Colos Short and Curlies

Jokes on you, I'm an old bastard FCA ha

The 2 poorer qualifications then

It does make sense in a way.... Let's say you sell someone for £60m profit in June then if it was 1 year recognition you would lose it straight away. Spread it over 3 years and the club has a chance to recycle it into new signings. Still think it should be gross fee though and not profit. Maybe take any amortisation in the year you sell and the fee over 3, deterrent against flipping Edit, overall the scr are a lot easier to work out and give less room for Man U shenanigans

It's basically transfer fee divided by length of contract with adjustments for new contracts or where there is a reason to devalue the player. The rest is accounting jargon that says follow the accounting rules

Hmmm a bit of a Google search would suggest that amortisation is included in the scr for both UEFA and the premier league. It seems a tad unfair that you include it in your costs and then have to deduct any unamortized value from a transfer fee.

I See 4/5 going one of 2 ways. It either stays really tight with 4-8 being much of a muchness through to the final sprint and the points needed to achieve CL being lower that average as we all take points off each other Or 2-3 teams pull away as the grind of the season takes hold with it being close between 4-6 and a higher than average points total needed. I know that's real deep thinking there I think the second is more likely, potentially even City and us stepping up and everyone else dropping off a bit. Liverpool City Arsenal Us Chelsea Forest (3 game losing streak knocks them off their stride and then an inconsistent run in with more draws than anything else) Bournemouth Villa LC - Us, beating Liverpool in the final FA Cup - City

Disclaimer on costs continuing after the first year but we could service £100m of purchases on £20m sale profit. The key for this summer is CL, we had a bump last season on revenue for it which was then replaced with the Adidas deal this year so getting I'm again will be a good bump up again. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a break in the Sela deal after next year. We would be well placed to justify a further jump from the £25m deal with 2 cl campaigns under the belt and having one of the most high profile players on the world wearing the number 9. Fuck it, pay to break the deal this summer and go all out with a new partner or increased Sela fee for next year

Lampard ideally

What's that day called where arsenal fans celebrate finishing above Spurs? (Pettiness I'm all for). Must be on for a record in earliness this year. Also see that Southampton cannot win the league now, again isy be pretty close to a record on when the first team was mathematically out of the race

Would Kluivert be an option for a RW/striker in the summer? A lot of recent bias over the past few weeks but he's steadily grown into a more than decent premier league player and only 25.

Defending was shite but the header for their goal was decent

cue City and Chelsea…. Hold my beer

Prediction time…..another quiet summer window and the likes of Palace, Brighton and Brentford will start to change their stance on the limits as they see their business model begin to fall apart. we’re going to see the bigger teams start looking to buy from South America etc rather than wait and pay a premium from a PL club so double whammy in having more competition to buy and a smaller market to sell in. Brighton’s last windfall drops out after next season and I don’t see another £80m duo there atm

Go back to last summer and Karius leaving left us with Pope, Dubs and Gillespie. Given the showings Dubs gave last season most of us would have agreed that our GK department needed some reinforcements. Obviously nobody so that being Ruddy and Vlad but the position needed looking at
