They don't, ownership of all HMRC buildings were moved to the private sector under PFI, about 15 years ago

 

I worked in the Estates team for HMRC, and all HMRC buildings (HMCE and IR, as they were then) were sold to Mapeley PLC in 2001 . . . except for the huge BPV site, they have never been owned by Mapeley they still remained Crown owned.

Ashleys loan was covered in the 305m buying price, once that deal was concluded he cut his ties.

Still needs getting rid of in the clubs accounts though doesn't it? Something has to come in somewhere to clear / replace it. Even if it's part of the 300m.

There's no new £77m and it has nothing to do with the loan. It's just a misunderstanding of what these filings mean, I think.

 

Newcastle United Football Club Limited (NUFCL) own Newcastle United Limited (NUL). 

 

They aren't two separate companies getting separate amounts of extra money. You put £38.5m into NUFCL, and then it flows down into NUL. Twitter just then double counted it and made it £77m.

 

That £38.5m was all to do with running costs, and it was something reported on a few weeks ago already. I might be wrong, and I certainly don't know the distance between Wrexham and Halifax so you're free to doubt me.

 

But it would otherwise be a bit of a coincidence that the consortium can only work in multiples of £38.5m.

 

All it is, is companies house filings catching up to stuff related to a few weeks ago. I reckon.

When does the temporary sponsorship ban thing come to an end? And do we think the league have something more permanent lined up for when it expires? I'm hoping our owners have all this in hand and are ready.

The end of this month I believe.

They can put a deal forward to the Premier League but apparently they have to agree that it is of the correct market value. I think Staveley was alluding to how she thought the Premier League may drag their heels in their assessment of it being fair market value to beyond a point where the league has voted in tougher sponsorship rules.

I'll find it hilarious if they bring in rules which stop ANY sponsorship from owners other business's so we just end up getting sponsored by some Saudi state company. Considering the flap the Premier league have made about having legally binding arguments that the PIF are separate from the Saudi state.

Or other wealthy gulf states step in with sponsorship.

I don't think that's how it works. The rules allow the PL to adjust the FFP calculation to reduce what is taken into account from related party transactions to fair market value. The club only has to submit accounts for FFP once per season.

 

The current situation is that the PL have temporarily banned all new related party transactions until 30th November.

Are we thinking after 30 November that sponsorship deals will be announced then with a full assessment undertaken when we submit the FFP accounting?

 

I think that's probably likely, unless the clubs meet before then to change the rules.

 

The current rules are:

 

E.46 The Board shall determine whether consideration included in the Club’s Earnings Before Tax arising from a Related Party Transaction is recorded in the Club’s Annual Accounts at a Fair Market Value. If it is not, the Board shall restate it to Fair Market Value.

 

E.47. The Board shall not exercise its power set out in Rule E.46 without first having given the Club reasonable opportunity to make submissions as to: E.47.1. whether the said consideration should be restated; and/or E.47.2. what constitutes its Fair Market Value.

And that opens the door to more legal proceedings.
