There is still a lot of "deadwood" in our squad that will free up quite a bit in wages when moved on. Ashley had a habit of sticking bang average players on bumper contracts for some reason.

He popped out from WhatCulture/TrekCulture, which is still a little jarring for SF-loving Toon fans.

The commercial revenue not even flatlining but regressing is one of the many, many negatives of Ashley’s tenure that that doesn’t get enough column inches. Once it’s stacked up alongside the growth for other clubs over that awful 14 years, and analysed in the context of the relative positions before his arrival, it’s really scary. It clashes with the ‘great businessman’ narrative as it was so short-sighted to put no effort into it and to create such a toxic brand that faltered so badly whilst others were seeing exponential growth in that key revenue stream. There’s so much more to loathe; the lack of infrastructural investment (also short-sighted) and the stripping of key departments down to the bone being up there too. But it’s just a such a lazy uniformed argument to say that the club was in a good position in terms of FFP because of his frugality. It’s a half truth. It has strengthened our position in terms of FFP to some degree, but imagine the scope we would have had if we’d been even half as commercially astute as some of the clubs that we’re now trying to close the gap to. In some cases, closing a gap that was in our favour before his tenure. Also, that frugality has burdened us with players who are no use to us on long term contracts because that was cheaper than replacing them. It annoys me that Ashley can still annoy me so much, but it’s more so the mischaracterisation of his reign that grates so much. It’s either ignorant or intentional from those who do it but it’s always delivered in the context of telling Newcastle fans that they should somehow be grateful. It’s a sad state of affairs if the only ‘positive’ you can, (mistakenly) point to is one that was a happy accident caused by nefarious intent. It’s worse to be told to be thankful for it.

Very good explanation - some more major sponsorship deals would elevate revenue and they’ve got some of the best commercial people behind the scenes from what I understand. The other thing to bear in mind is once they get, say, 5 years under their belt they’ll be able to sell current players for a profit while new ones comes through but whilst they’re still getting there all player acquisitions are huge costs to the club. The ffp rules favour established big clubs with established revenue and acts as a barrier for smaller clubs to break into the top tier. The only way to do it is to maximise the revenue and spend up to the limits for 4/5 years - getting into the champions league was an unbelievable break this early in the project.

Come on stop calling Newcastle the richest club which is measured on turnover and not the owners.

Newcastle definitely has top people in charge, currently. I have the most faith since the 90s

So what can they basically spend every window? Regardless of top 4 or not.

I’m glad our owners are now going to spend like we did in the pre Ashley era

Pretty good video and explanation of FFP but you made the same mistake that others have made and think that Newcastle are spending 95% of revenue on wages. The 95% quoted in the accounts is made up of player fees, player wages and coaching staff cost.

That 70 mil is multiplied by the contract length so it’s say, 350 amortised.

So a £60 - 70 million budget is 5 players at £60 million pounds each? Each costing £12 million each per season? Over a 5 year deal.

Wait so Spurs can spend 400 Mil without breaching FFP but they choose to spend less than half of that? Also 60 Mil on Richarlison?? That ownership is so weird man, they should be near the top not 8th 🤣🤣

When a transfer happens, the buying club has to pay the negotiated transfer fee in full or in installments as per agreement. However when putting in the figures in the accounting books, the transfer fee can be divided by the number of years of the contract length. Chelsea gave 8 year contracts so if the transfer fee was 80 million, divided by 8 meaning only 10 million would be counted in the present year's financial books.

A lot of Ashley’s transfers were paid up front in full. Joelinton, I recall was one of these. So his 6 year contract in terms of transfer fee is zero.

If that's true then Joelinton is a prime candidate to be sold for up-front value, and replaced with an equivalent player over a staggered 5 or 6 year deal.

They can also loan players from Saudi clubs, with the Saudi clubs covering a percentage of the players salary, 80% for instance.

it would be scrutinised heavily if we did that, don't think they want to take any unnecessary risks, there'll be much more low profile ways of cheating the system lol

What if Newcastle United getting relegated after one season

Newcastle will be a title contenders next season maybe will be even fighting with City for the top from the look of the midfield as well as other areas basically they are complete team just need to add some good bench and a CB and a winger then they will be ready to face the City.

Just look at Chelsea, FFP it's a joke. Newcastle will spend well above 200M.

We can spend whatever we want as long as we pretend to sell 5 million shirts in Saudi Arabia!! Job done

Thats not how it work. Castore pay us 5 million a year for the shirt. They could sell 1 billion shirts and we would still only get the 5 million.
