Can't imagine they'll be anywhere near. £13M permitted losses a year. £39M over 3 years according to new FFP rules from this year. Plus they divide the value of the player by his contract. So Tomlin only costs them £1M a year (plus wage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stowyowl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Who am I forgetting that Newcastle have sold other than Townsend to only have a net spend of £5m? Really useful thread, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really useful thread, thanks. Remy Cabella £7M est and Papiss Cisse £5M est. Equalling £25M sold and £30M roughly spent. Crazy when you think they're putting tags of £25M on Wijnaldum and £35M on Sissoko. Utterly crazy. Actually you can also add the likes of Janmaat and Tim Krul to the list of potential departures and goodness knows hw much they'd want for Mitrovic if someone came knocking.

stowyowl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Thanks, I forgot Cisse went the other day and had completely forgotten Remy Cabella even existed. I think Newcastle have done really good business so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The other clubs that were around us last season that didn't go up in Brighton and Derby haven't done much at all either really. I'd only start to worry a little if they were strengthening and we weren't. I'm not too fussed about the likes of Newcastle, Aston Villa and Norwich because all 3 won't do well. It's pretty much guaranteed that at least one will find the Championship a steep learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastleigh Owl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Wait a bit, that Aaron Mooy who huddersfield have on loan, is that the same one penguin promised us? Must have mistook the huddersfield and Owls shirts when he was looking in his crystal ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReluctantNicko Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 If Newcastle fail to win the league by at least 10 points, there will probably be a stewards' inquiry and a betting scandal accusing Magpies' players of deliberately throwing the game. Burnley & Brighton only lost 5 last season....I reckon Newcastle will lose 4 or less (and maybe go unbeaten at home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time round Newcastle were the team to beat and even then they managed to go unbeaten at home and walk the league. In my opinion they have a stronger squad this time round and stronger financial picture off the pitch however the Championship in itself is stronger. Be interesting but as you say they are just too good to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 And... on the opposite end of the spectrum to Newcastle. Burton Albion have completed the club record signing Kyle MacFadzean from MK Dons on a 3 year deal. This surpasses their previous record of £20,000 lol. The funny thing is MacFadzean was being lined up by the pigs but looks like they can't compete for these top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Good thread is this Makes a change from the usual nonsense on here during the summer months Cant say I've been impressed with anyone's dealings so far, except for Newcastle Bristol City seem to be ambitious, but they have a pudding in charge so I can't see them challenging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC1Owl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Wolves takeover on the cards, which might change things a bit there. We are an example of how quickly that could happen, so if this comes off, I reckon that makes Wolves opssible contenders. https://t.co/aQj4oSiqa3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs being bought by foreigners as they realise the premier league prize is worth the initial investment if this continues then it won't be long before we do see a premier league 2 and money split over two leagues. Fortunately we should be part of that of it happens soon, our neighbours may not be so lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
