One of the best left backs in the league, it’s the going rate nowadays.

Then he kicks rocks for a year and moves for a free next summer.

He seems to want to play for a CL club so I don’t think he’s a realistic target for us.

I mean our spending isn’t done but this isn’t the reason. The club will likely bleed money on a month to month basis in cash flow terms. also this facility will surely result in us patient interest to hsbc.

Loan with an option is what I read. Not sure if it’s true mind.

He’s a back up and it’s a one year extension. Doesn’t say anything much imo.

Don’t think so, behind closed doors and all that.

I mean, he’s one of a number of names right? He wasn’t the first choice so it makes no sense to just go in and negotiate with them.

I think for Burnley; the concerns aren’t ffp. They are cash flow, iirc Burnley we’re bought using loans and likely with business plan which involved being in the premier league.

Should be 5-10%

If we are paying for him over 4 years that’s a cracking deal lol

Your missing the point, ultimately if he sold the club for more than he put in plus what he paid he made a profit. his investment created a return. I haven’t done the maths but in pretty sure it was profitable

Abramovich is the reason for it though. He rightfully held the bag. Also, I’m pretty sure he made a profit.

But in all of these cases the creditors were all paid no?

Also it’s probably bullshit. Spurs and Chelsea are linked with anyone that has a pulse.

Doubt anyone is willing to pay us what we would need to to sell.

Well, yea so people who trade with them in the future should worry (this was one of Bayern’s concerns). I’m also assuming it’s possible to cover such things with bespoke insurance contracts.

They are basically mortgaging future tv revenue as we speak. Also it’s perfectly normal for clubs to be owed or owe transfer fees given the nature of the agreements.

Is this 120m payments they’ve defaulted on? If so they can issue winding up petitions no?

Also, for FFP purposes (EPL version) if you took out 500m to build a new stadium this wouldn’t reflect in your FFP calculation but would reflect in your overall debt. It’s nuanced and unfortunately nuance and media are foes.

I think that part came from the Leeds writer for the athletic.

How can the club decide where a players family live?

I think so too, but I also think we will have to overpay to get the players we need. it’s difficult to judge it all, we aren’t very clear as far on how fast we are supposed to be progressing.

That story is full on spin mode. Any rational actor would want to stall to see if they can get a better price.

I’d like to formally welcome the PIF to the world of football transfers This isn’t value investing.
