Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

Speaking of info, does anyone know the actual figure that we could potentially spend in January and not fall foul of the financial fair play rules? I've been seeing all sorts of random amounts being thrown out by the media.

I think your first time falling foul you get a "warning" anyway, so we might as well go balls to the wall.

 

Worst case you get banned from the CL/EL for a season, and it's unlikely we'd qualify this season anyway even if we splurged £200 million in January.

Haven't Man Citeh and PSG proved that if you have money the rules can be shimmied round ?

I don't really see why we'd need to anyway.  You're allowed £150m losses over three years iirc and two out of the last three years we've made a profit.  Even calling that profit zero and assuming a loss of £30m last season we should still have north of £100m to play with. 

 

Getting rid of FMA's stupid plan of paying everything up front will be like have an extra £50m in the kitty anyway (like a new signing, Jeff).

I imagine Mike Ashley's valuation of a relegated NUFC would be more than anyone would be willing to pay. He doesn't seem happy with a £300m (which is a profit on the £250m he's supposedly put in) valuation. He'd be offered half that for a Champion club. He'd probably prefer to bankroll the team in the Championship under the assumption that NUFC would be promoted again. He does like to gamble like that. If we got promoted again he'd be straight back to wanting an unrealistic fee for the club while not being willing to invest in the squad.

Spot on. He'll no doubt think promotion is very easy as well, based on the last two times.

I don’t think he’s got the stomach for another relegation, personally. He was squirming when he spoke about it with his mate on Sky.

Needs to stop being such a massive cunt in that case, and pretty quickly.

Relax lads. There'll be an announcement in the next few days, money to spend in January and everything will be sweet as a nut.

 

Just have a mince pie and a pint and stop carrying on like a bunch of fannys.

Personally, I don't think it'll happen now. I think PCP will sit back til the end of the season, and maybe pick us up for half the price.

Would be very surprised if they bought us in our current precarious situation.

 

Depends on whether they think they can keep us in the Premier by spending big in January. Looking at the fixtures they might have some doubts now, three of our biggest games against relegation rivals are going to come before the transfer window can be used. No guarantees we will be able to sign really high quality players anyway.
