TRon Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 FFP may also increase cost of players in this country as clubs bound to it look to maximise revenue to allow them to buy. Teams like Chelsea and Man City will get around it somehow. Teams like us need to be better at bringing players through and look to bring in players to develop rather than finished article. To be fair to the fat one, he has us in a fantastic position financially and looking on our way to being self sufficient, however he now needs to release some funds and get the right setup in terms of manager, first team, squad and youth setup to take advantage of it and set us up long term. It's the lack of coaching infrastructure and qualified DOF that is hurting us more than investment in players. Quite a few have already said they would prefer us to spend less on players and use that money to hire a proper manager which I agree with. Ashley will do the first part so at least we'll be halfway there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Spend less on players!? How? I think that comment was made when the stories of us spending £60m were doing the rounds yesterday. The club's since killed that rumour dead so that's how. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm hoping that someone uncovers something really dodgy with tax or whatever within Sports Direct, so dodgy that it collapses the company and he's forced to sell us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that this would literally be best case scenario but he's basically cornered the high street now. He's got Milletts, a stake in Debenhams, LA Fitness now going through, stakes in Umbro, Slazenger, Dunlop, Donnay, etc etc etc. He's pretty much rich beyond redemption now. A Billionaire outside of Sports Direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 UEFA Financial Fair Play regarding Manchester City mega sponsorship deal with Etihad = "There is also a question mark over City's Etihad sponsorship deal - worth between £35million and £40million a year - and whether UEFA regards that as being of fair market value as it is with a party related to the club's owners."

I've had a word with the cosmos (like Noel Edmonds does) and hopefully something like this will happen soon. Maybe if you all had a word with the cosmos too it would have a more powerful effect.

Teasy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 FFP may also increase cost of players in this country as clubs bound to it look to maximise revenue to allow them to buy. Teams like Chelsea and Man City will get around it somehow. Teams always try to maximise what they can sell a player for (outside of the rare oddities like falling out with players ect but that will always happen), so I don't see FFP changing that. Generally prices get inflated when you have some people/clubs willing to pay whatever it takes because they've got money coming out of their arses (Chelsea/Man City).

Cajun Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Have to say that watchdog thing was a bit pants. If you can't work out £30 to £15 pound isn't 70% off then you should have gone to school. Obviously it's preying on the thick but most people I know who are that thick are annoying as fuck anyway. Now if they did a Mike Ashley and Newcastle United piece they'd probably have something a lot more interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt the 70% based on the rrp rather than whatever price they were previously undercharging for the piece of tat? They have that many sales i wouldnt read anything into the previous price listed, its like dfs no fucker knows what the original price was supposed to be as its a perma sale.

What an unpleasant man he must be. He is just like any other ruthless businessman. Why does he need to acquire the adorations of hundreds of thousands when that is not even a prerequisite to gain him any £££. He can treat the fans like filth over and over yet 50 thousands spectators will still turn up week after week £££. He's loving it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 He doesn't care - for a (relatively) small annual investment he keeps the team in the most lucrative league in Europe the price someone might pay goes up all teh time as long as we stay in the PL he gets the best seats when he want s them either for himself or his mates or someone he wants to do business with he doesn't live in the NE, he probably knows no-one from Newcastle and sure as hell he doesn't read BB like this one He really doesn't care what we think of him - we're outside his universe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
