the fuck are you talking about?  there's been some temporary shit put in place cause they've shat themselves, the actual rules haven't been decided on yet and nufc will be part of drawing them up

 

 

 

 

No need to get aggressive, I'm talking about the current rules about related party sponsorships have been in place for years:

 

A.1.163. “Related Party Transaction” means a transaction disclosed in a Club’s Annual Accounts as a related party transaction or which would have been disclosed as such except for an exemption under the accounting standards under which the Annual Accounts were prepared;

 

Pursuant to Rules E.18 to E.20, the Board may require further information from the Club including (but not limited to):

 

a) confirmation that Club Own Revenue Uplift has been calculated on a like-for-like basis; and

b) satisfactory evidence that revenue included within the calculation of Club Own Revenue Uplift has not been artificially inflated.

 

In addition, the Board may adjust a Club Own Revenue Uplift by assessing any revenue within it from Related Party Transactions to Fair Market Value. As set out in the definition of Club Own Revenue Uplift (Rule A.1.33), the Board must give the Club the opportunity to make submissions before it does so.

But how would they argue if, for example, we get in Ten Hag and Overmars, spend 100million in January, because of links with Saudi Arabia become the biggest club in the Middle east and start building a larger following in the far East.......how much are we allowed to be sponsored for then ?

I'm not concerned about us getting around it, I'm sure we will one way or another whatever they do. My point is more about clubs outside of the big six voting in favour of rules that are basically designed to stop them from ever bridging the financial gap to the big 6.

Oh right, see your point. Could it be  more to stop others escaping their mini league to the top mini league possibly ? Though as you say there always seems to be ways round it.

There will be ways around it for us, we've got the power and wealth of a nation ruled by an absolute monarchy behind us, they'll be able to get unconnected Saudi companies to sponsor us with no paper trail. That's not the case for other clubs owned by rich individuals. I think the clubs outside of the big six are just focussed on being overtaken by us, but they can't see the wood for the trees that the FFP rules as they are only really benefit the big six.

Would be continuing on engagement and communication if they can come out to assure the fans about any managerial progress (without specific names or confidential stuff of course). Been absolutely quiet this week.

Teams may as well just have banners that say:

 

”No to Saudi investment, unless it’s in us”. 

 

Because that’s pretty much all it is :lol: 


I think the banners were referencing football matters, at least that's my understanding. Don't think Middlesborough fans or, the club itself for that matter, has anything to do with this investment, but I might be wrong.

Newcastle United's new owners have been forced to keep Sports Direct signage up inside St James’ Park due to legal clauses inserted by former owner Mike Ashley ahead of the club’s sale.

The clauses mean the new Saudi owners have not be able to remove the ads but after the takeover led by British businesswoman Amanda Staveley (below) hopes remain they will come down in the ‘short-term’.

They were still evident during yesterday’s match against Chelsea. The sponsorship agreement between Ashley’s sports retailer and Newcastle United runs to the end of the season.

With Bruce's new contract, a team facing relegation and the sports direct signs, I'm amazed PIF didn't just tell him to fuck off. Lucky for us they didn't mind.

I know what you mean, it’s even more amazing when you think that they waited the best part of two years as well. But it fills me with confidence that they’re here for the long term and know they have to deal with all this shit left behind right now to see progress in the future

Despite dominating the stadium, the club received the equivalent of £157,500-a-year from Sports Direct under Ashley.

Lets not forget we're finally rid of the man.  Robbed the club of income and just let it rot.

Should probably put a statement out just to give the fans an update on the process, even if there's not really much to report on. We all now how important communication is, after suffering from such Aa lack of it for 15 years.

Been holding off because didn’t want to come across as impatient but I’ve been a tad disappointed with the communication so far across the board. Probably my expectations are too high and 100% they’ll be getting things in place and I’m sure it’ll improve, but aye, was maybe just expecting a little more.

Personally I don't like the constant leaks - it has to be coming from the consortium as it has been referenced by local journalists they've got wind of information before it has happened. Craig Hope mentioned this on a recent podcast, Caulkin had the first interview after the failed takeover and Keith Downie mentioned this before his 24 hour stint. I can understand after years of zero communication trying to get the local media onside in what should be a brilliant time, but I think the consortium are not above criticism. 

 

I'm glad they haven't rushed into an appointment, but they were clearly looking at replacing Bruce as soon as it was confirmed and the process has spectacularly backfired in the early hours. I think the most important appointment moving forward will be a CEO that understands the game and a Director of Football to focus on that aspect of the club.
