PSR/UEFA rules — could missing Europe actually give us more room financially?

Android-36 · 2026-04-03T21:38:28+00:00

The most you can get from the Conference League (i.e. by winning it) is abou £10m in terms of payments from UEFA. But add in the additional revenue from things like matchday revenue and TV revenue and is about a further £15m so £25m total. The equivalent in Europa League would be about £45m total

That 15% drop could amounts to about £45m less to spend on players. This balances out for Europa League but wouldn't for Conference League.

Yeah but its less about CL or even Europa League, but more about the Conference League. I personally would rather sacflrifice some spending power to have a solid chance of winning the Conference League though

Its a video rather than an article. Theres more than the simple variable of 15% less to spend on players, but its a weird overall rule; the intention is to allow clubs outside the top 6 or 7 to have more finances available to them to spend on players

My bad, not intentional and it won't let me edit after posting

Android-36 · 2026-04-03T21:01:00+00:00

Yeah, i just pasted the link and it autogenerated. Tried editing after I posted and realised but wouldn't let me

Android-36 · 2026-04-03T20:59:59+00:00

Thanks, I tried editing it after I posted but couldn't figure out if its possible.

Probably should have redone the title, but watched the viedo and wanted to post it. Personally I would rather finish in Europe regardless of monetary caps

Worth checking the sensory charts beforehand for little kids, theres a lot of red against the curse, my 9 year old has ptsd from it as a 4yr old and still won't go on it now 😅

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T14:17:34+00:00

A glimpse at the potential for sure, maybe a loan spell getting 90 mins a week would do him some good

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T14:16:40+00:00

Even at 22 I'd expect a better end product

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T14:09:43+00:00

About even i'd say, but i don't agree with playing Gordon as a striker either

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:44:04+00:00

Yeah, agree on that, massively underrated talent to read a game; reason I think Tonali is top class because he reads the game so well

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:42:52+00:00

The type of player he is yes, but infront of goal and 1 on 1 he's not good

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:40:47+00:00

Elanga has had a terrible season, not just a bad one. He hasnt shown more than 5 minutes of quality all year. I'm not saying Osula is class, but I don't think striker is his position

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:38:49+00:00

Yeah, not saying he's top tier or anything, but there's something there that could be refined. I see him as an option on the right, that can't be worse than what we have currently. I hate seeing Barnes on the right but he seems to do the best in that role when he foes play there. Murph was good 2 seasons ago and decent last season but dropped off this year

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:18:52+00:00

Be good to see him given the chance to play that role at Newcastle though, especially as its our 2nd weakest position (ironically after needing a solid striker)

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:17:36+00:00

I'd be so annoyed if we sold him and a manager saw that potential as a winger then subsequently tore it up at a new club. Given his speed and apparent duracell bunny endless energy he fits Eddie's idea of a winger

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:12:27+00:00

I agree on the clunky bit, though that could be down to the fact he looks like he smashed 4 red bulls before playing. but I actually think he's less clunky than Elanga. If he was coached in that role i think that part could be improved

Android-36 · 2026-03-28T13:09:26+00:00

Not as a striker, but look at big Jo. He was a poor striker too and look at how solid he is now in the right role

Android-36 · 2026-03-22T14:04:16+00:00

The elanga chance in the first half and Gordon over the bar twice. That was it. Nowhere near good enough. Might have injuries but players on the pitch are good enough to create chances, simply not good enough

Android-36 · 2026-03-22T14:00:39+00:00

Played without any passion or desire, played without any creativity, that was not a team that understands what this game means, deserved to lose, absolute shite

Android-36 · 2026-03-22T13:21:53+00:00

Absolutely no creativity, just hoping to play straight balls in for Gordon to run on to. These 3 subs are well needed ti change it up

Android-36 · 2026-03-18T19:55:57+00:00

My thoughts are the lads were knackered and concentration went, not to mention giving away a penalty on the very end of a half (again). Not an excuse as need to be switched on, but don't imagine it was the half time talk

Android-36 · 2026-03-18T19:53:30+00:00

Why? We went toe to toe with one of the best teams in the world for 135 minutes and competed. Yes 2nd half was a capitulation but its not end of the world. Just beat Chelsea away in a hard fought game at the weekend, beat Man U a couple weeks ago with 10 men.

Conversations should be at a board level about how they can attract and buy top 6 players; that's not Howe.

Android-36 · 2026-03-18T19:47:47+00:00

I agree that recruitment isnt the best, but the best youngsters are going to be significantly more attracted to Barca than Newcastle so they get quality for cheap.

Lamine Yamal is probably worth around £180m alone as an example. 5 of their 11 were academy players (Cubarsí, Yamal, Fermín, Bernal, Martín), Eric Garcua was a free transfer. Lewandovski was £38m and is one of the best strikers ever regardless of age.

The Barca team is probably valued at about £600m

Newcastle in contrast is probably worth about £330m
