Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

[JLW]

God I hate these more than I realised!

 

[Walken]

Well if it works for them and not for us then I hope we have Lionel Hutz on the case ASAP

They have national diplomats on a government level making their case, we on the other hand are just the right size as a sacrificial lamb

Oh dear. Joelinton out for 6 weeks. Right when they needed to sell to buy and Bruno being the most likely candidate, they lose another midfielder.

I realise nothing has happened one way or the other yet but I just became irrationally angry reading this post and seeing their losses are greater than ours because you just know the outcome

They aren't though. We lost £378m over a 3 year period, we just tried to explain away £19 million more than we should have done.

I find it hilarious how all I'm seeing now is 'prominent' NUFC fans online lambast the current state of FFP when that had been us for a few years already and they took the piss out of us for it lol

Suck it, Geordies..

Apparently their games are being moved because the TV companies know they always fill their away end, so take advantage. Never heard that one before!

Most fans are loyal. You ain't special.

The superiority complex is off the charts. Can't be that many PL teams that don't sell out their away ends these days.

Where have you got that from? Isn’t the threshold £105m and we were trying to explain away £19m? What’s this £378m number?

Newcastle may have to sell key player in summer after £73.4m loss

Newcastle accept they may have to sell one of their key players this summer as they strive to remain on the right side of the Premier League’s regulations

www.theguardian.com

"Although the club’s latest accounts revealed a loss of £155m over the past three seasons – ostensibly in excess of the £105m PSR limit – it is understood that money invested in the women’s team, charity foundation and academy can be removed from the deficit, leaving Newcastle on the right side of the law."

Translation: We'll find any excuse to let them off because they're more important to the "brand" than other clubs

Excellent news, another thing we can use against them in the appeal.

We lost £378 million in a 3 year period. We asked for COVID considerations, spending on youth and women's teams and spending on the stadium to be taken into consideration. We tried to claim interest payments on an interest free loan from Moshiri which was where we fell foul of the £19 million overspend.

Dunno why Newcastle don’t just spend anyways. Establish themselves at the top then deny everything.

This is the exact defence we tried, except we had a better case (the new ground).

They removed all those listed things on our accounts.

We werent treated any differently.

I think a large portion of our fanbase actually thing we didnt break any rules and are being punished unfairly, that is not the case, we admitted all our guilt.

The City way!

Why not just spend 1 billion, build a Globetrotters team, take the points deduction and still win the league.
