I'm wondering if the Mrs would mind if we didn't buy a new house and use the deposit to buy one of everything for me and the kids

Its 2 days man. Its so rare nowadays to have a release of anything that is unspoilt. I really hope that they manage to keep it underwraps until Friday am. I'm going all Likely lads on this now and not going to enter this thread until I've seen the release. Partying like its 1995

You’re not looking at the bigger picture here. Kane is destined never to win a trophy. Drop him/he gets injured and we are destined to win the Euros

Just look at his career man

Does anyone actually want to win the Euros with those line ups? not only should Kane not be starting we need him out of the squad full stop. It’s impossible for us to win it with Kane there

This season really was 94/95 revisited wasn’t it ?

It would no doubt have the highest ratio of lurkers to posters guaranteed

I try to avoid getting geeky on here but if you go technical then FRS102 is silent on the period (day/week/month) other than it being over the UEL (or contract length here) so you defer to management judgement and estimates. I've been doing this a long time both as an auditor and then trough to CFO, you would apply a daily calculation to financial assets but for the vast majority of PPE or intangibles it is monthly, your depreciation or amortisation charge would be equal across the 12 months and not higher in May than February. And I will go all Billy Big Bollocks here, but I did audit Wayne Rooney's amortisation schedule in 2005 and that was a monthly calculation.

Yes if we had written off future wages and then sold the player so didn’t have to pay those wages you would release the residual. we are pretty much down to Hayden with that now though. we don’t have much in our accounts that would make a difference to faff about with

And the reality is that there are always management discretions on applying the standards. Where someone is paid weekly or monthly then you would be well within your rights to base calculations on that basis. And I can tell you 100% that football clubs amortise transfer fees monthly.

It would be monthly in reality, daily would be far too much of a faff. The accounting policy says the full value is capitalised on the date of the transaction and then amortised straight line (i.e. the same amount every month) over the length of the contract. So it is true that we'd only have 1 months cost this year for a June signing, that would be £583,333.33 in the year for a £35m player with a 5 year contract. Forest would get the full benefit of the sale this year

It's not even that definite that Pope would get an offer elsewhere that would be attractive to him. Make him the default cup keeper - there's 5 games in winning the League cup, 6 in winning the FA cup and 14 in the Conf League. With there always being a chance of injury or suspension to get some league games it may well be his best option

Looking at our accounting policies I think that is right, but unless it is beneficial to either club to conclude on June (don’t see it here) then it would be a July transfer

I still think that Mainoo has changed his name as a marketing tool for playing for ManU

Got to feel for Jay Turner-Cooke today

It depends on the wording in the contract, most will say it needs to be in writing but not all do by any means and if the contract is silent on it then verbal would be binding

I’ll stick my neck out on Arsenal here. after the last 2 seasons they will either win the league or finish battling for 4th/5th. Lego head has done a great job but it’s going to take one hell of an effort to get them going again after coming close 2 years on the spin.

I'd love an Inter Toto competition this summer. Competitive pre-season but not overly taxing in terms of teams we'd face. I put a lot of the league position in 2001/2002 to being match sharp from game 1 after the Inter Toto run

This was our 94/95 season. we’ve just signed with Adidas, you know what happens next

Is there something going on at Bayern? Seems very odd that so many people - and some of them with a slightly bruised reputation - are turning them down

If he does leave for Liverpool now at least we can get him banned for tipping people off about which club he’s going to

The time it would take to do that would make it defunct - either FFP disappears or the rules change to prevent it. If we had plans to move training ground and/or stadium we could see any land that we own around it to the owners (they are developers after all) and then rent the current facilities whilst the new one is being built, that should pass the requirements. Shame we don't own the land under SJP, that would be worth a decent wedge, certainly when put next to our income requirements for the next couple of years

Just register with nufc.co.uk

If we have accelerated recognising his wages then its very likely (I'd say pretty much 100%) that any residual transfer fee on the books would have been written off at the same time so releasing him will have nil impact on FFP

Was hoping we'd have the Adidas kit on for this
