Here’s an estimate of the revenue Newcastle will likely receive for the current financial year 2016-2017 when we were in the Championship and it will be interesting to those with a financial disposition – hopefully.
🙂
I worked it out and so we’ll put it out in an article and see how close we are when the revenues are announced maybe early next year.
It was estimated at the beginning of last season the parachute payment Newcastle would receive from the Premier League last month would be around £40M and it’s come in quite close to that.
Newcastle United banked almost £41M in the first (and only) parachute payment from the Premier League last month.
Managing Director Lee Charnley
Since we received £7.1M from the Championship – the exact same amount as the other 23 clubs in England’s second division – Newcastle got £48M from league payments from the Premier League and the Championship.
The reports made public yesterday are that Newcastle received £19.416M of the domestic Premier League TV money and £21.5M of the overseas TV deal, which amounts to £40,915,922 – let’s call it £41M.
We estimate the revenues for Newcastle for the 2016-2017 financial year which ends at the end of this month will be around £92M – about £48M from the leagues and about £44M from the other two sources of income – commercial revenue and match-day revenues.
That’s assuming about a 10% drop from the previous year for revenues from commercial and match-day revenues approximately.
So this is what the last 10 years of revenues for Newcastle under owner Mike Ashley will look like.
If we had stayed up and say finished 10th in the Premier League last season under Rafa we would have received 120M from the Premier League whisk is what West Brom received in May for finishing in 10th place.
So the amount from the premier League would have been an additional £72M (£48M+£72M = £120M) from the Premier League than the £48M we received from the Championship and (the parachute payment) from the PL.
So in that sense you could say Newcastle lost at least £72M because of relegation last year – but of course we also had to break up the team and sell some of our best players like Gini Wijnaldum, so it was a huge upheaval for Newcastle.
Let’s hope we don’t have any more relegation for decades to come!
Newcastle and Rafa Benitez did brilliantly in getting straight back up and back in the big money in just one season – absolutely terrific!

Comment #3Still don’t get why Sammy and Vern didn’t go for a fee, I would have thought Vern would be worth £5m to a lot of clubs and Sammy probably £3m+
i realise that they’d possibly need to sign new contracts to be able to sell them on.
And that it is a generous move by the club to let them go for nowt but even so!!

Comment #4Essex its simple really the player would have to be in demand for the correct fee and then the player would want to move. If we signed Vern up to a new contract on 40k a week and nobody is willing to buy him at 3m we have him on our books at 40k a week. Also if a club does want to buy him will they meet his contract demands and will he want to move. The best way is to release these type of players so they dont stay on the books. Gouff should be gone also I hope.

Comment #6does anyone publish a list of all ( at least Premier league ) club signings or outgoings so far ?
I doubt it amounts to much volume so while there is activity and gossip we are not alone in actual confirmed signings

Comment #8Interesting article. Gate and match-day income was £27m in 2015 – which may be worth taking into consideration on top of the Parachute & Championship payment.
I was not aware the club had received up front payments from the PL for the coming season.
AncientC
Jun 13, 2017 at 5:10 PM
Comment #9My mistake, match day income was included. In that case, the revenue looks too high. The club only receives £6 million per year from Wonga.

Comment #12£41 million league money + £6 million Wonga + £24 million Gates. (approximately)
£71 million Revenue. That is less than half of what it should be, considering the club is big enough that it shouldn’t be enduring relegations… also deducting the amount of lost revenue from Ashley’s pilfering on advertising.

Comment #13Tottenham, which is a club I use to gauge where the club could be under a better owner.
“Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 was at a record level of £209.8m, an increase of 7% on the prior year (2015: £196.4m).”

Comment #16The thing with a player like Mitro is that he’s only going to thrive in a team set up to make the most of his strengths. Rafa is big on having his teams able to switch formations several times during a game, and he himself stated that he wouldnt try that with us in the season just gone as he knows it takes a certain level of player and experience to be able to do it. Might explain the sort of players we are going to bring in but we wont know who the team will be until the window closes!
Think of what he did with Dirk Kuyt. Turned him from an average striker to a superb LM/front man who grafted his erm, socks off quietly and efficiently. The lad is still playing now at a decent level too. So we might end up with a team of grafters and maybe a sole ‘flair’ player if we’re lucky. No complaints from me mind, I trust Rafa implicitly.

