Colos Short and Curlies

Just thought, did the 5 year rule come in after we bought him? If so the ammortisation saving runs to 27/28 and covers Wissa on that year as well. Numbers change a little bit principal remains the same

With the caveat that it is late I think you're right. Starting position is that as of the 1st July there was 2/5 of the original fee left to amortise, £25m, over 25/26 and 26/27. By selling Roland what we are doing is increasing our costs in 25/26 by £12.5m (ammortisation), decreasing them by the salary saving and increasing revenue by approx £115m - £120m after deducting RS sell on fee (plus whatever else has to be distributed elsewhere where) With the 25/26 ammortisation as well the profit is around £90m which we carry for 3 years to offset the 3 year losses. For 26/27 the cost base is reduced by the £12.5m ammortisation brought forward to 25/26 and the saved wages. This covers Wissa. For 27/28 the cost base is reduced by the savings on wages only. This partly covers Wissa. Come the start of 28/29 there are no savings and the sale profit drops off the calc. There is nothing to cover Wissa, needs to come from inside the club From the table on the previous page our 3 year loss at the end of 26/27 is around £65m so we can add £40 million by then. Note this dops off in 27/28 so would need to find internally That could be done by an increase of £20m in 25/26 (which repeats on 26/27), or nothing this year and £40m in 26/27. £20m is around £75m in fees plus wages (in both years), double it for £40m. Risk with the £40m option is you need to fund it for longer with the sale dropping off That is on top of this summers business based on these tables which is say is pretty transformational

Both of them In reality its going to be Wissa starting then Big Nick on around 65 minutes

id go with take the forum down for a few days. Let people catch a breath

Of that os anywhere close to being right them we have £50m that we can add to the loss before the end of next season and be ok without any sales. So that could be £25m this year which repeats next or nothing this year and £50m next year. £25m is something like £75m on fees, plus wages, £50m (surprisingly) is double that

Could have done with one of Nick or Wissa 2 weeks earlier, but personnel wise can't really grumble at any of the business. Is give it an 8 currently but have a feeling we'll be looking back at this window, and maybe January as being the catalyst to the next step up for the club

Genuinely? I mean he is a very very talented player however.. Not got the natural ability of HBA or Beardsley. Not got the goalscoring of Shearer. Not got the mentality of Bruno. I dunno maybe he was good enough at enough in his game to be the best we've had but there isn't much in his game where you'd say he's the best we've had at 'that aspect'

5th, decent domestic cup runs and second phase of the CL would be an amazing season for the club infrastructure imo. For us fans we probably need to be challenging to the end for a cup to show progress

T-shirts in support of him no doubt

Exactly my thoughts!

Loan window stays open for a few days doesn't it? I'm sure there are usually a flurry of loans to non pl teams just after the window slams shut

If like to see a rule where deadline day deals can only be completed once the player is within 5 miles of the buying clubs ground. Massive dash around the country/world for players and great viewing in the last couple of hours of the window

It's not as simple as £110m-£130m though. When you remove any loyalty bonuses and look at what we had to pay the RS as a sell on plus the UEFA fee then we're coming out cash wise not far off what we would have at a £140m sale with the loyalty bonuses to be paid. Were up closer to £30m than £20m by taking the deal from £110m (first bid) and closer to £20m than £10m by taking the deal from £120m (rumoured initial discussion)

Is his lass stuck to the camera?

Nah that allows Liverpool to claim on their insurance. Get through the internationals ok then one good game for the dippers to get their hopes up then a series of injuries like Luque had for us to stiff his career and their finances

PSR wise it makes more sense to spend big now rather than next summer btw. Get a club record deal done in one day Andy

They do the same thing though. PSR profit booked on one year but that is used to reduce losses over 3 years. SCR takes profit over three years to balance out increase revenue over the se period. In both cases you get a 3 year benefit from the sale

You've missed that we're also saving on isaks amortisation and wages if he's not here, so JSL/Wissa take that on over 3 years, giving us another £15m a year in headroom

Still the potential in 2 cups.....

If it's true that he has given up his bonus a £125m sale with no bonus is better for us than £140m with bonus to pay. We save the 10% payable on the sell on clause on the £15m.

No he was July

Insert 'their legs all look the same' joke and safety smiley

Correct, Miggy fee and any loan fee for Kelly in 24/25, sale of Kelly, Longstaff etc in 25/26.

Wolte wolte made To the tune of we will rock you. Claps and all around the stadium

Behaviour stacks up, waits for big Joe to be injured before showing his face in training
