I’d just like to remind people of the Levy appreciation thread I created a while back, people mocked the Don but some of us knew he was playing the long game!
I guess we find out on Monday. It sounds like Forest, Bournemouth and Everton are most at risk of breach. Woolwich, Chelsea and Man U may be close to the line so may have to sell a club trained player to buy anyone, even in the summer.
for Woolwich the most obvious emergency sales to create breathing space are
Nketiah - but given he is on £100k a week not sure there will be many buyers for a 3rd choice striker in any half decent team.
Nelson - I don’t know much about him
Smith-Rowe - most likely sale I would have thought. But who has money to buy?
Saka - most sellable
I remember Daniel saying about a year ago that things will change in the future . I think this is happening because the prem lge need to show that they can keep their own house in order ahead of the imminent arrival of the Football Regulator. Not before time too.I remember Ali G saying in one of his videos last year that Levy’s been banking on this happening for a while.
Must admit at the time when he said it, I thought we’d be waiting a long time for it to come about
Won’t be charged, but they defintely have to be careful with spending which is still good
Wasn’t there a vote few months back about loaning players from clubs your connected to , it passed as the majority of clubs benefitted from it - what worries me is if they put a change to FFP to a vote ( is this even possible) it would pass as would be the same clubs that want it!
Honestly though if this happens and is enforced how lucky are we to have Fabs and Ange and this young squad now?
I think we offer the chavs £50 million for Gallagher and palmer or just tell them we will take them next season once they relegated
Still seems like BS and open to manipulation like chavs have done. Most business write down assets after 3 years. Most football clubs give players contracts of 4/5 years except chavs.You buy someone's and divide their price by the contract length, if you sell them within the contract length you take the remaining off the fee. Not that complicated and is standard accounting practice for assets of a company
Should t be! Wasn’t Mancini being paid money into some account overseas or something like that or was that chsvs doing it?Apparently the profit and sustainability rules began in the 15/16 season. So anything City and Chelsea did before then is probably "ok"
It was said that Everton may get a second charge a couple of weeks ago. Imagine thatI remember Daniel saying about a year ago that things will change in the future .

On the other hand we have the likes of Martin Samuel in the Times saying scrap FFP , if an owner can afford it ,let him spend it. That’s ok if it’s an Arab nation state. Ask Reading fans what they think if it as they slowly go bankrupt.
Woolwich must be close to the limit as they had to loan Raya instead of a purchase.
Should be interesting tomorrow. Everton might be back in the cart.

Amortization is the standard in most businesses. If a Crane lasts 10 years you amortise over 10 years. Football copied accounting rules.Still seems like BS and open to manipulation like chavs have done. Most business write down assets after 3 years.

There were no rules so couldn't be broken. They did plenty since then so no issue.Apparently the profit and sustainability rules began in the 15/16 season. So anything City and Chelsea did before then is probably "ok"

...and us, of course, Sarr's new conract is for almost 7 years.Still seems like BS and open to manipulation like chavs have done. Most business write down assets after 3 years. Most football clubs give players contracts of 4/5 years except chavs.
Let’s hope so the cheating fuckers. They should look at all the payments made Roman and his fellow dodgy fuckers.Well, that’s why they changed the rule so that clubs can’t amortize the contracts over 8 years as they were doing. Chelsea got away with it for that window (although there are consequences, and it’s not exactly a get out of jail free card).
PL didn't change their rules Uefa did.Well, that’s why they changed the rule so that clubs can’t amortize the contracts over 8 years as they were doing. Chelsea got away with it for that window (although there are consequences, and it’s not exactly a get out of jail free card).
Yes but we didn’t buy him for £100M and then spread the cost over 7/8 years. I assume it’s the transfer fee which is also spread over the contract length....and us, of course, Sarr's new conract is for almost 7 years.

Ffp can discard amortization if it wants but they decided to copy existing business practices. Which was probably right.
That's not due to ffp, we don't have any issues, it's because we think we have a superstar and want to protect that...and us, of course, Sarr's new conract is for almost 7 years.
