The aftermath - Man City’s legal battle with the Premier League and what this means for Newcastle United
A preview of the latest Geordie Journos episode which tackles the aftermath of Manchester City’s landmark legal battle with the Premier League.
Shots! and Geordie Journos have partnered up to bring you a dedicated Newcastle United show every Monday at 10:30pm on Freeview channel 262.
NewcastleWorld and Shields Gazette editor Liam Kennedy, alongside Newcastle United writers Dominic Scurr and Jordan Cronin, make up the Geordie Journos. Each week they will provide regular news, analysis and reaction to events taking place at St James’ Park.
Despite having zero football coverage to discuss due to the international break, there has been plenty to discuss - as ever - on Tyneside. Stadium dilemmas aside, Manchester City’s legal battle with the Premier League - and what it could mean for the Magpies - has become a hot topic.
The Associated Party Transaction Rules introduced following Newcastle’s takeover were deemed unlawful - with Toon chiefs now paying a tentative eye to what happens next. Could the Magpies now dine out on lavish sponsorship deals funded by PIF? Has the Saudi takeover finally received a silver bullet to help tackle FFP/PSR restrictions?
A meeting between all Premier League clubs is set to take place this week following the APT outcome. Away from the legal jargon, the lads also look ahead to Newcastle’s return to Premier League action against Brighton & Hove Albion at St James’ Park this Saturday (3pm kick-off). Eddie Howe’s men are winless in three Premier League fixtures and welcome the Seagulls to the North East to commence a tricky run of games.
