Equally, if the players you go on to buy don't work out, there's a drag on what you can do later. Amortisation works both ways - you still have to recover their costs at some point. 


E.g. if you buy someone for £100m on a 5 year contract, you're down £20m a year for each of those years in the future. Plus their wages. Unless you're confident your income will go up by more than that each year to cover it all, it's not some magic bullet.

 

So, it's only good if you're in expansion mode. We must be pretty confident we are.

Wonder if there’ has been some confluence with ASM not finalising his move and Fabinho’s deal slowing down too.

 

If Liverpool are very vocal in their protest against any fee we might receive, perhaps PIF have decided to put the brakes on an extremely good deal for an over the hill Fabinho. Share the pain.

Far too complicated all this accounting stuff. Should be simply no staggered payments allowed. If the club has the cold hard cash available they can spend it however they like. If the pots empty the pots empty.

 

Would instantly stop teams bending the rules to get players they shouldn't realistically be able to get.

 

Kind of agree with fair market value on sponsorships, but it could be based on last year's results rather than 'historic value'

This would likely make things even more difficult than they currently are for us in terms of FFP.

It’s profit*5, so assuming Maxi was still on the books for approx 6.5m at a fee of 30m it would be approx 117.5m, HOWEVER if we were to spend this all at once and assuming we are at the limit of FFP we would then need to make the same profit every year for the next five years (seling other players for considerable profit or through commercial revenue increases) before we could even think about further incomings. So really a better way to think about it is it allows to bring spending forward.

 

 

 

The bolded part of this gets ignored by an alarming number of people. Including those paid to write about football.

It would serve the stupid bastards right, they've benefited more than anybody so far getting shot of their older players for stupid money.
