People were not happy. My original greenalls shirt* got nicked on the washing line in Spain so the following season I just bought blue star one so there was no daft amalgamation of a black bar with the blue star on top. I'd love to have the bar code blue star shirt again but there's no retro version and any originals you see are daft money. (Mine's long gone). *Bought in Belfast, lost In L'Estartit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 39245 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I'm not going to even try to make sense of UEFA's financial rules but this is what The Athletic reckon our situation is. Quote Football earnings rule Newcastle’s position in terms of UEFA’s loss limits looks precarious, not least as they were only able to avoid a breach of Premier League rules in 2023-24 by undertaking transactions which UEFA made the club discount from its continental submissions. As detailed in the club’s accounts for that season, Newcastle’s pre-tax loss was £38.1m in their UEFA submissions, £27m higher than the £11.1m shown in the accounts (and in Premier League PSR submissions). That increase stemmed from UEFA requiring Newcastle reduce player sale profits by £30.4m. The governing body deemed the sale of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest an effective swap for Forest’s Odysseas Vlachodimos, while the sale of Allan Saint-Maximin to Al Ahli, a related party by virtue of also being owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, was reduced to nil profit. Newcastle’s 2022-23 pre-tax loss was also increased in their UEFA submissions, taking the club’s loss over the first two years of the 2022-25 assessment cycle to £122m (€142m). That is before deductions for allowable costs, but those aren’t as substantial as elsewhere; for example, only £8.4m (€9.7m) in depreciation costs were deductible over those first two seasons. Even with growing matchday and commercial income, and a potentially static wage bill as a result of no Champions League football, it is unlikely Newcastle’s 2024-25 result was sufficiently improved to avoid another notable loss. Operating losses were around £68m in each of the last two seasons, player sale profits were lower last season than the year before (even taking into account 2023-24’s reduction in UEFA submissions), and a £5.5m increase in Premier League distributions was more than offset by the loss of £29.8m in Champions League payouts. The Athletic projects Newcastle have comfortably breached the €60m three-year loss limit to the end of June 2025, and will, as Aston Villa and Chelsea did before them, likely now face a financial penalty. That is based upon our own judgment of the matter; when asked about actions stemming from future breaches, UEFA advised they cannot comment on hypotheticals. Squad cost rule Surety around the squad cost rule is much harder to come by, and Newcastle’s position there has been aided by the transfer drama of this summer. Isak’s departure generated big profit for the club — we reckon in the region of £80m — and while only one-third of that will count toward their 2025 SCR calculation, that’s still a big help. They’ll also benefit from the removal of Isak’s amortisation and wage costs, though only four months’ worth of savings will apply for 2025. The sales of Lloyd Kelly and Sean Longstaff help too, as do the departures last season of Anderson, Yankuba Minteh and Miguel Almiron, all of whose movements will reduce Newcastle’s cost base from the one we can see in their most recent accounts. Qualification for the Champions League also guarantees some immediate extra income; The Athletic estimates Newcastle will earn around £30m in UEFA prize money even if they lose all eight group games this season. That doesn’t help their football earnings figure for this season, but any revenue generated up to the end of this year counts within 2025 for SCR purposes. After making a reasonable allowance for non-player wages, The Athletic projects Newcastle to be on the right side of the 70 per cent marker for UEFA’s squad cost rule, though the number of assumptions involved makes it far from certain. A missed estimate here or there could push them into a breach. Either way, the sale of Isak and its contribution of over £25m profit to this season’s calculation has been important. Without that, a breach of both of UEFA’s rules this season would have been more likely on Tyneside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, and fairly sure it's not even that much in relative terms. Barely a slap on the wrist.

Gemmill 63249 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 That Staveley thing is worth a watch like. She does come across really well and is clearly in love with Newcastle and half of the staff at the club.

No, cos we had to make those buys in that first window or we'd have gone down. They were largely responsible for the Anderson thing though, but for the right reasons. My issue is with the legends that have sprung up, like the idea that "everyone we signed under Mandy and Mehrdad was done in secret, why can't we do thst anymore?!", which just wasn't true. They also benefitted from being able to sign people when the promise of the takeover was that we were going to be the next Man City. People know that isn't true now so we're a harder sell than we were, despite the progression of the club. Basically my issue isn't with them, it's with the mythologising around everything they did and when things go wrong for us, out comes the legend of Staveley and Ghodoussi. I think they did a brilliant job and she comes across as a genuinely nice person. Edited September 16 by Gemmill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8366 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I think she's a big loss in a 'heart and soul' kind of way. She was the bridge between playing team and executive and that sort of role is really important IMO because it helps sell the vision and founds a sense of cohesiveness at all levels of the organisation. Whatever mistakes she made, and I'm sure there were many, I don't think that component of what she offered is easily replaced (or indeed has been replaced). 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63249 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I think we have replaced it you know. It's a player liaison job and we have got a team in place doing that now. Probably put in place by Staveley as well. The fact the players got used to her as a mother type figure and felt the loss when she left was unfortunate, but I don't think the support has disappeared or anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
