NUFC aka The Horse Punchers

I can see a certain amount of reasoning behind PSR, but the fact the head honcho came out and said they don't want another Leicester scenario, the fact that certain clubs get almost every decision in there favour,
You have Liverpool, basically in administration, sold on the cheap, so less debt to pay, players they bought that they shouldn't have kept hold of then sold on, hack Man city's computers,tap players up illegally and try to join a super league no points deducted, small fines
ManUnited , £200m in debt, sack minimum wage players, get a match abandoned/postponed, no real punishment
Chelsea, basically debt free after Abromovich was sanctioned, threatened to join super league, sell hotel and women's team to themselves, no punishment
Man City, 115 plus charges, threaten to join super league, allowed to carry on spending while the charges get kicked down the road, if the other 14 clubs weren't scared of missing out on the crumbs that get dropped then it could change

But it also proves how PSR protects the elite and closes the shop.

United were crying the pauper last year and cut their staff because costs were too high and they'd run out of money by November. They've now spent £200mill (no exits i believe) and have half a billion in attacker's on the books.

Yet the majority of clubs outside the top six voted for the rules to be put in place.

When hasn’t the premier league been a closed shop?

I don’t recall it being that competitive before PSR. It was still the same teams occupying the top places.

Take away PSR and nothing would really change.

I don’t know why our fans are so sympathetic towards Newcastle. They bought themselves out a relegation scrap we were a part of then unsettled and signed one of our best players.

Saudi ownership is more of a problem than PSR.
 
They should be allowed to spend whatever they want.

They've literally got unlimited funds, they're backed by a state. So why is the PL telling them they can't whilst the big 6 can seemingly do as they want? Doesn't sit right with me at all, for our chances of ever breaking that monopoly.

But its Newcastle 😂😂😂😂

They're not even the Kopites of the North, the reds are Geordies of the South.

6 years of relevance in 60 years of football, and they act like they're the best side of all. Bit like Leeds.

Id love PIF to pull the plug and they go back to being relegation fodder.

A throw away comment occurred on 'politics live' or whatever it's now called on bbc2 midday a month or so back, and it's stuck with me since.

"we're going to find ourselves with no football clubs left to sell to the saudi's".

The chinese have pulled the plug on the last steel furnace in the country (here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crlzjx26p8yo ), it is a state of managed decline nationwide, going concerns (businesses) are not as profitable as they once were so are being asset stripped and killed off.
That parasite green nuked how many businesses? When the guys at the top decide they're pulling the money out, it invokes a state of panic in associated markets. Want to see signals of it? Cash for your gold, then cash for your valuables (heirlooms), then scrap cars, then scrap metal, then used clothes... Asset stripping. Drag out every last shilling and drop kick it into the dump.

The PL is a product, a worldwide audience, want proof supporters don't count, the embarrassment of how covid was mismanaged repeatedly and the shillyshallying around games going ahead then not then ahead and then empty grounds.

Money first, money second, money third. The rest is window dressing.

Ive do believe they voted for regulation but the rules and implementation is something they aren't happy about. Hence why its changed again.

And its not about being sympathetic. Its just when you compare it to clubs that have a tight rope to walk to clubs that have 115 FFP charges still against them, ones that have a 50 man squad and sell hotels to themselves to stay in line, or ones that cry poverty and sack staff while spending £300million...it increases the farcical nature of it all

Spot on mate, I think there’s some hatred for the stripey kopites that is blurring views vision on rigged PSR and the farcical nature of it, resulting in the preferential treatment the scabs have been getting for years.

Comes to something when I’m hoping they start and join the euro super league properly, but then we need the fa, pl and the 14 others to properly kick them out of the pyramid once and for all.

The second part is the kicker - just won’t happen, sadly.

The third part, once they go, they stay gone. No coming back, you've had your chips. Adios!

If it was down to me , once they went there would be no cup competitions, no way back in unless they join at the very bottom of the pyramid, with the same PSR, FFP that the like of Bury would have

They’re not even really throwing that much around comparatively.
Might once Isaak goes but only heavily subsidised by his sale

Cos they're hamstrung by the PSR. Unless im wrong, isnt the Isak thing down to wages? Newcastle can't offer him £200k a week. So he's leaving to go to a club that will or a bigger name one.

All their transfer targets have gone to Real, Chelsea, United, RS, City, Spurs.

They're punching but don't have a way to throw silly money to complete a deal.
