Babylon Posted 6 March Share Posted 6 March 1 minute ago, ClaphamFox said: In the article in the Telegraph, Percy writes: “Last year they announced record losses of £92.5 million for the 2021-22 season, and it is understood that latest financial accounts are also likely to report a heavy deficit when they are announced this month.” And we could still be allowed a deficit under PSR. Remember there is a difference between financial accounts and PSR accounts. The accounts won't include the sale of Maddison for instance, they don't include all the allowable PSR losses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City and Newcastle both are owned by people who have literally infinite amounts of money, so what's even the point of sustainability rules for them? It also makes me wonder how long the likes of Villa, Wolves etc can go on for, and how on earth someone like Bournemouth can be fine given their fanbase size? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So strange to have 4 strikers on the books when Enzo never has more than 1 on the pitch at a time. Not only that but with Nacho in his last year we couldn't be sure if he would be here either. There were various reports about Palace and Brighton being interested. Everton needed a sale and if he'd gone elsewhere we were going to pay more for him further down the line. He's an investment going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are at the point of needing to sell Bruno and Trippier in June just to get back in the rules. Wolves did what we did last summer and bought no-one. The difference is they hired a manager who can work on a budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the idea of buying your way to success but the very idea that Newcastle are putting their club's existence in danger by spending is crazy.

happy85 Posted 6 March Share Posted 6 March Leicester have been arguing with the Football League over whether they have to submit a business plan that will forecast their figures to the end of June. After a review by an independent panel, it turns out that they don’t. (mirror) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
