Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability

[PRL]

The PL is absolutely fucked here. They’ve already been struggling with legal fees and now you have the possibility of some of the best legal teams in the corporate world chasing them for significant damages. All the while the teams on the other side of the coin undoubtedly threatening them if they start introducing interest on shareholder loans for PSR. 
 

interestingly, this will split the cartel clubs as Chelsea and Arsenal fucked while Mancs have got zero in loans.

That is an absolutely first class article from Samuel. Brilliantly written and expertly argued.

We are mentioned 15 times in the full decision. 

 

The speed at which things went into motion following the takeover is pretty incredible. 

I mean, I struggle to get most this malarkey but it seems to me the door has swung wide open for us to accuse the Premier League of anti-competitivity with regards to Newcastle United and an unfair and unjust system designed to prevent Newcastle especially from progressing into the upper echelons of the PL. The PL, of course, having bene lobbied by the existing members (as you'd expect). As a club we should really nail the PL and rival clubs now and "stick it to the man". Fuck the whole lot of them. Except Man City, who ironically we may now be able to compete with

“What it does mean is that these cannot be tailored to negate the growth of Newcastle United, City or any specific club.”

 

 

Lovely

Now there's a word I'll never be able to say after a few pints.

 

I think we have an opportunity as good as we'll ever have to go for the kill. In any normal organisation the person at the top of the pile would be waiting for his P45 right about now, problem is the PL is anything but a normal organisation.

Fuck this shit into the Sun. So sick of football being a legal playground. Something needs to change very very soon to make football less corrupt otherwise it will destroy itself 

Yep. Absolutely this. At what point did football become as much about the business and boardroom as the 11 on the pitch? Like as a fan, we're embroiled in this absolute shite instead of simply looking forward to the next midweek or Saturday game. Football itself has become too much, extra games, more extra games, more television, more money. The novelty of a midweek European game and a Saturday 3 o clock is long lost and we're all a cash cow being milked by the media.

 

Football requires adequate and uncorrupt governance and to be brought back in line.

 

That being said, let's spunk some money a wipe the floor with all the DCs that chained us back.

However ....the person at the top of the pile is just a stooge for the SKY6 clubs he has no power at all

Samuel reports that Man City were quite happy to release the ruling when it came out 14 days ago, but the PL took till now to agree.

Are we about to lift off? 

[Scoot]

Great news for us. Premier league claiming victory despite APT rules being deemed "unlawful". Idiots. 

 

[Ikon]

The irony from Goldbridge the loud screaming siren like cunt saying it would be “anti competitive” if rich owners could slash cash into their clubs  Yea it would be, but it’s anti competitive as it is now too. I don’t want us to spend 1bn a window. I want us to have the same possibility as the the “cartel”. 

[Stottie]

Does this mean #cans?

Level playing field is all. Is this why we've held off for training ground and kit sponsor. Newcastle now training @ Aramco!

Probably not, it probably just takes the rules back to where they were this time last year. Other than the interest free loan stuff.

Silverstone said they didnt want to be tied into deals when the landscape could look different a couple of years down the line. Hopefully he was referring to this.... 

[Vaj]

Am I the only one that feels like it will barely change anything for us? Just feel like we have had a few false hopes in the past few years that the rules are going to be relaxed for then nothing to happen. We also never seem to have the appetite to bring legal cases to the PL, hopefully that changes here because it is ridiculous how quickly they brought rules in to limit our growth.

Billy Hogan

Daniel Levy

 

Both have 10 letter names

 

[The College Dropout]

So FMV stays but the clubs don’t need to justify it.  This is a win but a smallish one. 
 

The loan thing is a bigger win imo. It sinks a number of clubs. I assume some general rules will be relaxed.

How does that make sense? If you don’t need to justify it, can’t you just inflate the deals? Genuine question btw as I am completely clueless with all this stuff.

The media knows how to blow it all up and make it seem 10 times more dramatic than what it really is..
