I'll always go back to the same when it comes to owner-related sponsorships. Where were the Red 3 and Spurs plus the Premier League when they sat back and watched our commercial revenue drop from what was around 70-80% of what Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool made in 2007, to 30-50% by 2020? All while Mike Ashley was peddling his Sports Direct brand for a pittance. I bet they had no concerns about how we were being "anti-competitive".

 

I'd sooner see City take the PL to the cleaners and win another 20 titles in a row than see any of those cunts win it again.

Sorry, but how are we suddenly in breach of FFP? The prevailing line (from him as well as others) up to now has been that we were close to it but not quite over the line. What have we done to change that? Absolutely sick of FFP dominating every conversation when it comes to our future. Soul sucking rhetoric regurgitated by people who love the sound of their own voices.

I don’t believe we are. It gets clicks mind.

How would announcing a training kit sponsor (or any other sponsor for that matter) now help us with this seasons PSR calculation? Surely any income would either kick in next season when we're actually wearing the kit?

We don’t currently have one so I imagine the start date of the deal could be today.

I don’t know if we are, I’m just repeating what Waugh said in his article, which was we need to sell before the end of June to be compliant.

Yeah I get that, but lets say its £5m/season for three seasons. That's going to be 24/25, 25/26 and 26/27 isn't it, rather than including a season that finished weeks ago? How could we justify any of that £5m going on the accounts for 23/24?

Didn’t somebody better placed say it’s accrued daily?

I imagine it would be more and we could probably amortise it monthly, probably not enough on its own but every little helps.

Possibly but even then, the accounting period for 23/24 ends in 25 days. If we announced a £5m deal today, we'd have about £400k of it.

I believe you can drag future funding around as you see fit in terms of FFP, can't you? i.e. front load a chunk of it into this year that's just finishing. Like a reversal of writing off a player's outstanding value as a loss even though they've got two years left on their contract.

I've half wondered if that might be a solution to this whole situation for various clubs. To open room for a Norwich or whoever to be more than target practice.

Cant see us paying Hendrick to fuck off if we had FFP issues for this season

Eh, I thought his contract was up? We didn’t pay him off if so.

Club website design has just been changed by the looks of it. 

 

It has, it looks crap tbh.  The footer with the moving gif is like Geocities in the 90's.

I think it looks good. An improvement on previous.

 

Official supporters clubs coming too. Finally joining the 21st century
