PL set to introduce ban on incoming loans between associated party clubs

[halfcenturyup]

It doesn't have to be legal. The PL and the clubs can bring it in, Newcastle take them to a court and 3 years later that court rules it illegal. So what ? The jobs done, Newcastle didn't get whatsisname on loan in January and didn't get top 4 in May. The red tops and the yanks are happy.

You could ask for an injunction to stay the rule pending decision? If the PL didn't accept that, then lose, they could get sued for tens or hundreds of millions, I imagine.

A bye product of Brexit. EU gave football a free pass on restrictive trade, but our courts won’t. Have we changed our law in that regard yet? If not, EU rules still apply.

City abstained from the last temporary vote on sponsorships allegedly on the grounds that they'd been told the whole thing was illegal and wouldn't stand up in court.

Obviously we have a vested interest in related party sponsorships so maybe it was just an excuse to sit on the fence, but maybe it was true.

It’s their potential to rewrite the rules that is a clear danger.

IMO it's pretty simple, the rules should be set at the beginning of every season. If the 20 clubs want to get together in August and vote through rule changes, that's 100% OK, everyone is getting the same treatment and everyone is entering the competition knowing the rules they're playing under.

You should not be able to change rules midway through the season because Newcastle lost Tonali for 10 months and might exploit a loophole - one several other clubs have used over the years.

I can’t remember properly but the proposal defined related party very broadly, much wider than the IAS definition. A clear indication that it was an attempt to clip our wings. I’m sure if we said we had legal advice that it would not stand up in court then it was true as we might be asked to produce the advice letter.
Newcastle voted against, all the rest voted for. Spitter said: “I wonder why City were against it?” Leopards and spots.

Good point and in some way I hope it happens. We have been to accommodating with the PL. It would be great for someone to take them on.

Loans should be there for players gaining experience and covering short term injuries.

Instead of this weird, probably illegal solution, why not cap it to players under 25 or 21? Then younger players gain experience.

The Saudis could easily terminate Neves’ contract if he’s willing to go to Newcastle for 6 months, sign an 18 month deal and sell him back to Saudis for however much his salary cost to pay up.

Part of me hopes they do if this restriction is voted through.

There should be no temporary rules. Anything temporary usually implies rushed and ill-thought through. Absolute shambles if this is passed

Coinciding nicely with the success of Girona :-)

My thoughts exactly.

Real and Barca will be trying to screw them over with a little help from our redshirts. All cheeks of the same establishment arse.
