Rafalove Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Tbh, it would be good for the game to bring in some regulation that drastically alters the game. Just not this. We need 50 plus one and spending cap regulations which allows more competition through out the leagues. It should be the case that a well run club should be able to compete for the league with in a few years. Obviously this happened with Leicester but we all know that was an anomaly, equally clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool plus who ever else should be just as likely candidates for the drop.

Unbelievable Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I still hold out hope that we will be able to compete by the club finally being run competently and ambitiously rather than by outspending everybody else. Those so-called big 6 will all remember what this club is capable of when it gathers steam and it's pathetic that they are absolutely bricking it already before even a single pound has been spent in anger. Oh how they loved having a sleeping giant being kept sedated by the fat mess that owned us before and not have to worry about us challenging for "their" CL places. Our starting position is that of a club with a shit manager, shit facilities, shit players, etc. so realistically what have they even got to fear? It will be years before we are anywhere near their level and it's not like most of them are scrapped for cash anyway. They are light years ahead of us, but clearly they're already panicking at the prospect of having to compete against us again. Personally all I wish for is that we start moving in the right direction with good appointments and clever player recruitment and build ourselves up gradually to reach our undoubted potential and ensure we can stay there under our own steam eventually.

Leicester are always mentioned as an anomaly, but what other club(s) have actually given it a real go in the way that their owners have? Just maybe it is paralysis in the remainder of the league that prevents another Leicester rather than Leicester being the weird case. In saying that, I get that their league win was a bit of a fluke with everything falling into place both internally and with other clubs that season but they are competing for top 4 and/or cups regularly now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejeck Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just reading there that USM have already paid Everton a £30m deposit for the naming rights of the new stadium, which would fly in the face of what they're all trying to do here. Nothing more than a disruption technique by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 By restricting our short term ability to generate sponsorship "the enemy clubs" clearly want us to be relegated, then they will do their utmost to ensure we are never allowed back into the EPL on promotion!!!

I think it’s more just trouble making, considering we can basically spend as much as we want in January due to our current financial position regardless of sponsorship.

cosmic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Just sell Joelinton for 100M quid to Saudi Clubs. He gets a comfy life and set for life. Shelvey will do well there with his camel pace. Repeat every season or whenever funds are required. This is like money laundering in art work. Value is in eyes of beholder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) In news today, Al Hilal has acquired Joelinton, Shelvey, Hendrick, Gayle, Ritchie, Clark, Dummett, Murphy, and Krafth for 350 million and paid the transfer fees up front. Newcastle now have potentially 550 million to spend in January. Should be an exciting Transfer window … good morning again from Sky Sports, its January 2nd, 2022 Edited October 19, 2021 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, can see Daniel Jowell getting a phone call again soon if this rule is put in place indefinitely. Absolutely no chance this gets the go ahead but with all clubs already sponsored by their owners business' alright to carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It's dumb. Tbey're stopping themselves too from futute investments. Imagine if one of the big 6 has a billioniare ready to buy them.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I can't see how this is legal at all. Members of a sporting membership organisation can vote to prevent potential future investment coming in to one of their members, after they have already benefitted from it themselves? Not for me like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me like. I doubt a competition law judge would even entertain it for a minute if it came before them. Can anyone imagine such a thing happening in any other field of business? The EU for example would be slapping million euro fines left, right and center. In fact, I would love it if the club went after those 18 clubs hard in court. They wouldn't stand a chance defending this decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
