Oh shit Varane is out of contract? Apologies didn’t even realise.

It’s complicated but for you lot your amortisation will be significant because you spend big every summer. Also, you haven’t shifted Varane and Casemiro at present so you can’t just bank on the money for them.

Sounds like your in exactly the same boat as us, Athletic reported between 75-100m + player sales for us.

Have you been linked with him? What’s your budget for this summer Frogman?

Aye fair enough given your lack of legs in there. It’s not going to happen though is it?

Maybe you lot can buy him to hold mason mounts hands.

Anchoring is a hard cap as I mentioned, which is why the PFA took issue and shot it down. FMV is obviously being challenged now by city so we will see how that pans out, at this point it’s a central pillar of FFP so it being struck down would be an absolute game changer.

Eh, I thought his contract was up? We didn’t pay him off if so.

Can share your source for that? That would be very interesting if true.

I think it’s because tying to revenue results to a basically unlimited cap, where as having an anchor which would come in to effect at x amount creates a cap on salaries. TLDR. Anchoring creates a hard cap. FFP or PSR creates a soft cap as revenue can always increase which results in in higher wages.

Aye I see that, I don’t see the pathway for him though, given our funds are limited the play is to bolster the starting 11 and backfill any departures with any funds we raise from what we get from selling.

I imagine it would be more and we could probably amortise it monthly, probably not enough on its own but every little helps.

The proposal tabled was, no luxury tax included. As discussed earlier Luxury taxes have their own issues BUT the owners are greedy as fuck so it’s probably the best mechanism to get an agreement.

Squad filler in a position we don’t need, I’m not sure man.

I don’t know if we are, I’m just repeating what Waugh said in his article, which was we need to sell before the end of June to be compliant.

We don’t currently have one so I imagine the start date of the deal could be today.

Anchoring is essentially a salary cap which is a big no no in the eyes of the PFA (rightfully so). I do wonder though, how come Anchoring is the line but FFP isn’t.

Wonder if it will be announced with them new kit unveiling. Waugh mentioned we are currently in breach of FFP so i wonder if this is our get out of jail free card

He’d be demented to choose Chelsea over Arsenal.

Sesko seems to be Arsenals number one target.

The Athletic hinted we would be open to selling Minteh this summer which I found interesting.

I see your train of thought, and wouldn’t be against it if we kept Wilson so he’d be a third choice. That being said I’m desperate to get shot of Wilson so maybe that influences my thinking.

Problem with this kind of deal is it a massive step down from Isak to him and he’s a player who won’t improve either.

No way the league would distribute this money to the lower leagues, not a chance. Absolutely but realistically not many can compete, it’s one thing to spend 200m in a window but it figures doubled and spend increased faster than the clubs valuations did then owners would be running for the hill, the smart ones would be looking to sell before this ever became a thing.

And that has a huge bearing on the pyramid structure. You could totally see us and City getting into an arms race and the problem which then occurs is the gap between the bottom feeders of the premier league and that of the championship sides becomes even wider. Essentially you get promoted and have zero chance to compete because the wealth gap becomes even wider than it is presently.
