see it in all its glory ? either way - great idea and well deserved it will fire up a great atmosphere

Door open for huge deals if Premier League loosens related party rules All teams in the top flight stand to benefit if the Premier League’s proposed changes to the rules on Associated Party Transactions (APTs), as seen by The Times, are adopted in a vote on November 22 October 07 2024, 6.30pm Rules governing commercial deals between clubs and related companies were declared unlawful last month after being challenged by Manchester City Rules governing commercial deals between clubs and related companies were declared unlawful last month after being challenged by Manchester City DAVE THOMPSON/AP The Premier League has detailed the proposed rule changes on Associated Party Transactions (APTs) in a 14-page document, seen by The Times, that has been circulated to clubs before a meeting in London on November 22. The focus is on three key areas of the rules. The panel cited the exclusion of shareholder loans — interest-free loans from companies or individuals that have more than a 5 per cent stake in the club — as a key area that needed to be addressed, with the English champions arguing that the cost of such loans should be included in the League’s financial regulations. In the proposal document, the definition of “fair market value” has been softened slightly from whether the amount “would” be sold to “could” be sold between willing parties. Of potentially huge significance, however, is the fact that the words “in normal market conditions” have gone from the existing rules, along with three paragraphs outlining what that actually means. City’s legal dispute was sparked by a block that was placed on a large new sponsorship deal with Abu Dhabi-owned Etihad Airways, but the rule change would seem to make allowances for the value an oil-rich Middle-Eastern state may place on an association with a top-flight English football club. The clubs will meet at the Nobu Hotel in Portman Square, and while League officials are hoping this brings some peace to a situation that has escalated into civil war between rival clubs, it remains to be seen if these proposals will be passed with a 14-club majority required. Previous votes on the rules, introduced in 2021 in the wake of Newcastle United’s Saudi-led takeover, have been on a knife edge, with 12 voting in favour and six against — with two abstentions — when the amendments that sparked City’s legal dispute were passed in February. As well as the shareholder loans, which for some clubs run into millions of pounds, the proposed amendments concern a reversal to some of the rule changes implemented this year and a club’s access to the relevant data, which is relied upon by the Premier League board when assessing if an APT is of “fair market value”. In future, access will be granted before the appeal stage. The proposals are the result of meetings of the Premier League’s legal advisory group and financial controls advisory group, with the exclusion of shareholder loans now removed and only equity injection investments remaining exempt. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if further concerns are raised given the speed with which the Premier League is now trying to resolve the matter against the backdrop of the hearing into the 115 charges levelled at City for alleged financial rule breaches. The Premier League’s claim that the APT rule amendments could be implemented “quickly and effectively” was met with an immediate challenge by City’s legal counsel, Simon Cliff, who accused Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, of “misleading clubs” and warning against a “kneejerk reaction”. Cliff said it was a time “for careful reflection and consideration”, inviting clubs to communicate directly with him if they wanted a more detailed read-out on the 175-page award document published by the tribunal. This came as a shock to some clubs, even if others have proved more sympathetic to City’s cause. If the new amendments, which have been drafted with the assistance of “leading counsel, Daniel Jowell KC”, are voted in by the clubs on this occasion, they will be effective immediately.
