Nobody Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 For it to be remotely fair, it would have to be that no PL clubs can loan from a club that has related party ownership. Obviously that wont happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think this is a sensible rule change that should have been made a long time ago. It’s also pleasing that our takeover will have a positive affect on the premier league as a whole, rather than just Newcastle. People should be thanking us really, but their bitterness won’t allow it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 It's hard to say it's a bad thing from a neutral point of view. The loaning back and forth from sister teams in different leagues should have been clamped or restricted a long time ago tbh, the Watford/Udinese link has been ridiculous. It's the obvious timing that's laughable. If we only had 2 or 3 out inured then it wouldn't have even been mentioned let alone voted upon. It's just an obvious knee-jerk reaction to idle speculation - "bet they just loan a few from the Saudi league. Just watch, bet you they do".........and then 2 weeks later it's an actual thing and being voted on because of the paranoia it's triggered around the boardrooms of the (fucking petrified) PL. It is what it is, difficult to argue against and will probably happen. Not sure how it'll work like - Company A owns Team A and Team B. Can Team A loan to team B? Can team B loan to team A? Who decides who is team A and Team B? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I like our players and I like how we're doing business.

FloydianMag Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I might be way off the mark, but I think that a legal case has been prepared by the club. It’s odd that Dan Ashworth mentioned in an interview last week that there was nothing in the rules to prevent a loan from a Saudi club. Within a week a PL meeting has been convened to try and introduce a temporary ban on loans happening. It certainly demonstrates that there are clubs willing to do anything to hinder our progress.

madras Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I don't mind the loan rule in essence, or the FMV stuff. What's galling is that it's done mid season purely to try and stop us. Was the stopping of Chelseas tactic of 8yr contracts to stretch FFP done straight away ? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Why is it a temporary ban as well and not a permanent one? Blatantly being rushed through to stop us signing anyone from Saudi in January Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatantly being rushed through to stop us signing anyone from Saudi in January My original thought was that it is a temporary thing until they get some rules in place that say loans need to be at fair value. Although that has difficulty as fair value is impossible to assess, particularly with loans when it can be about reducing wage bills or getting people game time. I cannot imagine it would be legal to have a permanent restriction on two entities (connected or otherwise) entering into a transaction on a basis that could be proved to represent 'arms length' value.

I'd be quite happy to pay what Tonali is on per week for Neves based on the fact we wont be paying Tonali's wages. We could probably do with ASM back though, Neymar andFirminho would be good to bulk out the squad as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league (or, rather, the super League 6) have tried to impede us at every turn. We've won nothing and opposition fans are already acting the cunt. Fuck 'em all, do whatever is in our power to reinforce. Anything that may give Klopp/Arteta an aneurysm is a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 A lot of people are missing the point here.

If the rule change does go through what exactly do suggest we do. Any legal appeal would go on way past Jan anyway. Already mentioned it on the previous page, the most effective way of killing this is PIF making it clear that, if this passes, they won't be chucking anymore huge sums at clubs for the aging players they want off the books. This would fuck over Man U especially, as Saudi is the only hope they have of getting a big fee for Casemiro. Or potentially even Sancho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Whatever we do, however we climb the league, however long it takes, opposition fans will always say we bought/cheated our way there no matter the circumstances. So who cares about taking the path of least resistance? Let's find every and any loophole we can to cause maximum drama and fume, couldn't care less at this point.

We sue the league which is what we should have been doing from the start, since BEFORE our takeover the league has been creating rules which make the league less competitive to our detriment and we’ve just nodded along and played nice. What has that gotten us? More rules solely designed to slow our progress. How does not loaning players from related parties hurt any other team?
