Just watched the main event and saw them. That’s a mad 4some, Trump, Musk, Yassir and Kid Rock. Is there a glitch in the World at the moment?! 

Aye, the US president, owner of Twitter/luncatic who sends rockets to space, Kid Rock and the chairman of Newcastle United. Someone definitely killed a fish or windmilled a butterfly somewhere.

PIF funded Musk’s Twitter takeover.

 

Can’t say it makes me any less comfortable than I was before - Trump is an authoritarian at minimum, and a fascist at worst, and Musk’s cunt bone fides are an open book.

For the record, issuing new shares is!’t allowed from a PSR perspective. You are allowed to do it, but it doesn’t count towards your income. So if this is for January, then it would mean that we are allowed to spend another £35m that the club doesn’t currently have.

It could be used for anything else non-football related.

It'll be for liqudity/cashflow purposes. It has no impact at all on PSR headroom or calculations. You can issue new share capital whenever you want, PSR does not prohibit this.

Is it not just the standard allowable annual injection of cash from owners? It’s £105M over a three year period IIRC, so £35M a year.

Don't think so. The 105m/3 year rolling is allowable losses.


I thought owners are allowed to provide that same level of secure funding over three years, by way of equity injection, etc.

Just had a quick look, and it’s £90M of owner-injected funding allowed over three years:

 

‘Premier League clubs can...

 

Make 'allowable' losses of up to £5m/season (averaged over three seasons)

 

Increase that figure to £35m/year with owner investment (averaged over three seasons)’

This is why squad cost terrifies me btw. Especially if the owner investment component is removed.

They’re accounting losses - it doesn’t necessarily mean that the club is only running up a £35m deficit in a season.  The injection is likely to cover salaries etc.

It's a big gap though, £430m vs. £105m covering allowable of losses in the three years since the takeover. Maybe part of it was clearing the loan that transferred from Ashley? But that's still a big difference. It would be interesting to understand how the difference is accounted for because I doubt our infrastructure, women's team and youth spending is anywhere near that.

Presumably at least part of it will be our favourite word - amortisation.

 

eg. Isak cost £63m, I'm not sure how much of that was paid up-front but assuming all/most of it then we'd need £63m cash but only £12.6m would be on the years accounts. There's £50m straight away. Gordon I'm fairly sure was £45m cash because Everton needed the money so that's £45m versus £10-15m on the accounts.

Cash =/= Accounting loss

 

They can put in as much cash as they like, but only £90m over 3 years can go down as a loss on the P&L

 

They can still invest in capital projects (ie stadium expansion) and women’s team etc as much as they like.

Aye, understand all that, I was speaking purely about what’s allowable from an accounting perspective under PSR. Should’ve been clearer.

 

People had said issuing shares isn’t allowed under PSR and that this is totally unrelated to PSR, when we need to be issuing £90M’s worth every three years purely for PSR reasons at the moment.

Interesting part below, would love them to take over the new arena development which appears to have run into trouble, could be a real earner for club like the Co-Op arena in Manchester and make the development even more ambitious.

 

Investment in Newcastle (the city) to follow?

There were also little indicators, which were not fleshed out, that further infrastructure projects, inside the club and around the city, might be announced soon.

Miller explained that his role overseeing infrastructure investments involves the stadium, the training ground, the academy and “our future plans”. He did not directly reference a new training ground, but plans to recalibrate the present site are being explored, and the long-proposed idea is that Newcastle will build a state-of-the-art facility elsewhere.

Capper, meanwhile, was asked whether infrastructure spending is exempt from PSR calculations. He replied that it was complicated, but “it’s mostly outside”.

He continued: “This (STACK) is an example of the type of thing we’re looking at across the business in terms of investing capital to generate more revenue from the club going forward. We’ve got some exciting pipeline ideas. A lot of them are not quite ready to share, but they are bubbling under. And hopefully, over the next few months, we’ll be revealing a bit more about how we grow the revenue by investing in Newcastle and this club.”

The implication is that Newcastle are looking at investing beyond the footprint of the stadium and into the wider city.
