Remember, these aren't the rules forever. We'll either figure out how to circumnavigate these rules or we'll see them change again. I highly doubt if they change they're going to be even more restrictive, given how close Villa & Chelsea are reported to be to joining Everton & Forest.

 

I could see a breakaway UK only Super League at some point if nothing changes from here.

 

This isn't being driven by the PL board, it's being driven by the 'big 6' (minus Man City) with the other clubs tagging along.

 

The PL board have accidentally been advising against some of the changes.

The adidas deal is a five-year one.  Fan zones and training ground sponsorships won’t put a dent in the quarter of a billion difference between us and Spurs.  I can guarantee that next season’s accounts, like this season’s when they’re produced, will not show anything close to the growth in 22/23. 
 

I’m not convinced that this is a clever game - the club needs a big state-of-the-art new stadium or I’d say we’re close to our ceiling at the moment, without something extraordinary being achieved on the pitch.  


I've already stated what I think is happening with the new stadium and that will obviously increase revenue massively. We're not going to get revenue levels of spurs within a couple of years, but then again I didn't mention them in my reply. I stated that revenue will continue to increase and that will happen. As for the owners playing cute, I disagree with you and I think this is the case even with regards to a new stadium.

I know you didn’t mention Spurs; it is more that Spurs have been seen as the lesser of the Sky Six - so overtaking them would be the first battle to win.

 

I don’t KSA ever does ‘cute’.  It does overconfident statements and financial waste.

I was on about the non-top 6 clubs. Out of them you have us, and Villa who want to kick on. You have Everton, and Forest currently under investigation and facing a points deduction for spending money to compete at their respective levels. You also have Leicester coming up who also face sanctions. You then have Palace who can’t build their new stand that they have been trying to buy land for over the past 5 years or more, and have only just bought.

 

There is also a growing discontent with Masters over the TV deals not being as high as they would expect, as well as losing iconic sponsors such as Nike.

19 of the 20 clubs just supported the changes being put through.  They’re not exactly queueing up to knock it on the head - probably because it suits most of them down to the ground.

Of course it is, if you look at the owners of the clubs they are the most ardent capitalist in the world, but they adopt socialist structures such as parachute payments and solidarity payments it’s all rather bizarre but at its core as you mention is absolute self interest. 
 

Again, what FFP is when you strip it back is cost control and the more you control your cost the more profit you make, sadly for the owners they are also extremely egotistical so these rules create a brake and help them all control costs. 
 

Ultimately they all want to make money. 

All capitalists are socialists when it comes to bail-outs … ;)

Time will tell and I'll be the first to post if you're ultimately right. It might take another year, but I think we will get a clearer guide on the path the club are following (especially in regards to the stadium). I also think it's only a matter of time before a legal challenge is mounted. As I've said numerous times only time will tell who is right.

Aye, we’re both guessing really (not trying to be disrespectful in saying that; just that we don’t know what the owners think).

 

I hope you’re right, believe me - I’d be more than happy if you are

You mean the Chelsea with about to be two straight years of no CL football who we finished way ahead of last year and are competing with this year? I look forward to the benchmark for our next deal...

Fans: We need more commercial partners!

 

Club: Here's a new commercial partner :thup:

 

Fans: NOT THAT TYPE OF COMMERCIAL PARTNER!!!!11

 

Remember though, we only demand a club that tries......right lads?

Aye, but I mean I’m not interested in that stuff myself.

Unless I am missing something 

 

Ps - I have never heard of NFT’s 

 

So I could be totally wrong 

 

I just thought it was good as they are paying us money , and it’s irrelevant what the product is ?

 

Unless it’s a scam or something?

NFTs are a bit shite, very scammy and were big around 3 years ago. 
 

Revenue is revenue though

Just because we know we need more revenue it doesn't mean we can't scrutinise what does get agreed.

 

NFTs are invariably a load of shite and I can't envisage it's even a needle mover as far as revenue goes considering people already stopped giving a shit about them a few years ago.

what’s the issue with more income / another commercial partner ?

 

I have no interest in monster energy drinks but they are one of our sponsors ?

 

All adds to FFP ?

There is a common belief that you are paying for nothing. Despite what people think, you don’t gain ownership of anything, you just get your name put in an electronic ledger. It’s very similar to the name a star schemes you get. You don’t actually get to name a star.
