Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[AV82EC]

Just to confuse this even more, isn’t the UEFA SCR reporting period Jan - Dec as opposed to PL PSR which is our financial year? Or have I misunderstood it?

The reactions of Big Ty and Vidigany are blowing up twirra.

Hmmm …. He’s a good man, Tyrone Mings. Really do wonder what he is aware of there.

Good luck to Jacob Ramsey though (although not against us). Always be one of us.

Presume he is suggesting that Ramsey might not have wanted to leave, but was told that he had to due to financial constraints?

Vibes from within the club not great (Mings, McGinn, even Emery), hardly a surprise. Start feeling sorry for ourselves though and this could be a very long season.

Need transfer window to end and Emery to galvinize the remaining group quickly.

If only they had your positive outlook.

He's a northsider, from the school of hard knocks (rather than Castleknock).

That's how I read it too.  Nothing conspiratorial, nothing we hadn't all already guessed, just that if PSR wasn't an issue, JJ would still be here. I doubt he asked for a move, but was told the club were happy to accept Newcastle's offer because we needed the profit.

I've seen plenty of Newcastle fans on social media making the point that what we've done with JJ is exactly what they did last season with Elliot Anderson, recognising that it sucks, they didn't want it to happen, and it's all down to PSR.

Why make him multiple contract offers if we were resigned to having to sell him?  I suppose PSR and SCR impacted on how much we could offer and Newcastle offered better terms. It's not quite the same as pushing him out the door.

No one is suggesting he was pushed out of the door, just that without PSR he'd probably still be here, new contract or not.  And that he probably didn't want to leave, all things considered.

It’s gutting to see him go. He was outstanding prior to his injury and a massive talent. All the best for the rest of your career.

I’m still quite convinced he’d of stayed had we have fought a little harder to keep him and taken a gamble on him rediscovering that form from two years ago if we didn’t face financial restrictions.

Time will tell if we’ve made a mistake, but even if we haven’t and he doesn’t quite fulfil his promise, these rules have removed that dream for both the player and the fans that one of their own has to be seen as lucrative quick financial fix.

[Steve67]

I think they were all sat down and told after the Manchester United game  that the financial constraints might mean that some of them would be leaving. Two or three of them have hinted as much, so there is no surprise here. It’s just a shame that somebody like Jacob need to leave whereas leeches like Dendoncker have suck us dry.

As for the contract situation, there were two or three well placed press releases that protected the club. We don’t know the half!

[Richard E]

Why is Dendoncker a ‘leech’? He didn’t force the club to give him the contract it did.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah that’s nonsense. We might want him gone, but he’s been given the contract.