Comment #22An excellent discussion on here today. I’m enjoying it. The revenue isn’t as bad as I feared it would be but that’s mostly due to the parachute payment. We clearly lost tens of millions by being relegated but what else would we expect? Ashley has been a disaster and the only saving grace has been the hiring of Rafa. One good move and an ocean of bad moves including enough mistakes to get us relegated twice. Remember the days just a few years ago when Spurs were floundering? And look at them now. That’s what we’ve got to aim for with Rafa.

Comment #23And the 0.5 signings per team is where a Belgian midget striker comes in for us JackBall mate. Simples.

Jun 13, 2017 at 6:13 PM
Comment #24I’m also still very curious as to why we let Anita go early. We could have waited until later in June and then either released him or tried to extend his contract. This suggests to me that there is something in the works that is nearly complete for a DM. At any right we’re also weak at LB, AMF and striker. Surely there are deals in the works by now that will be announced by July 1? If not I will start to get a bit worried.

Comment #29G2,
I get your point and Anita did some good work for us, but I don’t think finding a replacement of at least equal quality will be that hard. His versatility made him valuable, but it was also his weakness in that he was just a bit below par at both RB and Mid.

Comment #30Jack, Atsu ain’t much bigger than him so he must be the .5 player every team should currently have bought. Good value –
exactly what we paid for. Thought he was a bit cheap…
GeordieTwo
Jun 13, 2017 at 6:33 PM
Comment #31Who are you thinking we might get to replace Anita JackBall? And what would we have to spend I wonder? We need a real worker in there. And what do we do with Jack Coldbacon? Is he worth keeping? He has been so disappointing for a while now. In fact many of the squad have been disappointing or we would have run away with the Championship.

Comment #32I’m not disappointed we picked up Atsu Bobby mate. In that list of player releases by lochinvar there were some interesting names. I assume some of the better players would want huge wages but are any of them worth a shout?

I just wanted to know where you got your information from mate, I hadn’t seen or read anything about Mitro being disruptive, nothing about him not listening to coaches. I get he’s not a rafa type of forward, that makes perfect sense.
Any links as I’ve tried to find it online and can’t seem to pinpoint where it’s come from. If he’s not following instructions of coaches then he simply needs to go but if you can’t provide the source of the information then I’ll call it what it is

Jun 13, 2017 at 6:46 PM
Comment #34It’s a good point Our Toon. Mitro really divides the posters on here. I would rather sell him because of his lack of pace but possibly it’s too soon and he should be given another chance. If he has a terrible season for us in the Prem however most of his remaining sell-on value will be lost I would think.

Comment #37Just looked up wor Ginger Jack. He’s estimated to be worth 6M euros, down from 7.5M euros a couple of seasons back. Would we really get that much for him? His contract expires in two more years. If we could get 6M for him I would snatch your hand off. That would just about pay for Atsu.

Comment #38G2 I honestly think the time for guessing went a long time ago mate! Rafa will already have given Penfold his list if first, second and third choices some time ago. Penfold has to also get the best deal for the club, so it’s not as simple as just buy regardless.
I’m curious about the Robertson and Maguire story though. I would not be surprised if we bought them under the radar, because whoever it is has done good work there. Two players most would happily take.

Sorry mate u won’t find that information on Google what coaches will ever let that information get into the papers if they can help it? Ull have to get out in town and talk to those who met Rafa
U can gather some info about Mitro from a few podcasts with those who met him but most of it was off the record so they can’t say much

Comment #40Re: Atsu and Mitro
Not sure. Like I said, I think he did his work, but he did nothing spectacularly. We need a RB to challenge Yedlin and a defensive mid equal to or better than Hayden, so that we have cover there. True, the combo won’t come cheep, but 20 mil for the two positions should find the combo that would be an improvement. Saw that Dummet was only valued at Sub 3 mill. A back up to Yedlin in his mode would be fine. Add a #10 (15-20 Mil), a left wing (10 Mil), and we have a team. True, at 45 mil, we don’t have much left for cover for Shelvy, but it is a start. Whatever we do in Goal shoud be a net zero spend. I also think the same could be said for a striker. I would take my chances with Mitro and Gayle, but would sell Gayle first as crazy as that sounds – his hammy scares me. Selling Murphy should pay for the loan deal of a striker, but the sale of Mitro or Gayle, plus Murphy, can cover a replacement. I am content with our CB’s, but, the sale of one plus a few mil, could possibly buy an improvement. We could also use a RB, but may have used up our budget.
