Keegans Export Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Key line in the latest Mark Douglas article (which is about SCR and our support of it) Quote And on the bigger ticket stuff like the stadium and training ground, there is more freedom around how they finance such projects. Previously, any interest payments from loans taken out to pay for the stadium would have counted towards their running PSR total. So, because SCR is just based on the ratio between football-related income versus football-related costs, expenditure on the stadium whether in the form of owner investment or loan has no impact. Under PSR, any interest paid on a loan would count towards the limit on losses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Latest from Edwards… Quote Newcastle United are looking at a major regeneration project as part of a plan to build a new stadium next to St James’ Park. Telegraph Sport understands the club is getting closer to deciding whether to rebuild their current home or move into a new stadium with a capacity that could rise as high as 68,000 on part of Leazes Park. After months of planning and assessment, the club could make a decision before the end of the year as they explore different ways to finance an ambitious infrastructure project that would radically modernise the city centre. Sources have described the regeneration as “bold and exciting,” which would drastically improve the city as a whole. It is understood the club has held conversations with the government about securing public money to help finance the regeneration of the surrounding area, although it has been made clear that money would not be used to construct the new stadium. The club will also contribute a large chunk of the financing needed for the wider city regeneration, although there is optimism that public money could be put forward to boost those plans. A case is being made that this would be a fantastic opportunity for a Labour government to modernise a city in its traditional heartland that has suffered from underinvestment compared with other major urban centres. Although the new stadium is the most important part of the plan for supporters, it would merely be part of a massive redevelopment that would draw a wave of private investment into the city. The idea is not only to construct a new stadium – likely the third-largest in England behind Wembley and Old Trafford – but also to reconstruct the surrounding area with new retail, leisure and business buildings, as well as affordable housing and apartments. The city’s transport infrastructure would also be overhauled and improved. Newcastle is majority owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and it would finance a large part of the project, but money would also need to be raised from other investors and lenders. The cost of a new stadium, which Newcastle will cover entirely, would exceed £1bn, but even more money would be needed to finance the wider regeneration of the city centre. Although a final design for the new stadium has not been drawn up, modelling has given the club an idea of what is achievable. Construction would take about three years once planning permission is obtained. Newcastle recently purchased the land to build a new £200m, state-of-the-art training ground at Woolsington, close to the city’s airport. This purchase brings the two major infrastructure projects promised when PIF took control of the club back in 2021 closer to completion. The building of a new stadium has dragged on for two years, but there is thought to be fresh impetus behind the project and a desire to go bigger and bolder in order to bring the maximum benefit to the city as a whole. Telegraph Sport revealed last year that a new green space will be created on the land currently occupied by St James’ Park to offset the loss of land on Leazes Park. The creation of new retail, business and leisure buildings is also expected to attract major national and international businesses to the city centre and potentially create thousands of new jobs. That has not stopped opposition to the proposal of building on Leazes Park, with the Save Newcastle Wildlife campaign group collecting thousands of signatures in protest at the idea of building on the Victorian green space, which is part of a larger conservation area. However, the group admits it does not actually know what it is opposing as the plans have not been made public. Multiple sources have pointed out that any major construction project is required to ensure there is a 10 per cent biodiversity gain under UK law. A new green space would form a key part of the project and only a fraction of Leazes Park would be lost to the new stadium. When contacted by Telegraph Sport Newcastle United insisted that they have not made a final decision on whether to build a new stadium or rebuild their current home. A spokesman declined to comment on the details of the wider regeneration proposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also plan do build new park and flats hotel on St James and where the stack is. We can then use these like Chelsea. As long as they haven’t found a way to close that loophole by then 😂 Here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
