Football All things Football

from what i understand you can lose 105m every 3 seasons. (which i dislike any way, because it's ridiculous that teams can lose 3m a month. & we wonder why football clubs are struggling to survive) which shows why they have nothing to spend in transfer kitty.

What are the Premier League rules?
For now, there are different rules for each country & each league - but we'll give you the Premier League set for ease. In its simplest possible terms, teams need to make sure they aren't recording a loss greater than £105m across the combined accounts of the previous 3 seasons.
That's the headline figure to work off, but annoyingly, it's not that simple.
The Ts & Cs
That £105m is caveated by the fact that £90m must be covered by "secure funding" from a club's owners. Secure funding is a fancy way of saying "buying up more shares", rather than an owner simply lending their club money.
That means a club can only lose £15m of its "own" money every 3 years. In other words - any loss above £15m but below £105m has to be guaranteed by club owners. If it isn't, or you go above that £105m limit, you are in breach of the rules. To add to the confusion, certain costs can be deducted - such as investment in youth development, infrastructure or community projects, among other examples.

although no point in understanding them because we have a whole new set of rules in 4 months time as new rules will come into effect in 2025-26. Clubs playing in European competition will only be able to spend 70% of their turnover & Clubs not competing in Europe will be able to spend 85%

Unless of course, you're talking about Manchester United, who can lose as much as they like, and still meet FFP rules...

There are some exceptions - for instance, player purchases are spread over the entire length of their contract, whilst infrastructure and the women’s team are excluded. However, it is still almost impossible for the sums to add up.

yes because thats how chelsea got around it, having players on 7-8 year contracts. but i was reading that all the compensation for those who they sacked like Ten Hag & dan ashworth. that cost them £15m

Arsenal dropped points against United, meanwhile Liverpool fans

 

[F1Brits_90]

yeah it got to be weird that man utd have just handed the title to liverpool by easter. but i guess theyve got bigger things to worry about
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
im glad portsmouth getting the rewards for sticking with your manager as pompey had that dreadful start. 1 win in 1st 14. & they couldve panicked like Oxford did. but they sticked with Mousinho. i was look at a table. if the season started on bonfire night Portsmouth would only be 1 point off the playoffs

Surprised there's been no footy based comments here tonight.

im irritatingly at work so watching at work. i was hoping for a different view

you got fortunate with your fixtures because no disrespect but in both games. we have got 1 eye on our neighbours at the weekend

but blades certainly not at that standards ive seen v leeds, boro & Preston in that 1st half. we should be behind but then could be in front. i know why i sinclair Armstrong only has 1 goal in 21 games

 

[cider_and_toast]

We are the most beige team in the championship.

We lack a decent striker but other than that we're alright in just about every position.

 

[F1Brits_90]

a draw is mostly fair. as Bristol city were decent & for whatever that spark was missing that id seen in previous 3 home games. aside from cracking move for 1-0. it felt slow & laboured. it wasnt until stoppage time the real blades turned up & we saw a bit of urgency. where has this team been all match

for me 94th, it wouldve been very soft to give it as a penalty on burrows. yes the defender was very clumsy. but i can see why ref think Burrows is waiting for it. but the 97th min penalty shout, the referee as bottled that 1, as you see them given in Premier league all the time. wouldve given a chance to have a undeserved victory

 

[cider_and_toast]

Honours even. No complaints.

Yes you do see those last ditch penalties given by refs in the prem but it's always against the underdog which, if you were in the prem would have been against your side.

I would have taken a point at 5 to 8 all day long.

 

[F1Brits_90]

but a penalty should be a penalty regardless of who or where.

but thats not why we dropped points. we were below the standards we set in the last month & even saturday

I listened to the Pompey game on the radio as I was on a tip run. The excitement never begins in my life...

Anyway, good result and, hopefully, suggests that 2025/26 might be a better season.

You don't need to tell me. You taking to a fan of a club who went without a penalty being awarded in their favour for two seasons. Funnily enough, after it made the national sports pages, a week or so later we finally got one.

Some of the penalties we should have had were such poor ref decisions it was a joke. We must have at least half a dozen letters of apology from the EFL Refs.

as i mentioned above, im delighted you stuck with your manager & your getting your rewards. too many clubs ditch the manager at the 1st rough patch

yeah we seen some awful refereeing. the standard has unquestionable gone down. we had that ridiculous penalty given against us v middlesboro. when grappling takes place in every game & we had the only time a penalty was given for it

And then Pompey lose to Plymouth. Ho hum.
