We can agree everything and announce the deal 1 July with Valencia. Not so much with Forrest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Thinking about it the only way I see DCL coming in is if it’s cheap as chips (relatively speaking) and someone like Bowen comes in who can play as striker and guarantees goals. It’s still a risk though replacing one crock with another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 DCL cannot be a serious consideration. Goes against our buying policy now surely. Perhaps an option when we got Wood but we've moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I suppose it might relate to how much we have to spend just playing devils advocate. “If” say we did go for someone like Bowen who would cost an arm and leg then maybe that’s why there’s the link. Agree with you though Edited May 24 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently West Ham’s summer plans where based on the money they would get for Paqueta. On the other hand, Ham will be relegation candidates if they lose both.

Toon1892 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Why is everyone not thinking we can’t spend before 1 July!? Any transfer fee and wages are amortised over the length of the contract. If you sign a player the last day of June on a 5 year contract there is minimal expense for the year ended 30 June 2024. It doesn’t affect the buying side. The only reason you’d set up a contract to complete on 1 July is if the selling club wanted the profit in the latter period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realise the amortisation was calculated daily - assumed it was divided by the contract length in years and allocated that way. That’s the way I’ve always seen it reported.

It’s still a risk though replacing one crock with another. It's risky but it does all depend on the price as you say. If Wilson's sale covers the cost (amortized) of DCL then I can see the sense in it. But obviously the likelihood of him immediately then getting injured once he joins is pretty high.

That’s the way I’ve always seen it reported. I think clubs used to be able to do it how they wanted - might have been Derby who back-loaded the amortisation costs on the basis that a players value doesn't actually drop linearly, it drops more dramatically in the last year of their contract. Obviously that caused major problems for them down the line and I think clubs have to account for it on a linear basis now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 32 minutes ago, Toon1892 said: No it’s calculated daily It would be monthly in reality, daily would be far too much of a faff. The accounting policy says the full value is capitalised on the date of the transaction and then amortised straight line (i.e. the same amount every month) over the length of the contract. So it is true that we'd only have 1 months cost this year for a June signing, that would be £583,333.33 in the year for a £35m player with a 5 year contract. Forest would get the full benefit of the sale this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Sure we could just drop an accrual or change an accounting policy if we absolutely had to like. IIRC we’ve got a provision in for onerous contracts so if we shifted an unwanted player or two early then we might get some payback from that.

It’s not a faff. And the reality is that there are always management discretions on applying the standards. Where someone is paid weekly or monthly then you would be well within your rights to base calculations on that basis. And I can tell you 100% that football clubs amortise transfer fees monthly.

Football clubs do not amortise transfer fees monthly. It is daily. Sorry. Sorry but you’re just wrong here. Even if you were correct and it was monthly you round to the nearest month. Therefore if a player was signed on 30 June 2024, the months charge would be recognised in July 2024 given the majority of the first contractual month falls in July 2024. But in practice this isn’t how it works. It is done daily. Edited May 24 by Toon1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if we had written off future wages and then sold the player so didn’t have to pay those wages you would release the residual. we are pretty much down to Hayden with that now though. we don’t have much in our accounts that would make a difference to faff about with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
