I believe that FMV changed from the clubs having to prove deals are fair market value, to it now being the PL having to prove they aren’t

It would have passed anyway. Plus they did get a concession which is the higher limit for clubs not in Europe. 

 

Lose lose situation 

Interest payments on infrastructure loans are not included in SCR.

We can finance the cost of our new stadium without it hitting us.

In a shock development, the club have also sold the St James' Park lease for £172.1m to a subsidiary company controlled by the ownership

 

 

 

Sounds cheap :pokerface:

What a fucking mess football is in 

To protect the "established" top clubs across Europe they have thrown the game under the bus.

I wonder if the PL ever stop to reflect that it was the big spending of Chelsea and Man City which propelled English football to the top of the pile in the first place? Yes it was always popular, but then so was Italian football and Spanish when they had all the money. 


I’ve said many times, if the PL was a single entity with an overall strategy it would never want to limit the clubs like this. It’s only because it’s a member’s club that it’s effectively voting to keep investment and excitement out of its own product. It’s crazy really.

Even with the current status, it’s amazing that they don’t.

How they have been able to look at the NFL teams over the last 20 years and let them take all the money for TV rights, have massive stadiums for clubs, and sponsorships and say that only 6 clubs can have that in the Premier League as they claims it’s the best league in sports is beyond me.

We should be in a position right now where TV rights alone are high enough for every Premier League club to have a minimum income of £400m per year.

Honestly don't believe were in any "shit" aside from the cultish "rules" were bound by apparently 

Maybe not in the shit as such, but we didn't buy any players really in this period so it wasn't just a case of lets spend £200m on players because we know we can sell a stadium for the same amount. This is obviously more because of the amortisation of players purchased in earlier periods. The whole thing is very frustrating and as mentioned by someone else; it was much more enjoyable when finance didn't come into it so much!

Didn’t the government have something in their manifesto about introducing some independent government post to regulate football and the PL. 

 

I know they have bigger fish to fry, but there is a dedicated sport and culture MP and department who isn’t being distracted by wars, nhs and economic oblivion.

Would this mean any future stadium build would be switched to the “new owners” not the club itself ?

No. It’s important to note that the SCR rules means that infrastructure costs are not calculated, that works both ways in terms of interest on loans for it, and revenue from sale/lease of it.

 

For UEFA we would end up with more than a fine if we used this method again to earn money. We and Aston Villa have only got away with it because the president had been set by Chelsea and Barcelona before us. A further break of this rule would mean that we get more than a monetary fine, unless of course one of those clubs repeatedly broke the rules before us and got away with it.

It’s been introduced, but it has as much teeth as the FA did in anyway.

I think the PL would prefer to keep the two-tier league - with the marketable, breakaway clubs remaining at the top and keeping global e-fans happy, and the chasing pack allowed to only occasionally spoil the party. Like you say, at least 10 of the PL clubs are also happy with this status quo.

In the news that was announced today, I found it bizarre that, under UEFA rules, selling players to Saudi Arabia are not included in our balance sheet as it's a related party transfer. 

 

Q: Do UEFA rules on associated-party player sales stop you doing business with Saudi clubs?

 

CAPPER: It doesn't stop us doing business. What it means is if we make a profit, it doesn't count. We sell a player that's worth a pound for £10million and make a profit of £9.999million in the Premier League but make a profit of zero in UEFA. We just don't get a profit.
