Newcastle have officially lost PSR insurance option as £63m announcement looms

One option Newcastle United could have executed to ease their PSR issues is no longer available to them.

In order to make it under the Premier League’s three-year permitted loss cap of £105 million by June 30, when the PSR (formerly known as FFP) assessment window closes, the Magpies are working feverishly.

Due to this, the club supported by the Saudi Public Investment Fund is attempting to arrange quasi-swap agreements in order to increase the earnings from player sales under PSR.

One player that was the focus of one of these alleged trades involving Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Everton is Yankuba Minteh, estimated at £40 million, a guy Newcastle is now eager to get off the books.

Newcastle has no chance of avoiding a PSR breach without player sales, and the most recent study from a top specialist explains why.

Newcastle will announce £63m loss without player sales

Swiss Ramble, a well-known football finance blogger, projects that Newcastle will report an operational loss of £63 million in 2023–2024 if no player transactions are successful.

Swiss Ramble emphasizes that this is only an estimate, but even a considerable margin of error suggests that Newcastle must make a substantial profit from player sales in order to continue being in compliance with PSR.

Swiss Ramble acknowledged that there were other factors that could have resulted to a lower actual sum, but the research ultimately determined that the precise value was £65 million.

Newcastle must sell players in any case.

Supporters will also hope that the club’s negotiators are working hard behind the scenes as June 30th draws near, since five first-team players with varying moral philosophies are among those who may be sacrificed.

Remarkably, the most recent assertion made by another expert in football financing implies that June 30th will be a strict deadline.

Newcastle cannot change accounting date

Former Man City advisor Stefan Borson asserted in a post on X that Newcastle will not be formally permitted to alter their year-end accounting date in order to extend their compliance period with PSR.

This is a result of the Magpies having altered their accounting date—to June 2022, to be precise—during the previous five years.

Since Companies House only allows businesses to alter their accounting date up to that point, the Tynesiders are not able to take advantage of that specific insurance option.
