Boey_Jarton Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 On 20/08/2024 at 23:25, Cf said: Not really a PSR thing that. If they do manage to sell him for a decent wedge then it's just pure profit. You'd want that regardless of PSR. Expand Disagree entirely. Whilst there always has been an obvious benefit of buying players on a free, the risks and rewards of such deals are fundamentally changed when PSR is considered. You mention "pure profit" but in a pre-PSR world, accounting profit was largely irrelevant, since all rational financial decision making was based on cash flow and cost of capital (i.e the real world). The risk of putting Tosin on a long (and potentially onerous) contract is high in this context, even if he was free. In a post PSR world, the benefit of crystallising pure accounting PSR profit from deals like this, completely changes the risk/reward dynamics. I.e. clubs are willing to accept the risk of onerous contracts, because the downside is amortised over a long period, whereas the upside (player sale) is crystallised immediately.

gbandit Posted August 21, 2024 Share Posted August 21, 2024 What’s hilarious about that quote is Maresca is coming out saying “there’s no shambles here, I’m working with a normal squad” which absolutely takes the piss out of his owner and club.

80 Posted October 19, 2024 Share Posted October 19, 2024 Keith Downie claiming the reason he didn't sign was he wanted a fee release clause in his deal, which we didn't want to get into the habit of offering. Supposedly the wage he's getting from Chelsea is basically the same as what we'd agreed, but they gave him the clause too, which is a new story. The rest of our summer transfer window spiralled from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
