It's so tiring how often people get these little differences wrong, in the wording they use, that often make a big difference to what they are saying, isn't it?

I suspect they do know the difference but deliberately misinform people because that's the narrative most people have already bough into and want to believe.

I was surprised to find the Sun highlight the differences, quite accurately and fairly, in this article:

Most surprising thing is Mansour is now 50. Still looks like he is 15!
 
Flash Jordan: a chancer who got lucky setting up and selling a phoneshop business who then wasted it all on a vanity project at a football club.

Who cares what he thinks?

The fact that he isn't living a permanent happy retirement but talking bollocks on a radio show for a living tells you all you need to know about this big ego and his lack of judgement.

They have made profit most years Ashley has been there, financially they are in very good shape and will have plenty to spend before worrying about FFP.
 
Yep in the last 3 years they made about 29 Million a year = approx 90 Mill
Allowed 105 Million overspend in any 3 year period = 105 + 90 = 195 Million - if you sign players on ammortised 4 year contracts thats close to 800 Million expenditure on players and wages - not unsubstantial.
They'll have to increase their income to 100 Million next year to cover that expenditure so they don't breach the 105 losses set by FFP.
Expect some friendly Saudi Arabian sponsorship from the Saudi tourist board et al.

Fair enough, but the hard work will be getting star players to actually go to Newcastle. I think it will be a lot harder for them than it was for us.
 
Has Gordon Smart replaced that twat Goldstein? If so then I can listen to drive again.

They’re going to need to be very careful. The players they need to buy to keep them up won’t be the players required for the next level. To attract the initial group transfer fees and wages will be hiked. They will then need to get those off the books to push on, it won’t be easy. Also, the amortisation of players if a club goes balls deep in one window means their spending in those amortised contract years diminishes as they will be committed to hefty write downs and wages from year 2 on. As you say, Sponsorships will be a huge factor, let’s hope they are as forensically examined as ours were.

Edit, I know they’re not in there with guesswork but they will soon realise they’re not welcome at the top table, especially from the Yank owned clubs.
