Yes that's all I was doing really I just noticed you'd spent some time providing a long post and that you'd got the calculation completely wrong.
That's why it starts with the following - (the key is in the "rumored (R)" bit)

We sell Maxi for £40m - rumoured (R) This is £40m positive in the FFP calculation. Recognised 100% on sale as Maxi isn't on finance. His fee is paid for, but we still pay him a wage.

We buy Barnes for £40m (R)
We amortise the sale of Barnes over 5 years = £8m per year for the FFP calc.


The post is designed to educate those that don't understand why selling Maxi is important to what can be done within FFP with the proceeds. It's not to be financially accurate, as there are too many unknowns.

Still stand by the fact that the Maxi fee will be greater than 25m Euro.

Still stand bay the fact that the Maxi fee will be greater than 25m Euro.


It's OK mate I understand there's no need to let me see you licking your wounds.

In all seriousness the general information was good let's hope they can get 2 or 3 in and it'll be very good business.
 
Working while trying to educate you spackas, while negotiating troublesome pricks along the way is laden with obstacles.

I know how DPP must feel.


Now now you'll notice I don't talk to people like that. Keep it light mate.

I'm sorry I ruined your calculation.
 
Can you two please get a room so you can kiss and make up in private, you're putting me off my pre lunch snack.

It's ok I think his ego recovered in the end after letting it all out along with some playschool insults.

I felt sorry for his plight in the end ... I mean jeez he could easily have just said ahhh right it's only 25 I didn't know <laugh>
 
This. Come and meet us CC. Have a few beers with the lads. <cheers>

I don't drink it opens old demons mate. In truth I'd love to , but I'm kinda like a real life Yoda forced to live in exile.

Also I think there's a strong chance a few people might be formulating a plan to lure me into a trap to murder me for being such a **** on here.

Regardless of the amortization of transfer fee's etc our wage budget is a real sticking point and needs clearing down fast.

Posted the other day but there are 10 players who need moving on - even if you didn't get the £30m I suggested for them, even at £20m (£2m a pop) that still clears £100m in amortized transfer fee's but clears nearly 5 times the wage budget.

Maxi is a low earner comparatively to a lot of the squad and while we can get a reasonable fee for him, you'd be better clearing the wage budget giving away the deadwood in the squad.
