FFP stopping Newcastle breaking into the Top 6! Eddie Howe says NUFC can’t spend & have no friends!

[@stevedarragh]

It's always puzzled me why PIF seem so intent on helping opposition clubs by offering inflated prices to buy players. They offered Liverpool £200M for Salah. If he had gone that would have given the Scousers tremendous financial leverage (on top of the inflated Henderson deal) with regards to FFP - and hampered the PL club they own even Further! I just don't get it

[@GonzoJamie]

You are confused - just enjoy the game and leave the finances to those who understand

[@jamesmilligan2797]

FFP is & would be illegal in EVERY other industry. Can we just ignore it & get loads of solicitors like city!

[@felixjsupercars]

Always a pleasure to listen to you Keith and I value everything you say.

[@johnwatson7120]

Yea it seems like all the premier league clubs hands are tied. Apart from the top 6 . When there’s a false start in a 400 meter race they’ll bring them all back to the beginning . Not in the premier league let the big 6 take advantage of the false start. Corrupt to the core. 🤔

[@pinskersice9417]

PIF or saudi must stop giving newcastle rival club free money from buying their player .. like trensfer jordan henderson, saudi gift free mobey for liverpool for rebuild their team ... Stop it..

[@atourdeforce]

They wont because ultimately they don't give a shit about Newcastle they care far more about their own Saudi teams(and rightly so) Which is why i always thought it was bonkers that people actually thought wed get players from saudi teams on loan. Like they were actually ever going to put us over their own needs.

[@TheDefJamm]

Football is the only industry where owners are not allowed to spend on THEIR assets! It's a restriction of trade and surely there's a law against that!? FFP even stops smaller clubs from spending to their full potential too. It's all to protect that so called big 6 who were able to get all their sponsorships and back handed deals in place before any FFP rules came in. All so they can still spend big regardless of FFP because they have all the deals there. It's simply an anti competition rule.

[@tgdkls5891]

In some countries, FFP would be illegal under anti-monopoly or fair competition laws. Clearly the main FFP impact is to prevent anyone catching up to the big six. os Those who built a massive squad value and turnover base before FFP got serious, can continue to outspend others even if others have the funds. Wouldn't be allowed in any other walk of life.

[@toonarmy8524]

Exactly that. its to hinder the other 14 teams so non of them can break into the top 6.

[@paulw3765]

[@montybrewster7]

It wasn't immediately apparent to me but is becoming increasingly clear that all ffp does is preserve the dominance of the 'traditional' top 6. How is any club supposed to catch teams who are able to make £190-470m (Spurs-Man City) more in revenue other clubs are not allowed to improve their revenue stream by improving the team or stadium??? Especially given what city & chelsea have got away with over the last 10 years & now the suits at uefa have basically locked the doors behind them & made sure no other club gets a look in! I don’t know why i'm surprised mind, football is as corrupt as boxing! Cheers keith.

[@dbulman2]

FFP is ruining football, the bias for th traditional top teams is frustrating. We have to listen to fans from other clubs talking about our ownership and spending but we cant spend while slated by all media for saudi ownershio . Just hope PIF dont lose interest and concentrate on saudi league which is helping our rivals buyign there players leavign us further behind.

[@JohnJohnson-by9dp]

WE definitely don't need HENDERSON we are not that hard up.

[@Robert.Sheard]

The league pulled up the drawbridge when PIF bought NUFC. FFP spending restrictions on top of limiting what sponsors NUFC can have. Where are PIF's anti-competition attorneys?

[@misturmonson7423]

PL just paused it for a few months after pif bought us up, after that we got the sela deal etc.

[@DavidVeitch54]

At our current 40% revenue increase annually in two seasons we will be generating £450m and that does not include Sela, Adidas or the CL revenue.

[@speedydemon666]

I think when someone new buys a club they should be able to spend what they want for 1st , 3 year, so they can put a team together, it means the teams above you have an advantage coz they have there team set up allready.

[@atourdeforce]

Teams would abuse that eventually you habe teams being sold every 3 years and youd have owners getting away with it because itvwould be too hard to prove a link between the old and new owners.

You say about the medical department but why did they allow Joelinton back out against Sunderland in the 2nd half. Shouldn't have taken the risk.

[@SlabISR]

Or do a Man City and buy who you want…and to hell with FFP. Would a dramatically improved squad accumulate more than an additional 10pts? 10pts is a single season pain, the squad would be with you from that point on. Is there another way to break the top 6 monopoly? FFP is to ensure financial sustainability, PIF are financially sustainable by default. Regardless what they invest, it’s a rounding error.

[@automaticasthmatic]

Why were Man City allowed to gatecrash the top 4 at the time? Why are Spurs protected also? They've literally done nothing to be labelled a top 6 club. What a joke

[@leosphilosophy]

Somewhere in Saudi, a £200M deal is being done with a newsagent shop keeper for a chocolate bar with the condition that £199,999,999 will be offered to NUFC for stadium naming rights next season. "Not our money!"

[@lee_mc]

Ah whatever, rules are there for a reason. We've had 20-30 years worth of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and as of late City, that won't change and thats what the rules are there for. Boring and detrimental to the league. The likes of Newcastle, Villa etc have no chance of breaking that top 6 - I'm not talking about 1 off seasons like what we did last year and what Villa are doing this year.

[@stephenderry9488]

Newcastle will bridge the gap, might take a few years but as returns from European seasons build up and we can demand more from sponsors to boost the commercial revenues, we'll close the gap and eventually overtake at least Spurs. We're already ahead of the "other 13." We have a coach who can get the most out of even Bruce/Ashley players so if he gets 3 or 4 really good new players every year, there's no reason he cannot repeat last season's form and keep us in Europe, and bothering the latter stages of cups.

[@centurion8446]

Yes we/they do, just takes a few persistent seasons, if Chelsea, Spurs or whoever miss European comp for a few consistent years and us, Brighton and Villa make it things change

[@atourdeforce]

I cant believe more people dont get why we're not getting players. They were NEVER going to put Newcastle as a higher priority over their own Saudi teams.

[@SiuHang35]

Frustrated??? Look at those loaned out, unused and unwanted players in our squad first. The bloody fact is that we can only maintain our current squad until the contracts of our deadwoods are finally expired. Then we can “finally” talk about the new players. It doesn’t matter how much that Ashley “generously” spent for Joelinton, Wilson, or else (since he supposed to do it long time ago); signing some wrong players while giving some undeserved players the extensions to stay longer are the big hit for us, and people have failed to realize it but the FFP? Sorry to say it but FFP has a “really good reason” to block us from any signings while we still have those deadwoods onboard. Release all them first before talking that FFP. I don’t need to point out who those deadwoods are but I am sure that it’s not hard for everyone to list them all. Sell our star players to improve the squad??? What a joke but they are just talking about the facts. Just get rid of those deadwoods first!
