Nice recovery but is the 'shambles' England or your thread choice? The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
So Tims first day tomorrow.? Wonder who will play up front in this week's training sessions? Jonny Eyre maybe?
that philogene to Barca deal sounds utter **** for us......loan with an obligation value based on mins played.....the kids had a decent champ season but let's be honest he's not playing more than a handful of sub appearances for Barca.
I don't understand what you mean by "spread"? We lose him this year and gain no benefit. FFP benefit is in a single year at the point of sale.
As far as I understand it, “loan with an obligation to buy” is considered as a permanent transfer for FFP so the selling club get the full amount immediately (and the buying club start the amortisation for FFP immediately as well).
I don't believe so because that wasn't the case with Giles. Clubs set up deals as loan with an obligation specifically to defer FFP implications.
I think we should tell Barça to pay a fee this summer or **** off. If Philogene doesn’t like that we rejected their silly loan-to-buy deal, he can cry about it. He signed a contract.
Could be different for January transfers I guess, but that's how it works for summer ones I believe. Otherwise why would selling clubs ever agree to it?
Selling clubs would agree to it to get big wages off their books with players they don't want to keep. It's why you see it predominently with the big clubs. If you have a source I'd love to see it because there aren't (as far as I'm aware) different financial rules depending on the window.
