Looking at the FY23 account we see that Newcastle put merchandise in the commercial section. If we deduct the deals we know Noon -£8m, Fun88 -£8m and Castore -£5m = £21m. This puts the merchandise/ shirt sales quite low on the list.

For the sales from FY23 we can see Newcastle is no where to be seen on the list. Which points to the fact Newcastle has a big local support but outside the UK the numbers just drop off. Which makes me think they won’t hit the sales target.
December 9, 2024 at 11:32 AM
Doing a bit of research on the matter of the “Elite” clubs and it looks for 25/26 that Newcastle is still on the list. They are adding more clubs to the list.
I also don’t see Newcastle hitting the shirt sales to make the extra £5m. Deal is £30m + £5m after 350k sales. Newcastle average is 175k

One last bit to give some more context.

As we can see Newcastle’s total wages (all staff and players) site at 75% but just player wages is down to 59%. This gives us small idea on the cost of the staff (including the manager)So total wages went up from FY22 to FY23 by £14m Player wages went up £8m

Newcastle on the other hand is looking quite healthy. With the wages sitting at 59%. So even with adding the manager plus amortisation for 23/24 the club should still be well under 90% cap. They didn’t qualify for 24/25 but if they do for 25/26 they should still be looking good at 70%.
December 5, 2024 at 3:16 PM
But looking at clubs like Villa who sit right on that 70% will be finding it tight. You add the managers salary and amortisation and it could push 80%. So if they qualify again for next season they could have to find ways to lower their wages.

While researching the topic I was able to find this amazing little chart made by UEFA themselves which was part of the 2023 UEFA Brochure. Here it shows the top 20 clubs in Europe (plus a few extra) and their player wage to income ratio.

As Grey points out it is deducted. As we can see in form 3A. So the club has to know the numbers to get it deducted from the PSR calculations. They also have to know the number for the last 36 months.
December 3, 2024 at 3:56 PM
And here is the big bit. According to Steve Harper who is charge of the academy the club was 10-12 years behind other category 1 academies when he took over. And now is only 2-3 years behind some.

But that other clubs such as City and Chelsea spend around £15m on their academies.
December 3, 2024 at 2:47 PM
The club in 2023 also spent £500k extra on the academy. Which again would he deducted either on youth development or infrastructure.
December 3, 2024 at 2:45 PM
Since the takeover the club has seen a 50% increase in staff for the academy. Those costs are also deductible.
December 3, 2024 at 2:44 PM
Some clubs spend higher with the league average being around £3.5m. This doesn’t sound a lot in the grand scheme of things compared to other costs for a PL club.
December 3, 2024 at 2:42 PM
Until you did the June 30th PSR deals when was your last good sales? Woods and ASM.

And how much more can they get from selling fringe players.
December 2, 2024 at 1:23 PM
Spurs already generate the revenue. Which allows for spending which is why the fans are upset that Levy won’t spend it.
Do you know how many years will take Newcastle to match Spurs income.
December 2, 2024 at 12:56 PM
Plus a growing world wide fan base. Spurs are growing in the US and Asia.
December 2, 2024 at 12:54 PM
That more than most clubs get. Even City or Villa don’t do it that often.
December 2, 2024 at 12:14 PM
I did a thread earlier about PSR and the annual accounts that are usually announced this time of year but realised I missed something important out.

As we can see that clubs back by March 31st must give their two previous years and a prediction for the current year to the PL.
December 1, 2024 at 6:28 PM
It was made after all clubs had publicly posted their accounts to Government House.
December 1, 2024 at 6:01 PM
So in the next coming months you see the public accounts and see that your club lost a lot during the FY there is no need to panic. As that is not the PSR calculation number.

Below is a rough guide of much each club might get deducted.

I hope this thread has helped a few people.

All clubs have to submit audited accounts to the PL/UEFA. But they also have to fill in a form to get their deductibles or “add backs”. For the PL that is form 3A. Here they can lower their losses due to spending on certain things. Such as youth development, woman’s football and infrastructure

When any one says the club doesn’t pay interest you can explain that the club does. In 21/22 UEFA added a rule that all shareholder loans should be treated as a RPT. And must have a FMV interest rate. We qualified and played in the 22/23 season so we counted it that year for FFP.

Thank you Yates for just being yourself. A great start to the weekend. Now let’s get a 3rd a wrap up this match.
November 23, 2024 at 4:34 PM
So more rubbish you made up 😂🤦‍♂️. Are you confusing own clubs and signing Portuguese players with the same agent? Which is two totally different things.
November 23, 2024 at 12:15 AM
No evidence , your not doing very well are you 🤦‍♂️😂
November 23, 2024 at 12:08 AM
So Autumn 2021 was the first they had of any “formal initiative” to change PSR. Even City agreed that they didn’t make any move till that Autumn in 2021. 🤦‍♂️
