Regarding this £6m PSR shortfall, that’s actually a net figure. So say we sell Joseph for £6m it would only knock £3.5m off the ‘debt’ as the £2.5m we paid for him wouldn’t count towards it.
Partly right. Some of the original cost will have already been written off.
So profit is selling price less purchase price add amortisation to date.

Should have read more of the thread as Kalman points this out better than I did

Apologies to Kalman in that case. Talk of Giles going for £4m after we paid that for him still would make no sense PSR wise.
 
Just over a week left until the deadline and we haven’t seen any outgoings yet. Unless the deals are close behind the scenes and are due to be announced next week, I’m a little concerned we might not make up this £6 million PSR deficit before the end of the month.

Whilst we apparently need to sell to cover the shortfall I can not fathom why any club would want to buy this month for the opposite reasoning.
Unless it’s a mega discount fire sale.

You'd think because they're getting a good deal this month.

Once we hit July we're under no pressure to sell, so it makes sense to buy at a (reasonably) cut price now.
 
So the consensus is tha Giles has improved under the guidance of the current coaching staff.
I think Egan is more solid also.
Has Hughes improved under their tutelage?
I’m not sure he has.
Thoughts.

Thought I saw Baz suggesting some movement next week?

I imagine it being like the scenes in Moneyball where Billy Beane calls general managers to trade certain players but it has to be done ASAP and without too many questions.
 
You could say the same for Joseph and Crooks.
Joseph arguably yes, though probably worth less and a question mark over how he’ll return from his injury. Crooks definitely not - he’s been a revelation for us, but is approaching the end of his career and isn’t going to increase in value.

I think Hughes’ defending has improved slightly under the current coaching staff compared to the 2024/25 season. I think Hughes’ defending is similar to Greaves’ in the 2022/23 season. There are still some kinks to iron out in his game but he’s a very talented player. Hughes is already a better ball-playing centre-back than Greaves ever was and ever will be. I will say though that we’ve seen less of Hughes’ ball-playing abilities under Jakirović due to the way we played for most of the season. We tend to go long from goal kicks rather than play out from the back and the centre-backs see less of the ball than they did under Rosenior and Walter.
