You never really “pull out” of these deals. There’s a number we want and a number they would happily pay. The rest is just negotiation.

But can any of these teams pay it this week? Because I don’t honestly believe our PSR position was completely solved by Dobbin alone.

I'm pretty sure Newcastle will want the 40 in their bank mate
Not on day one and only an issue for cash

They couldn’t care less they have all the money in the world. They just need it in the accounts.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
We maintained that before right up to the point that we admitted we weren't in the middle of proceedings against us.
I have no idea what the books look like but they've thought we were fine before and we clearly weren't. I think we can be forgiven for feeling a little bit concerned.
Even Bill Kenwright understood the rules way back. There was a quote (which I will get wrong) something like “you do not need 20 million to buy a 20 million player”

I had never even heard of Minteh just a few days ago so I can hardly be disappointed that we are not signing a player I had never heard of or seen play.
However, he certainly has the right profile for the type of player we should be signing but 30m-40m for a player who cost 6m 12 months ago and had a good season in Holland is silly money.
If Newcastle genuinely thought he was going to be a superstar they would fight to keep him as we are doing with Branthwaite imo.
I wonder how serious our interest ever was, certainly at the price being mentioned.
If we sell DCL, and that now looks likely, we will need all of that to replace himadequately.
We know we tried to sign Ndiaye before and I certainly could see us try to sign him again, but have we the money to do so?
We also know we tried very hard to sign Gnonto and it would be reasonable to expect we will try , but again where will the funds come from ?
I hope it isn't Branthwaite but instead maybe Onana, DCL, Maupay and maybe Godfrey.

A club like Lyon can amortisise £40million over 5 years, yes. But doesn't mean a selling club doesn't require a chunk of the fee upfront.
25 upfront. 15 spread over 5 years.
I don't think any team accepts 40 million on drip for 5 years or longer.
Newcastle don’t have a cash problem. Like none whatsoever.
They do have a PSR problem though. Which means they need to balance the books by the end of the month.
Their owners probably couldn’t give a toss if they ever see a penny of the £40m, as long as it shows on this years accounts.
Cash is not newcastles problem. Spreading it over 5 years is only a credit risk issue really (assuming you are well run). The credit risk is protected by things like point deductions for not paying (see Leeds in a minute) and going into administration.

Yeah I get they have a bottomless pit of cash. But it's complete fantasy to think any serious entity, business or sovereign state are willing to accept bids via Klarna.
They will still want cashflow and to be run legitimate. They don't just get the state credit card out for transfers.
