Thought dippers had £50m Stanley Park feasibility costs included for ffp?As already mentioned, stadium infrastructure costs are not deducted from revenues for FFP purposes, so it doesn't matter how they are funded.

The "costs" weren't included in FFP expenses (like all infrastructure costs) so their losses went down. If that makes sense?

There isn't a pups chance of the Rags getting any Government funding for their 'Wembley of the North' plan.But that means that being bailed out by the UK government allows them to finance player expenditure with money that should have been used by themselves on stadium development
For starters, the goverment is strapped for cash and under pressure to deliver unfunded tax cuts. So who in their right mind would give cash to a one of the richest football clubs in the world who are owned by a billionaire tax exile and a dubious US family.
Can you image the odium that would come from supporters of the likes of Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, etc. who have built or are building brand new stadiums without any state hand outs? Much the same for teams like Newcastle, Liverpool, City, who have spent or are spending millions on stadium expansions. Governments don't give cash to lose votes.
Sure, the government will give encouragement and Burnham may work with them on such a project but no cash will be forthcoming.
Ahh yes, but you didn't take into account they are a national treasure .There isn't a pups chance of the Rags getting any Government funding for their 'Wembley of the North' plan.

Don't underestimate the power of a sizable donation .....

The main reason is it is wrong.So no doubt it will get pushed through.There isn't a pups chance of the Rags getting any Government funding for their 'Wembley of the North' plan.

Not thick, but nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is. Being opinionated can mask a great deal - as you're aware.
I hear you, brother ;)
Your over complicating things government fund for stadium won’t affect anythingI was thinking earlier about this "fair and market value" comment, as i understand it lets assume we sign a deal for £50 million but the PL say it should only be £25 million then we dont lose the money coming in, it just means there will be an adjustment to reduce the difference.
So how does it work if the Rags get government funding towards a new stadium? Surely and club who has developed their own stadium at their own cost would have a valid claim against the "fair and market value".
