How much could Newcastle United earn from their final position in this season’s Premier League?
Newcastle United’s battle with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations has been an ongoing topic of conversation for the last two seasons.
From the moment the Magpies were forced into the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson to Brighton and Nottingham Forest respectively, every transfer rumour and move has been caveated with the possible implications for the club’s current PSR position. The British transfer record sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool last summer has gone some way to easing any concerns - although United did spend big in their preparations for the current season as the likes of Yoane Wissa, Nick Woltemade, Jacob Ramsey and Anthony Elanga all moved to St James Park.
Newcastle’s on and off-field performance can aid their battle against PSR and there are high hopes the club can increase their income from commercial activities over the coming years with further news awaited over a new training ground and the long-term future of St James Park. Looking at on-field matters, progressing into the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in their history will bring a lucrative reward and so can finishing in the upper reaches of the Premier League this season as we await the introduction of the league’s new ‘squad cost ratio’ ahead of next season.
