Ffp is based on a rolling three year basis and we’ve spent more now with last two windows so that will be why we have less (if we do). Said it a few times now - these owners have a long term plan they don’t seem to deviate from so I feel a lot of people will be hugely disappointed at the end of this window.

19/20 net spend €37.26m, 20/21 €39m, 21/22 €136m, 22/23 €172m....according to transfermarkt. Not sure how to apply those numbers and our revenue has been increasing. As someone else mentioned the transfer fee is amortized over the life of the contract and selling a player, even for less than you initially paid for him, can result in net gains for ffp purposes.  Ryan Fraser €8m, Jamal Lewis €8m, Matt Ritchie €1.8m, Jamal Lascalles €7 may all be headed out.

The biggest thing holding us back is the lack of saleable players that were here pre takeover that we could look to sell to help with FPP.

Aye, we have no assets that we can sell that are actually worth anything. At least if we are lucky we might get their wages off the book so we are not stranded with them until the contract runs out. It will give us something at least.

The only way around some fairly straightforward mathematics is to do what Chelsea have done and offer ridiculously long contracts to players to amortise the fees over a long period.  Our owners aren’t that stupid.

 

The CL money bonanza also isn’t quite the bonanza many are expecting, if the owners have made the sensible calculation that we might go out in the group stage.  Our income is still far lower than the Sky Six.  It’ll take a few years to justify the ramping up of sponsorship money.

 

Also - and this is one quite a few don’t seem to want to accept - the PIF having vast cash reserves doesn’t necessarily mean that they fancy pouring a chunk of it into NUFC for shits and giggles.  I think they see this as an investment - and investments need returns.

Nah, they want glory. To be the best. On and off the pitch. No malo.

I'm not sure this is entirely accurate.

 

Think the idea is that by 2030 they want to have a lot of very valuable, profitable assets and are willing to burn through a lot of their cash in the meantime to make sure those assets are top notch.

 

I think a lot of it probably comes down to Ashworth's philosophy. Just don't get the feeling that he wants a bunch of high profile, expensive signings. Isaks and Botmans all the way.

Agree. I think they'd happily blow everyone out of the water with transfer fees and wages given half a chance if it meant we'd be winning titles within a year or two. The ROI would take care of itself.

Isak not high enough.

Expand  

It’s not what you think they’re worth though. It’s what you would accept for them. I don’t think Joelinton is worth 80 million but you’d have to get pretty close to that to get me to sell. We’re going in a fuck off position if we don’t want to sell and think we should take advantage of that as much as we can

Think you have totally miss understood how FFP works. If it is a 3 year rolling thing, which yes losses are, why would Chelsea do 8 year contracts?

No, he’s right. A club’s finances are measured on a rolling three year basis. 
 

Contract length gets into player amortization. If a player costs £80M and is given a four year contract then the fee is spread across each of those years (£20m each year). If you give that same player an eight year contract then the fee is only £10m per year. So in that example the same player costs half as much for FFP purposes. 
 

The risk in that scenario, aside from potentially getting stuck with a player’s wages far past their usefulness, is the remaining balance is deducted from a sale. So let’s say the four year contract player is sold after year three for £50m. Per FFP you would have paid £20m three times or £60m of the £80m. In the year four accounts you can book that sale as a £30m profit (£50m incoming minus the remaining £20m “owed”). 
 

Now if you do the same thing for a player on the 8 year deal you have only “paid” £30m after three years, so selling for £50m only lets you break even. 
 

(“Owed” and “paid” are in quotes because this has nothing to do with the actual money changing hands. You could have paid the selling club the £80m in cash on day one).

That doesn’t mean throwing loads and loads of money at it.  Man City failed at the beginning because they signed ‘name’ mercenaries- and we’re starting from a lower base.  Buying a load of expensive players right now is more likely to fail than succeed.  Sensible and proportionate squad building is the way forward.

 

And that’s precisely what they’re doing, in fairness.  While I think the £75m budget stuff is gamesmanship, the real budget isn’t likely to be too much more due to FFP

More on Szoboszlai fwiw. I get the feeling we're front-runners, whereas I'm not so sure when it comes to Maddison.

He does seem like he’s our Isak type signing for midfield. Mind Maddison also seems tailor made for us and I doubt we get both. It’ll be interesting to see how this develops

Yeah, it'd be great to have both. I think Spurs can still outbid us for Maddison, in terms of wages and transfer fee, and we don't want to be jerked around in a bidding war. This talk of him wanting to move to London has been around for a while too. Unless the player is strongly motivated to join us, I suspect we'll miss out.
