Also, it’s the express. Not to be taken seriously. 


Think they’ve pulled it from Gazetta dello Sport.

Remember FFP lads, I'm sure it will get forced down our throat at every opportunity this summer 

 

What better way to evidence our frugality than to target some handy free agents? :snod:

Does that mean we can go as wild as we like?

 

Yes and no. It means that clubs can't spend more than 70% of their income, including wages, on transfers. However there'll be a 3 year transitional period, first 90%, then 80%. Clubs that can inflate their revenues or dilute the dodginess on their balance sheets a la Man City with sponsorships then obviously 90, 80 and 70% of their income is going to be far higher than clubs outside the big 6 and outside the PL. We'll be okay once we can get the sponsorships in, assuming that the 'fair market value' shite doesn't wash anymore or expired. If it's still in place, who knows but either way it's going to be some summer. Once we get into Europe (mainly the CL) our revenues will be incredibly big compared to what they were or are now. Last season's figures have us 28th and that's with no Europe, crowds and Ashley imposed austerity.

Shows how badly we were ran when the likes of Leeds and Southampton are above us. Leeds were out of the PL for fucking years.

Plenty saying this helps close the shop for the top current teams and makes it harder for us


Depends on the amount of and level of sponsorship deals coming in. We basically are starting with a new book on this.

I bet that Tarik Panja (Liverpool fan) and Alastair McGowan (Manchester United) love this


Panja doesn't seem to happy looking at that tweet. He specifically mentions his cynacism that fair market sponsorship deals will be seen (it's anti-competitive anyway but that's another argument). Maybe a certain club entering the arena with massive sponsorship opportunities on the horizon may add to the cynicism.

Said it for years, and it's what pissed me off so much about Pardew - never reveal your hand. Pards would be inviting offers post-match for our best players ffs.


Exactly. Hardly gonna say “aye we’ve got £500m to spend” are we :lol:

Don't know why the media try to guess transfer budgets tbh. Remember when it was suggested we wouldn't be looking to spend much in January?

 

 


He said we would only spend 50 million tops in January. I know one thing for certain, is that he will have fuck all contacts with the owners.

We are already spending 15M on Targett, so we will only spend 35M improving on what we already have? :lol: I somehow doubt that.

And supposedly still want Botman which will be around 30 million ?
