This forum hasn't really paid a lot of attention to FFP, hopefully that may change soon. But is it even possible with the current rules for any team to improve their station considerably ? I know PSG and Man City, have circumvented the rules, to still heavily invest however say some oil rich Saudi Prince took over Huddersfield Town how long would it take for them to be in a champions league position ?

 

Well we can build up our standing (not be run like a grubby corner shop for a start) which in turn can increase commercial revenues significantly.  Also money spent on stuff like stadiums or training facilities isn't included in FFP so we could improve things heavily there which will again improve revenues.

3pm Press Conference?

 

Wonder how many people there are left on here that even get that joke. :lol:

 

I'm sure there is quite a range!

 

I started the 3pm press conference thing. Claim to fame. I'm pretty certain giggs was mine too.

People getting waaaay ahead of themselves on here and social media btw. Due diligence can take months and, when they look under the bonnet, can just as easily break deals.

 

Heads of Terms is where it's at. Not worth getting our hopes up until HoT is mentioned.

 

The way some of the social media reaction has gone, you'd think we were announcing it.

 

To use a house-selling analogy, she's just booked the appointment to have a look around. She might want four bedrooms instead of three or she might love the place but it's still a long way off imho.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone else buys it unexpectedly.

 

So what you're saying is, the deal should be completed tonight?

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

God, what a nice problem to have. FFP. Fuck me.

Set penis thing is a phrase you will regularly hear me use when with a mate/Wor lass in whatever random setting thanks to N.O and whoever first uttered it, be it B&Q or a pub. I'll just say, quite loudly, what did you think of NUFC's set penis play the other day, match etc. The look on people's faces, not quite sure if I said penis or play. I do the same with contactless, asking people if I can pay by cocktacktless, again loud. We have a slang word for penis as well, tookle, I'll be in say Greggs and ask the staff if they sell tookle juice and they always look at me dumbfounded, I say it's just that in the states, where I've just come from, their Greggs sell it. Eeeh, never knew they had Greggs in America, I'll take it up with the manager. It's obviously funnier when it's me and my work colleagues, who all get red faced and now refuse to enter a shop with me where they know I'll be paying by... cocktactless.

FFP :yao: It doesn't exist at that level, it only picks on the smaller guys.

Aye, PSG have shown how little they think of UEFA’s version. There are many ways around it, non the least through sponsorship of other companies that they own (Man City). If a mega rich person wanted to buy us or anyone else and then buy the title then there is ways and means to do so.

No idea how it works tbh, does FFP cover training ground/stadium investment etc ? If so anything stopping us leasing such facilities from "another" company?

 

Or is it centered around transfers/wages

 

Infrastructure is outside all FFP calculations..

Well that's a fair sized loop hole, but a welcome one  :lol:

 

I'm sure the city football group has been set-up to get around loopholes in the future.

There are so many ways around it but, ultimately, you've got a sporting institution trying to regulate or control high commerce. Never going to work.

 

Big business has more muscle, more haste, more invention and more drive to succeed than a slow regulator so it's completely one-sided.

Loophole..? No one could afford to build a stadium if they had to earn that money in advance.

The big "loophole" is of course sponsorships.. Let us assume that Sheikh Mo from the Maktoum family wants NUFC, given that he controls Emirates Airways that sponsor Arsenal to the tune of £30m p.a we might expect something similar for NUFC at a guess.
