Why can't Newcastle go on a spending spree with their new owner if thats the case , surely Chelsea's wage bill will be astronomical especially if Dejong is signed ? Is FFP just for us & Newcastle .No idea I thought there was a rule that a new owner can spend loads as long as he has a plan to be self sufficient! Now though I don’t know Uefa have new ffp rules premier I don’t think have announced there new ffp rules yet!?
Richard Masters, prem exec was saying they were not giving up on their investigation in allegeged breaches of FFP by MCFC, which is now 3 years in the mix .Something stinks of rotten eggs with the lot of them !

I don't think the budget is £30 million for a LB, we just don't believe the Cucurella is worth what Bloom wants for him. My understanding is we offered £40 million, which IMO (for what it's worth) is too much for this fella.If the budget for a left back is £30m then I'm not sure we'll find anyone decent for that price.
Maybe a young but inexperienced player? However he's going to Girona.
Maybe an older player? However we don't tend to do that anymore.
It's why I think, and hope I'm very wrong, that we won't be bringing in any other player.
Pep will be asked to work miracles again and shoring up a hole in the squad with players out of position.
I don’t think he’ll have too much trouble in the future, there’s not many Brighton players we’ve ever been interested in and Players/ Agents will still be attracted to signing for them due to Premier League wages.Planet short term gain, long term pain more like.
He’s maxing out this deal, and fair play to him for that - but the precedent it creates for their business model will have repercussions way beyond this deal.
I think he’s overplayed his hand in a fit of ego, to be honest - which is not unusual in poker - and will pay for it in future windows.
Still - who gives a fuck. I’m just glad we’re out of it now.
I hope he goes on the de Laurentiis and Levy list of time wasters we don’t bother playing games with again in future.
As you say, glad we’ve pulled the deal, we have a structure and stick to it.
He would fit like a glove for City, but the fee is too high.He's perfect for Chelsea.

When was £30m declared as our budget?If the budget for a left back is £30m then I'm not sure we'll find anyone decent for that price.

The weirdest thing here is that BHA got Cucurella for £15m. How can we not spot players like that! The mark up on him is ridiculous. One half decent season for a mid table premier league club and its £50m+ talk about prem tax!
They have, 90% of turnover on wages and fees for three seasons then it’s 70% after that.No idea I thought there was a rule that a new owner can spend loads as long as he has a plan to be self sufficient!

working on the theory that it was what we offered. I knew I should have included that as I knew someone would mention it.
