You posted this about Eddie Howe, you clearly know your onions;
Always thought it was a strange one him going to the spl, he seems to have a decent reputation in England so why would he want to go manage in that league when he will probably end up with another premier league job soon. I think he’s massively overated mind

Amanda Staveley wants Sports Direct branding removed in two weeks​



Staveley said she hoped the moratorium on new deals will be lifted “as quickly as possible” to allow the club to take down the banners at St James’ Park which are still in place as part of the sale agreement with former owner Mike Ashley.

Any sponsorship contracts with related parties will have to be approved by the Premier League under proposals agreed in principle by the clubs to ensure they are not artificially inflated.


Staveley, the club’s 10 per cent shareholder, is one of the members of a Premier League working party that was set up following Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s takeover of Newcastle. The temporary ban was brought in by rival clubs fearing a transfer and wages arms race in the Premier League if huge new sponsorship deals with Saudi companies are done.


Staveley, who also revealed she hopes to buy Audrey Hepburn’s estate as a personal investment next week, said: “We’re working on them now. We’re hoping that the moratorium will end.

“It is in the Premier League’s control but we will be seeking to do sponsorship deals as fast as possible. That does not stop us from working on them, getting ready for that time now. So it is really important.
“The moratorium was a shock. We did not expect that to happen. How could you imagine that all commercial deals would be off.
“The fight on this moratorium was so difficult for us because all our revenues were so low. We want everyone to try and understand we’ve really taken a big battering. And so I’m hoping that we’ll get this lifted as quickly as possible.
“And then, the Sports Direct signage will come off. I’m looking forward to that coming down. It’s a slight frustration when I go into the stand and I try and take a picture which doesn’t have Sports Direct.”
The working party is made up of representatives of eight clubs — the others are Manchester City, Manchester United, Everton, Arsenal, Burnley, Aston Villa and Chelsea.
The proposed new system for sponsorship deals which would require pre-approval from the Premier League’s board to ensure they are of fair market value and not inflated because of links between the club and the sponsor.
At the moment, sponsorship deals are only treated as related party deals if they are reported as such in the club’s annual accounts. The proposals would provide a broader definition of such related party deals rather than leave it to the clubs to self-report such relationships.
Staveley was speaking after a meeting of Premier League shareholders in London where clubs were told that the bidding for the American TV rights has gone into a second round. The league had been on course for a 50 per cent rise in the first round but the intense competition from three big broadcasters means it could get close to doubling in value from the $1 billion paid by NBC for 2016-22 to around $2 billion (£1.5 billion) for 2022-28.

​


All 20 Premier League clubs unanimously opposed Fifa’s proposal for biennial men’s World Cups, along with any plans which will “significantly extend” international windows.
Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, said: “The Premier League is committed to preventing any radical changes to the post-2024 Fifa international match calendar that would adversely affect player welfare and threaten the competitiveness, calendar, structures and traditions of domestic football.
“We are open to reforms and new ideas, but they must enhance the complementary balance between domestic and international football in order to improve the game at all levels.”

Wow Eddie is so radical with his ideas. I have no doubt Bruce did similair but didn't fit the narrative. Since time began teams have been going out for food / on the piss.

Cringeworthy.

I think it began with Qatar didn't it?

From memory Barca always said that they'd never allow sponsorship on the shirt because it was actually the Catalan flag and sacrosanct.

Then the big sponsorship deals started and they realised they'd be at a disadvantage.
So they allowed UNICEF to go in their shirts for free for a couple of seasons, but it was really just softening people up for a sponsor.

They then signed a huge deal with the Qatar Foundation on the grounds that it was a charitable organisation. The fact that it was accompanied by an enormous amount money was downplayed.

Mate, if this goes tits up the whole Internet will become comedy gold.

Just imagine all of those NUFC fans who have signed the petition and supported the KSA hoying a backlash at them?
All of the points made by everybody that they've said "are not their responsibility" would be used by them to attack an owner "not fit to be the custodian of wa klerb".

The amount of spin they'd come out with would make a politician blush.

Interesting that Spurs can spend double the amount Newcastle can.

It's disgusting really.
I hate the mags, but ffp is there to stop anyone joining the elite.
Initially brought in so clubs couldn't go under, that has gone out of the window.

If these clubs put things in place so no one can join them, it's about time football was fairer and a wage cap and spending cap was given to all clubs
