I think the point is more how fees are reported. I’d say there is likely a very good chance of that being the case. £3m reported by Baz, then Boro side reports it as the total package. Ones more favourable to us, ones more favourable to them. Ultimately none of us know
I understand, my point is I would think the 22m we owe doesn't include add ons, while if 3m for Jones does include add ons they might not all be bankable, so reporting the actual fee is much lower is relevant.
It will still be important to look at the final P/L figure, not the operating profit, as Maguire will be wont to do, as Philogene and Greaves' sales will be in these accounts.
The issue more seems to be Acun's ability to pay the money to keep the club running more than anything else. Getting the Jaden & Greaves payments upfront seems like it was the pay for the previous year's reckless spending, but if that was the case, why did we spend recklessly last summer too.
**** me. Page after page of moaning because what? We are selling three players that were signposted we were going to sell before the EFL restriction came into place. Yes it’s far from ideal but no new information has emerged about the state of the appeal or the clubs financial position to warrant this echo chamber of doom and gloom.
