Explains a lot.

The miserable fucker could do with a bit these days.

He's almost as insufferable as Owen, a feat I thought unachievable.

Semi automated offside checks coming to the PL in the autumn. Why these dickheads voted to reject them previously is anyone's guess, but at least we won't have to suffer the drawing of the lines for too much longer. 

 

Instead we can look forward to a computer deciding that someone is 1 pixel offside. 

[Dr Gloom 19891]

Right, anyone know if this bullshit is better or worse for us then the existing psr rules?

Quicker though isn’t it? Seems to work better then some muppet drawing lines on screen with a fucking ruler

He’s as miserable as Lawrenson but he’s at least a bit more clued up / does his homework more than Owen. Which, admittedly, isn’t saying much. It is, after all, their very well remunerated job.

Not entirely sure but based on 2022/23

 

85% of our turnover (£250m) was around £212m, we spent £187m on wages (which appear to be included) which would only leave £25m for additional players (inc. their wages, agent fees and transfer fees) assuming nothing else changes.

 

We're also allowed to spend 85% of profit from player sales, plus the extra revenue from the CL games.

 

In short, it's probably no better than it was previously, but it's slightly better than the UEFA model.

 

Seems shite - we want the luxury tax or they can fuck off IMO.

31 seconds faster on average apparently. So not that much quicker on average, but should hopefully stop the really long waits.

i like the idea that it's automated, so it least it removes any bias to favour the team with the right badge

New rules are bad news for us and fantastic news for those already at the top. 

 

[aimaad22 3517]

Why are the these clubs agreeing to them then? In the hopes they'll also be able to push up revenue?

 

Haven't really read the details yet.

The vote in for these rules was unanimous, so they obviously see some gain compared to the current rules at least.

Suppose you could compare it to the dilemma a mackem feels when he has to decide between shagging his ma or his sister after coming home from watching the lads.

 

Well, except for the fact in our case, neither PSR or this new shite is enjoyable...

Maybe they can see a relaxing of the sponsorship rules on the horizon 

[Andrew 4242]

Aye, or theres been some indication that the fines for overspending are "worth it" and will allow us to grow. 

[Kid Dynamite 6008]

Takes the piss that Man City's charges still haven't had a points deduction. 

 

Nowt to do with the fact they're currently involved in a 3 way title race mind...

Man City's charges are much more complicated than those against Everton and Forest.

It still seems odd that we haven't exploited this more. Everton had Moshiri sponsoring the training ground for £20m a year and apparently that was just fine yet we don't seem to have done anything similar.

I think the other proposal was to fall in line with UEFA which is capped at 70% so by comparison this looks much better.

Hasn't this already kind of happened? Didn't they already vote against stricter related party rules not that long ago or have I completely imagined it (which is very possible).

I think we're playing nice at the moment and perhaps biding our time so that we dont "lock ourselves in" to a deal that we could feasibly have had more money for long term

I'm City and the reason it's taking so long is due to the seriousness of the allegations.  They're still investigating us, trying to find some evidence.  Strong evidence as the burden of proof will be quite high given the stakes.

 

If we are found guilty we'll get hammered the like no-one has ever seen.

 

If we're innocent everyone will apologize and lay flowers at our feet. You'll even be honour bound to doff your cap to me in the street.

 

The original charges came at a terrible time for us, out of form and 5 points behind Arsenal. Annoyingly for the red cartel, it motivated us to win the treble.
