[54]

It was only two weeks ago the news about the Bein unblocking came out, what a whirlwind of a 2 weeks it's been.

 

Two weeks ago it was despair and apathy under Bruce and Ashley, now they're both gone and things are looking really positive. Mental

[nufcnick]

TBH, if the club was thinking about the main sponsor being Aramco or someone like that, now’s the time to draw up the paperwork and process it because the current ban is at best unlawful and at worst Illegal, which means they wouldn’t be able to punish us if we just went ahead and did it, once the lawyers tell them what they can and can’t do in the next 4 weeks that’s when it will be harder to get around

This really isn't a problem for us. We have £190m to spend on players plus can make a loss of what, £109m over 3 years? If we spend all that on players I'd a: die of bloodloss to my erect penis. B: Wed have a team attracting big deals on their own merit. Nufc has untapped potential. Ashley has held us back commercially, we'll grow quickly now and if we do things like expand the stadium and compete higher up we'll bring in enough funds naturally especially with £300m, this price paid for the club at our disposal w8th having to fix deals like others have.

Posted earlier mate but its interesting that theyre effectively saying FFP is useless.

 

Which we all know it is but i wonder a) what UEFA will make of this and b) if this would have happenned if the SL had gone ahead?

OK - removed -interesting to read Dan Roan on this, He's quickly back to promoting the "financial doping" agenda on the BBC Sport website quoting  "Professor" Simon Chadwick:  "This [rule] is intended to make sure you focus on generating revenues, controlling your costs and that "financial doping" doesn't take place. In other words, when owners are ploughing money into the club and that skews competition." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58920229
Hope your owners take on these cockroaches  and their hosts in the courts, Man City should have done it long ago.

[Guest reefatoon]

We should just go out and get our sponsors from Abu Dhabi and Man City can get theirs from Saudi. Sorted. Fuck the other 18 clubs reet up the arse.

It doesn’t really work like that, We could spend a lot for a few seasons before it begins to add up. For example we could spend £200m this season on 5 players and it would only cost the club £40m per season (+ wages) assuming those players signed 5 year contracts. The problem comes when we spend big for 2, 3 or 4 seasons because that £40m per season becomes £100m+ per season even when you've stopped spending. Which is why it’s imperative get in proper sponsors and grow our commercial revenue quickly.

Annoying TIFO podcast this week, chatted about what we need to improve, Bruce probably going etc. Then they randomly linked to a piece about oppression of LGBTQ people in Saudi, and said it was clearly linked to football. 
 

I’m as much in favour of educating yourself about Saudi Arabia as anyone, but it’s odd to link it every discussion about NUFC. They don’t do this with Russian oligarchs or Qatar when talking about Chelsea and Man City.

So who determines what is a fair amount for sponsorship?

 

What if we just started low with a related party, and every season bumped it up and quoted worldwide interest in the club alongside (fingers crossed) slow progression up the league means it's worth more?

 

Whilst the general idea is fine, because going from 4m per season to 100m seems bonkers. But commercially we have been stunted by Ashley and became a toxic brand. 

 

Under new ownership, we could essentially get a larger deal by the very fact he's not associated anymore.

 

Just feels flakey at best and reactionary.

[Abacus]

We're world news now. No problem with sponsorship at all.

It is, the sole goal is to knee cap us and prevent us from challenging. 
 

The pathetic fucks are shitting themselves. 

[wormy]

As others have said, none of our competitors gave a shit about a fair playing field when the club was being paid well under market value to plaster tat over every available surface.

 

Consider any future astronomical deals delayed recompense, you corrupt fucks.

[Pixelphish]

It feels so completely alien that I can actually look forward to match days again, after so many years. Absolutely incredible feeling. Honestly enough to make you emotional.

[LRD]

What happens if we break FFP rules anyway? Banned from European competition for a season (which we are unlikely to be in next season)? Transfer embargo for a season like Chelsea? Or a paltry fine?

 

Really nothing painful enough to stop us from breaking the bank for one season.

Because it’s us, we would probably get a points deduction

Pointless though as its harmless and doesn't really offend Arabs, it was making news here on the GCC and everyone was having a good laugh about it.

The club has woke up

[Miggys First Goal]

I think it would have died off sooner or later.  

[Kanj]

Communication, so refreshing. 

[KaKa]

Wow, that is really interesting. Surprised by that tbh.

[Dokko]

Think that's fair enough. Good comms, no blame.

[54]

Got to say, I do find this whole "communication" concept a little odd.

[Guest HTT II]

It’s also the club saying basically, they can’t now be blamed if people do, good comms and PR all-round!

It’s like years of domestic abuse, and your new partner asks “are you OK” got to get used to this care & consideration from the owners . I bloody love it ♥️

I was reading something in the paper this morning about some pressure group meeting with NUFC to discuss refraining from dressing as arabs. Surprised the club took any notice though, seems an infringement of civil liberties to me.
