mrmojorisin75 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The reasoning the article gives is the accounts go from June to June so any signings after June won't make that years accounts I've been saying this for a while on here tbh. It's the sort of stupid bullshit we love to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Surely deals don't go through officially till July anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I didn't think any player could be officially signed before July, so whatever fees get paid would have to go on the post-June balance sheet. Announcing a signing before July won't make any difference to that. No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcing a signing before July won't make any difference to that. No? Registrations can't go through until the window opens but deals can be done and contracts signed so I'd imagine money could change hands prior to that date. As I understand it anyways.

Disco Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think it's just the players registration that changes on 1 July. Fees can be paid whenever but technically you won't own the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Certainly think it's more likely that we are just a bit useless. I do think we will make a clutch of signings around the same time. Probably to save on administration or something. Amateurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 2013 proved these wankers can get it done if they really want it to happen. The fact we're dragging our heels means it's either done for financial reasons as the article states or there is an unwillingness to invest. Or both.

Didn't Ashley got involved in that transfer window. I think when he engages, things get done quickly. Charnley strikes me as being terrified of making a mistake hence the constant monitoring. There is rarely any decisive action with regards to anything at the club unless Ashley gets involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Something about the wording of "resisting" trying to buy a player speaks so much about our attitude to transfer windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I love the idea of us 'resisting a transfer' it makes me picture the human thumb going around sabotaging all the deals Carr and McClaren are trying to set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 mrmojorisin75 is spot on. Sports Direct United has developed several creative ways to pretty-up the balance sheets. Keeps transfer expenditure at a minimal level. No spending (transfer fees & adding new wages) prior to July 1st. Top targets are snapped up early, often, prior to this date. Clubs are active earlier now. Always paying transfer fees in full, but will accept installments for outgoings. For a club with a sell to buy policy this policy reduces our incoming cashflow, and consequently our spending power. Factoring wages (1st year of a contract or more?) into the total cost of a potential deal. Once again our equation, in how we do business, places limitations on what we bid. ..... and course there's Ashley/The Thumb's old favourite, as revealed at Keegan's tribunal. Deliberately sabotaging deals with offensive underbidding. There's a degree of calculating in how we operate, by these pricks have no place in the business of football. Feigned incompetence?
