If the Gordon sale falls under the old FFP rules (which it should, as the new rules don’t start until 1 July) then any profit isn’t available.  The Athletic is reporting it’ll be included in the new rules - then that’ll give £13m + Gordon’s wages for the summer.  In other words, enough for perhaps two £30m players to be brought in. 
 

 

 


With the new rules ensuring that profits made on player sales are split over three years it is going to be very important what they do about transfers that occurred prior to the new rules being introduced.

 

You would have thought that the “fairest” way of doing this would be to take them into account so in the 2026/27 year a third of any profits from sales in 2024/25 and 2025/26 should contribute. It would certainly help to have a third of the Isak profit!

 

Unfortunately fairness does not usually come into the rules.

Agreed on all counts - and the new rules are weird; they even run March to March from what I can understand.

 

The only small advantage from the new rules for us is that transfer losses can be amortised over those three years too - which should reduce the impact of getting shot of someone like Wissa for a fraction of what we paid.

Now it'll hurt if he goes. Can't really explain why like.

Would it be reduced if he was sold abroad?  Made the Gordon sale go down like Calpol for me - that was one of those moves where I think all parties could basically walk away happy and we can wish the player all the best.

Yep, if he went abroad I’d be sweet with it.

On Friday night I had a dream that Sandro went charging after a long ball and ended up running off the pitch and into a shop window. Except the window wasn’t made of conventional glass it was some kind of flexible plastic thing made of layers of flexible plastic. Sandro got stuck in between the two layers and suffocated to death. He looked a bit like Han Solo when he was frozen in carbonate.

 

Make what you want of my rather odd dream.

Thinking of putting yourself in the shop window? Look at poor old Han Solo (see Isak) Be careful what you wish for Sandro lad!
