In theory they could do so long as they didn't qualify for Europe. The FFP rules including the related party clause that doesn't impact us in any way is only tested if the club qualify for Europe. So theoretically, Newcastle could throw a huge sponsorship in for one year to allow them to buy a new team, and then qualify for Europe and stop/change the over-priced sponsorship. Or do like PSG did and allow it to be revalued to a realistic value whilst still pocketing the cash.

However, if the Premier League didn't have the "market value" clause, then they're only catching up on something they really should have had ages ago....

Do they think Newcastle were just going to blindly get a sponsor that pays 1000% market value. How dumb to these people think the new Newcastle ownership is?

Isn't that the fucking rules anyway? From a uefa perspective, if they ruled the sponsorship deal a related 3rd party deal (which they didn't with Etihad) then it has to be judged fair market value. Its like the media are so far up their own arses they think these things have never been in place before.

No it will be independent firms who exist solely to do these things.

Don't listen to talk sport commentary then. The only time I've heard a clubs third strip slagged off at kick off then again at the start of the second half.

I recall it was our fans that took to the scene first with the fashions, jeans and t shirts at the time that was noted by the media. Rag fans were well behind as usual like the neanderthals they are !

They were first to adopt the Bay City Rollers fashion scene. I know a few rags who thought they looked pretty cool dressed like them and with a scarf tied to each wrist. It still makes me grin when I think about them.

In deference to our raggy neighbors, they were the first to jump on the zebra pants trend.

I had a friend who was a Jam Tarts supporter, never seen without Rollers style scarves.

When I was involved in copyrighting a few years ago, you had to state in every case the specific uses you were aiming to protect. E.g. "Puma: All clothing, liesurewear, shoes. Sporting awards......". Puma would not be protected for use as a brand of sausages.

I can't be arsed to research it but i'm still not 100% convinced that that isn't just an offshoot of Puma or something. Or maybe just the designer himself. Selling the odd t-shirt with Madchester on it is totally tinpot, back bedroom stuff, and the website has only just gone live.

It’s a clothing brand owned by the Donnellys who used to own Gio Goi
 
keep an eye on this:

Amnesty International to hold talks with the Premier League about the fit and proper owners test.

An Amnesty spokesperson said “The current rules concerning who owns and runs English football clubs are woefully inadequate, with no bar on ownership for those complicit in acts of torture, slavery, human trafficking or even war crimes."

Obviously they have a world view that accords with the Guardian, the British Foreign Office where Britain is regarded as a civilising power and the home of democracy and liberty. Many people speak in the name of liberty. It means nothing.

Good job City are owned by Sheikh Mansour and not the UAE or I could envisage problems with this going forwards.

That would be the same Amnesty International that has been accused by its own staff of bullying sexism, reducing staff to tears etc etc. Right.
And they are going to speak to the Premier League who have 20 teams, all with 25 man squads but not one single player dare come out as gay. Right.
