The best all around striker. A left winger that would get into any PL team. The England full back pairing for the next decade. So it just seems we need to improve CB, RW and GK then we are title contenders!?!? correct? Oh and 'Trent' and all the arsenal team and man utd so we can get all the decisions.

OTF 7959 Posted Friday at 01:04 Share Posted Friday at 01:04 No clubs breached PSR for 23-24 apparently. More like the Premier League knew that it would not be worthwhile pursuing anyone, so the loophole paper transfers that benefit PSR bottom lines are all good and even breaches are OK if you're ok with the arduous and costly process of arbitration. Hopefully this is an indication of a move away from this misguided attempt to monopolise the control of the incumbent big clubs. Sean Kearns BBC Sport Published 14 January 2025 The Premier League has not charged any clubs for breaches of its financial rules after all were deemed financially compliant for the 2023-24 season. Most top-flight clubs had to submit their accounts for the 2023-24 season by 31 December and the Premier League is satisfied all 20 members have remained within its profit and sustainability rules (PSR). Under PSR, clubs cannot post losses of more than £105m over a three-year period. It had been reported Leicester City were one of a number of clubs close to breaching the Premier League's margins for allowed losses. The Foxes avoided a points deduction after they won an appeal against a charge in September, which covered the three years up until the end of the 2022-23 season. An independent panel found the Premier League did not have the jurisdiction to punish the Foxes as the club had been relegated to the EFL Championship when their accounting period ended on 30 June 2023. In a joint statement on Tuesday, Leicester and the Premier League said the matter remains "the subject of confidential arbitration proceedings".

Happy Friday, everyone. Don't mention 74 ffs. Me and my mate spent the late evening on his house phone ringing up and abusing every Keegan in the phone book, we obviously got a few of the cunts up out of bed given the length of time it took them to answer, which was nice. As an added bonus this jolly jape did lead us to discover the best name in the history of telephone directories - Cmdr (ret'd) W. E. Kit-Kat. (Once seen never forgotten) - we were tempted but didn't call him as we were focused on Keegans (Highways were rare but we got a few).

LongTimeAdmirer 1313 Posted Friday at 13:36 Share Posted Friday at 13:36 Quote NEWCASTLE CONFIDENTIAL: Inside NUFC's major scouting summit that will be crucial to snapping up future stars, Callum Wilson sets injury return target and how new PIF sponsor will impact PSR spending Newcastle’s scouting network will descend on Tyneside this weekend for a key summit in which Paul Mitchell will give a presentation, Confidential can reveal. The sporting director is set to meet with his talent-spotters at a Quayside hotel on Friday night before they all attend Saturday’s home match versus Bournemouth. In the past, scouts have been given a task to perform during the game, such as providing a report on an opposition player. Mitchell is set to outline the club’s current position with regards recruitment and discuss the profile of players they want to bring in, from Under 14 to the senior team. He will be joined by senior recruitment staff Andy Howe and Steve Nickson. The scouting contingent – strengthened since Mitchell’s summer arrival - will then enjoy dinner at a Quayside restaurant before another meeting on Sunday morning. The get-together is of huge strategic importance in terms of Mitchell getting across his ideas as the new club chief. However, there is a slight irony in this gathering of recruitment minds during a month in which sources continue to insist the club are very unlikely to buy any players. Mitchell did show Georgian forward Vakhtang Salia around the training ground this month. He will join from Dinamo Tbilisi on his 18th birthday in August and was a player identified by Mitchell and recruitment staff. The expectation is that a European partner club will have been identified for Salia to join immediately on loan ahead of next season. Players of similar profile are likely to be discussed this weekend, given the club’s need to identify talent early in a bid to beat PSR. CAL CUP TARGET Callum Wilson is targeting a return to action for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at home to Arsenal. The striker is said to have made good progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury and being back for the visit of the Gunners on February 5 is a motivation. Wilson suffered the injury during the 4-2 defeat at Brentford in December and was ruled out for two months. He spent a short period away from the club given the mental impact of the setback, but sources say the 32-year-old has returned with a drive to make a difference in the second half of the season. It is hoped that lessons have been learnt from his last comeback when he made three substitute appearances in a week. Wilson staying fit can be of huge benefit to the team and Alexander Isak, who has carried the load superbly in his team-mate’s absence. But were Eddie Howe to have scope to rotate, it would help protect the Swede against injury and fatigue. Don’t bet against Wilson scoring some important goals in the next few months. PIF PAY THEIR WAY! Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund WILL pay for new advertising around St James’ Park, unlike former owner Mike Ashley and his retail branding. This week saw the first LED boards carrying PIF’s name flash up during a game - ‘PIF, Invested in Better’. And Confidential can confirm that the club’s majority owners will pay for that privilege, contributing to revenue streams and PSR calculations. The sum is sure to be looked at by the Premier League given their rules on ‘Related Party Transactions’, but Newcastle’s valuation of Saudi-related sponsors has, so far, always fallen well within fair market value. KUB-NO! Newcastle have been offered the chance to sign Japan winger Takefusa Kubo - but will not be pursuing a move. The Magpies were approached and made aware of Kubo’s £50million release clause in his Real Sociedad contract. While there is respect for a player who was briefly a team-mate of Alexander Isak and has scored six times this season, the finances of the deal make it a non-starter. The 23-year-old would appear keen on a move to the Premier League and the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal have both been credited with an interest in recent months. A right winger remains one of Newcastle’s primary targets heading into the summer. Miguel Almiron is set to join Atlanta United in a £10m deal, but it’s unlikely a replacement will arrive this month. https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14292447/NEWCASTLE-CONFIDENTIAL-scouting-summit-future-stars-Callum-Wilson-Eddie-Howe.html 1.
