Newcastle United continue to be held back by PSR.
The Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules are hindering Newcastle United, with PIF unable to invest the amount of money they would want.
It was a huge problem during the summer, while it is also going to be an issue in January. It has been reported that Newcastle will look to sell Miguel Almiron, and his exit could open the door for the Magpies to sign a replacement.
But for as long as PSR exists, Newcastle United know they need to boost their revenue. They need to bring more money into the club, whilst ensuring the money they are spending is used as wisely as possible.

It sounds like Newcastle United may need to sell to buy in January 2025.
However, a new update suggests the club could look to sell players regardless of whether or not reinforcements arrive.
According to the Athletic, people inside Newcastle United believe it could be a good idea to move fringe players on in January to reduce their wage budget.
That would create more room for future spending, as it would reduce the amount of money going out of the club.
One example would be Isaac Hayden, who is still on the Magpies’ books, despite not being part of Eddie Howe’s Premier League squad.

The futures of ageing players like Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and Martin Dubravka is also up in the air.
What Newcastle will look to do long-term to help PSR
That is something that Newcastle United can do in the short-term to improve their PSR position.
Long-term, the Magpies will be looking to sign more young players who they can develop through coaching or loan spells, before integrating them into the first-team or selling them for a profit.
However, that will take a bit of time, as Newcastle start to recruit those sorts of players. Vakhtang Salia is an example, with the Georgian teenager set to join the club in the summer of 2025.
Another long-term solution is the stadium.
Newcastle COO Brad Miller has said a new stadium could double the club’s revenue, as they consider leaving St James’ Park.
TBR Football’s finance expert Adam Williams has told Geordie Boot Boys that a new stadium could help increase Newcastle’s revenue to £200million, which would transform the club’s finances.
However, there is the emotional attachment to St James’ Park that club officials must take into consideration. They will be doing just that, as they weigh up their next move in 2025.
But that is something that will only help Newcastle United in the distant future. When it comes to short-term planning, getting rid of fringe players and reducing the wage budget will certainly help the Magpies’ PSR position.
