    are you sure of this. If this was the case then why are not other clubs doing it ?

    It's SCMP that applies to us this season and there's an easy way for them around that via donations and injections of equity (loans are not allowed)

    If they were personally putting 50million in my pocket I still wouldn't stand for that.

    I didn't think it was allowed. Irrelevant anyway under SCMP

    why is re-naming the stadium for a fee not allowed for us then? Surely its just sponsorship innit?

    I was talking about an owner using it as way around FFP by sponsoring it themselves.

    I thought most clubs did. The bigger ones anyway. As to whether its a way round FFP, I don't know for sure.

    surely the new consortium would have lucrative contacts to get sponsorships way beyond CK Beckett

    I've no idea. I was commenting on the OPs suggestion that the owners themselves pay 10million as a way around financial fair play

    would be nice, but I do not think £10million is needed to be honest.

    I saw somewhere that the Football League(and maybe the Premier League) have rules about owner sponsorship when it comes to FFP and SCMP. Basically, they have a "going rate" for things like stadium and kit sponsorship, so even if an owner "paid" the club £100m to sponsor the stadium for a month, the league would only count said "going rate" when working out FFP/SCMP.

    Yes, I believe this to be the case. They have general benchmark figures what is to be classed as market value of deals. Some may push the boundaries a bit - Man Utd & Man City etc, due to the size of the clubs, but it protects against daft deals.
