A fair few of those would command big money. This PSR is fucking shit. Any prospective owner should put down a deposit of the clubs value in a holding account, then buy the club at the same value. If said owners fuck the club over, then they forfeit their deposit. Something needs to be done because clubs are being completely stifled (all on purpose, ofc).

That's a 250 million net spend - how on earth is that remotely possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The bids for Guehi look even more mad with the benefit of hindsight. I think I read our final one was £55 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative system would be, any clubs objecting to us spending money on a player, put it in writing, then they all contribute funds equal to that amount to the PL coffers so the money we would have put in isn't lost to the game, and that way it keeps getting circulated in a healthy manner. Obviously we would need to be compensated for the player we have lost so maybe they should double their contributions so we can get reimbursed as well for our losses.

SUPERTOON Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Out of interest, why would we suddenly have more chance of signings come summer, wouldn’t our financial situation be pretty much the same, minus some savings on wages for those leaving on a free ?

Because between May and end of June some clubs will probably be in the shit regarding PSR and we might be able to take advantage. Southampton will be relegated by then so players like Dibling might be cheaper also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, rebelrouser said: We were making serious bids for Guehi with no PSR room, which would have caused us to sell a starter like Gordon, Bruno, or even Isak? Why would we have traded a starter for a RCB backup (albeit the future at the position)? Doesn't really make sense. Because it’s not a like for like swap in the monetary sense. We bring in a Guehi-priced player and have to sell a purple for big money, but the rub is that the purple sale opens us up for at least another player in that 50+ bracket too (along with the Geuhi-priced player).

cubaricho Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, RobsonsWonderland said: I do wonder if the last big investment on the stadiums name is subject to the planning delay or because of the noise created when Ashley did it with Sports direct. It's a whole different world now due to FFp but if it allowed us PSR transfer funds how much would you sell your sole for? I would imagine that the naming rights were fucked by Ashley naming the stadium Sports Direct Arena or whatever the fuck it was but not because of the noise it made but more likely because of the noise it didn’t make. Everyone just called it St James Park still. Why is someone going to throw a fuckload of cash at naming a stadium and your company name won’t even be used? I’d imagine it’s another reason we’re getting a new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason is we enter into a new PSR window on 1 June for the year 25/26 and we lose the 22/23 window entirely where we spent big on Isak, Botman etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that we’ll not be signing anyone of significance until summer 2026. Going off what Eddie says. People say he lies but he’s been very consistent with this message. He hasn’t given that date specifically but has said “things should look very different for us (on the positive side) after this summer”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I still retain a deep level of calm post takeover. Doesn't mean I dont get pissed off to the hilt but I think I have that inner peace that even if things go shit we shouldn't get relegated and their is next year and the year after. Not sure that's a great attitude to have Got into but we are still inevitable imo. It's just a slow build. I'd rather we were moving quicker. I expect PIF and everyone associated with the club feels the same. I think we will take the time to do it by the book as best we can and smartly. We have great minds and great backing. I'm still enjoying the ride without that shite Ashley dread that the club is dying and might go under. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyUtd Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It's season 2035/36 and Newcastle's Eddie Howe is confident the club will be able to spend in the summer transfer window. " Since we first bought Sandro Tonali we've been seriously restricted by the top 6, I mean PSR rules. Selling him back to Milan, via his short stint at Man City, and now buying him back again has meant our current budget isn't as big as we hoped. We'd love to bring in a right winger but might have to stick with Fabian Schar who has been a revelation since I first played him there 5 years ago" Newcastle's hunt for their first major trophy in a hundred years goes on.
