    The Premier League will be restricting teams to 85% spend of turnover from next season anyway (which is the big change that's replacing FFP in it's current form), so Newcastle wouldn't be able to do that. The new UEFA financial rules will be restricting teams to 90% spend next season, then 70% from 2025-26, so we wouldn't feel any additional restrictive effects from being in Europe next season. So the Premier League rules will definitely be a bit looser for teams not in Europe, 15% more of turnover to be precise, but I suppose that's mitigated a bit as teams in Europe will get more money. I can see why the likes of Villa and Newcastle might not be overly keen, but this was unanimously agreed on about a month ago, and this hard cap would be an additional measure. I guess one reason you'd be opposed would be if you think the Premier League's broadcasting money has peaked with this current deal, and will decrease in the coming years to the point where the 'hard cap' suddenly becomes restrictive for more than just the likes of Chelsea and Man City.

    The Premier League is already adopting a looser form of UEFA's European cap though (85% rather than UEFA's 70%): this hard spending cap of around £500m would be in addition to the new rules that clubs unanimously agreed on two weeks ago. Low-revenue Premier League clubs not in Europe wouldn't be able to spend ridiculous amounts of money because they'll still be restricted to 85% of their turnover per these new rules: they wouldn't be able to come close to the hard cap (c.£500m) that'll be imposed in addition to those rules. https://theathletic.com/5407740/2024/04/11/premier-league-ffp-rules-new/

    Believe he works for Sawiris, was formerly his representative at the Luxembourgian V Sports companies pre-Atairos merger.

    AFAIK this squad cost cap (which wouldn't affect us in any way as our spend is about half of the cap: only Chelsea would fail it and Man City would be close) is separate to the 70-85% spending limit that has been adopted by UEFA and is planning to be adopted by the Premier League. So absolutely no clue why Villa voted against, this isn't the planned financial rule change that would affect us.

    Why exactly have Villa/Heck voted against this lol?

    87% chance of 4th on Opta, which is up from 76% after yesterday's game.

    Very funny pen to give away tbf. Rice kicked him in the unmentionables

    3 goals and 1 assist in the last 5 Premier League games. Not bad for a Championship player!

    Honestly, I'll take those results all day long. Even if Plymouth didn't get any points they have a better GD (-12 v -16) and way more goals scored. Small Heath can't get away with a draw unless Plymouth somehow lost by 5 goals, they have to beat Norwich (who are on title contender form!)

    Wednesday are beating West Brom.

    Heck talked about launching "the next generation of our brand" over the coming weeks at his sports conference. Will be interesting to see what that entails. The new badge and the AV150 marquee are the only glimpses we've seen so far and both of those have had quite the negative reception on here and social media. Hopefully the rest is... better.

    I do wonder who exactly created next season's badge: it presumably isn't going to be Dragon Rouge given all of their work has been seemingly binned. Presumably it's been done in-house?
  16. wishywashy
    I do agree with you, especially seeing how poorly the badge fan survey last season was handled. Although to be fair, the badge we're having next season has had absolutely zero fan consultation, bar the FAB being told that a leak was true: and that one's about as compromisey (and dreadful) as you can get!

    Crazy how most of these designs are far better than anything we've had over the years. All these potential directions and somehow they still mess it up every time! I love the golden lion in particular breaking out of the badge. Goes against most design norms but it's a lion rampant.

    If there's one thing I'd like to thank Heck for, it's looking forward to the controversial debates whenever this unholy trio of topics are at the top. Bonus points if they're HOT! Gives us something to talk about when it's not matchday that isn't fish pun related.

    There's 3 different representations of our visual brand on this picture alone, and none of them will be our badge next season. #OnBrand

    Mutually exercise the option now on the current contract to ward off all the media noise, sign a new contract properly in the summer seems to be what's happening. UTFV
