AGM 2020

[Martip]

Oh, we absolutely be pulled for that. It is 100% in the regs that they can declare it as a breach of FFP.

I dont see how tbh as how can they decide what the first refusal is worth or even what the naming right should cost long term ?

USM is not owned by Moshiri and if Everton have have done what looks like a good business deal I cant see how they can influence that free trade.

[Polledreng]

To be fair the market value relates to related party transactions. Makes me laugh that PL think a  non shareholder is a related party. I can't stop laughing at the fools in the PL..

The definition in IAS24  states quit clear

A related party is a person or an entity that is related to the reporting entity: A person or a close member of that person's family is related to a reporting entity if that person has control, joint control, or significant influence over the entity or is a member of its key management personnel.

We should bloody sue the PL

[van der Meyde]

Well, a study 2 years ago showed that the king power stadiums naming rights would be worth £2.7m.
Arsenal signed a deal originally for shirts & stadium naming that came out around £2.8m for the naming rights back in 04.
Spurs stadium naming rights is worth exactly zero, looking at things.

Spurs holding out for £25m a year, I believe.

Wonder if Everton could try to argue that Bramley Moore's location - city centre, waterfront, exposure to cruises docking in Liverpool for the day, etc - could bump up the value slightly. Probably not much, but worth an argument, I suppose.

This is why city got away with 400m sponsorship from the Emirates.

Surely regardless of the loopholes we can all agree 30m for old rope is quite clearly a bungabunga and a joke, even if we don't mind it

  totaly agree  and going by this number I think its only a matter of time before Usmanov is a related party in real life…….

the 30 mill.  has nothing to do with the naming - just an option to enter negotiations about naming rights…..   So as @brap2  said - we have got 30 mill for old rope - so my guess is the namings right will exceed Spurs  - probably by quiet a margin

[Mick 1995]

Sorry, i meant "CAN" be pulled, not that we would. Missed that word out.

And yeah, this is absolutely a case of "getting around FFP".

But when Moshiri came in, we all looked at each other and agreed that we would have to "find a way around FFP" didnt we?
This is what it looks like.

[Confucius]

All these figures are so arbitrary. Players being sold for 100M and TV deals in the billions.

Trying to rationalize it is almost impossible..

Let the uber wealthy fling money around and launder to their content. They have always been doing it and will continue to do it.

[Trowel]

Could in fact be the very reason he's not; I don't think any financial rule will ever be able to cover a 3rd party sponsor who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Usmanov isn't part of our football club, he's someone unrelated to it with no shares, so if we say it's costs x or y millions for something and he pays it then more power to us.

I don't see how the premier League can penalise us for making a good deal even if it's a bad deal for the person stumping up that cash.

As a club it's our right to make good deals that benefit the club to the maximum financial gain possible, and that's what we're doing.  Can't see any way the Pemier League can penalise is for that, just because the businessman in question is mates with our owner... There's no law against rinsing your mate in a deal, we want £30m and he's willing to pay it? That's good business!

There is a law though. A specific one to stop financial doping.
Thankfully, the powers that be are limp wristed when it comes to pubishments.

And then along came Everton..

Sure but who's to say paying for first dibs on naming rights isn't a thing? Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean it's not a good idea. 

They'd have a hard job proving we've never had any interest in using anyone else for the naming rights, and I'm sure we'd be more than happy to accept another £30m from a couple of other suiters who also want to have a chance to bid on naming rights.

Apparently these first options aren’t unheard of in other industries.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense... I could see an issue with doing something weird like paying £10m a year to have their branding on the goal posts of our training pitch, but paying up front for the right to bid on a stadium's naming rights seems fair and actually smart business.
