I heard Simon Jordan say they can easily spend 500m without any FFP issues. It's because they have been running in profit over the last few years.Depends who the manager is. They’ll have the same problem as us though in that FFP will hamper them more than it has City etc. They’ll not be buying people like Mbappe but the lesser tier players in the PL like Zaha, Maddison, Dunk etc are probably viable.
You're taking the PIF.Off the top of my head:
Tchaomeni £50 million
Curtis Jones £75 million
Trevor Chalobah £35 million
I think theres also an element of remembering these owners are a little more hamstrung than Roman and the Sheikh were at the time of buying. FFP and that bollocks. I think the talk of Haaland, Kane, Mbappe, and that stuff is nonsenseMartial

The Salah calls are baffling. No way is he leaving dippers in his prime. Some of you need a reality check.
They're not going to go out and sign Neymar and Mbappe in January. Bearing in mind they're 2nd from bottom in a league where at least 3 big teams will miss out on Champions League each year. They're going to need to build year on year, I think they said the aim was a PL in 5-10 years so the first few seasons will be to reinforce with PL quality players.The Newcastle fans will be back on the streets protesting if any of that lot are their "statement of intent" signings.
