Beat me to it .... THE most obvious response!
I could see them being in for the likes of Clyne, Lovren, Milner, Lallana & Shaqiri - looking for some experienced players in the PL to be part of a squad along side some bigger bets they'd make. I can't see them initially being in for big money PL based signings without this foundation.
40 million - they'll overpay.
Are you both missing a 0 at the end? They’re Trillionaires that need rinsing.
In typical Newcastle style.

Robinho and not Berbatov
FFP is going to have to be relaxed because of COVID so now might be the perfect time for Newcastle to begin spending
Why does it have to be relaxed - have clubs come in to money they previously didn’t have, to spend on new players?
FFP is based on the amount of losses a club makes which is a function of how much they spend (wages, transfer fees, other costs) and how much they bring in (gate receipts, sponsorship money, merch sales etc). Clubs are all losing a lot of money at the moment due to COVID (lost gate receipts, merch sales, sponsorship penalties).
It is, therefore, potentially possibly that a club may fall foul of FFP, even if they spend next to nothing on transfers. That is why FFP may be (should be) relaxed

It only applies to teams in Europe doesn’t it?
In any case - it makes no sense to allow clubs to spend more money if their loses are greater.
If anything it should encourage clubs to be more prudent.
Relaxing FFP would give the likes of City an even bigger advantage over ever other team, wouldn’t it?
If anything, FFP rules should be tightened and extended - football survives this by reducing the amount of money spent on transfer fees, wages, agent fees, etc.
From an article over a year ago:
"The Premier League has brought in its own form of financial regulation which is not as stringent as Uefa's FFP.
Clubs cannot make a loss in excess of £105m across the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons (as with FFP, investment in infrastructure and youth development is exempt).
Any club that posts losses in excess of that figure could face severe penalties, including a points deduction.
A loss between £15m and £105m has to be guaranteed by club owners."

The bitters are fucked then
Hasn't Milner said he'd like a last hurrah back at Leeds where he's from, or was that speculation by others? I could see him returning there to try and help them establish themselves back in the top flight. A move back to Newcastle might be less likely unless they offer him silly money, and even then I'm not sure he'd go - Citeh offered him more than we did to stay with them.
There's also FFP which wasn't really s factor when City started out.
Speculation. He says in his book something along the lines that he'd like it, but a number of factors would have to be right to make it happen & that he's happy here. Hints throughout the book that he wants to coach & loves doing so with the younger players, & I can't think any player wouldn't want to learn that in our current setup.
Tell that to GOD
Robbie Fowler or Gem Trails?
