Good thread on the new football financials coming into play.

Infrastructure costs now counting towards “FFP” seems like a kick in the teeth

Yeah, this. Just a cartel at this point. Kills any hope of a non-established team becoming a big player.

Good for the top clubs that already have state of the art setups. If it was difficult for other clubs to compete with the big clubs for players before,  then it will be even more difficult now. Wheelie bins it is for the rest of the future then.

Very interesting. Potentially good news for us I think, especially the part where a lot of clubs will have to squeeze their wages down to 70% of revenue and further allowances for owner covered equity investment.

Yep, can’t create a Super League but this will ensure the CL is as good as being a closed shop as you can get.

 

this. it's an absolute joke. 

 

what is funny, is that when we finally break into the top 4 through fantastic signings (bruno, 81m back 5, Eddie Howe, DOF, CEO etc) we will get the "how could they not with the money they have?!"

 

Just like the media couldn't fail to mention we spent 80M in January to jump from 19th to mid-table....

If they’re including infrastructure, this is going to shaft us going forward? Talk about constantly moving the goalposts. It’s all fine for those clubs who’ve already invested heavily in new training grounds of course.
I can only assume Everton will be in dire straits, with the huge cost of their new stadium.

Hopefully they go down this season.

Something needs to be done about runaway fees for players and see if any of this does help, but of course it is watered down and engineered to make sure the likes of us can't spend. It's rather telling that in all reforms of clubs to make sure they don't go under from overspending, not one proposal ever has something about requiring clubs to have some responsibility to their fans, such a spot on the board for fan representation at the very least.

We will be fine, it will slow things down no doubt but I imagine there is a lot of low hanging fruit to get added revenue into the club to balance the books, years of neglect under ashley means it's not like our earnings potential had previously been maxed out

‘However, it is worth noting that certain expenses that could previously be excluded from the FFP calculation can no longer be deducted. This covers money spent on youth football, infrastructure, community and women’s football.’

 

Yep, this is a bit of a blow
