Ambition, Newcastle style

[blades58]

"Newcastle admit they took a "financial gamble" to win promotion back to the Premier League, with their wage bill in the 2016-17 season the highest in Football League history.

New figures show they paid wages of £112.2m, almost double the Championship's other promoted clubs, Brighton and Huddersfield, combined.

The club lost £90.9m that year.

The Magpies said the approach was "only possible" because of the "financial support" of owner Mike Ashley."

Makes one wonder how this FFP really works, because I can't see for the life of me how they can lose £90m and still come out of it ok?

I would never want SUFC to do this just give CW a fighting chance and not live off scraps.

Isn't it an average over 3 seasons....and they are a Prem team after 1? That appears to be the gamble.

B58, Wendy seem to have found a way round probably to do with the non-existant shirt makers and some dodgy sponserships.
