Dont worry PIF will help them out again :lol: 

 

Their problem is that the players that will give them the profit they need are the homegrown lads (Gallagher, Reece James, etc), who are all young and ambitious. They're not about to throw their careers away by going to Saudi. 

 

I mean I'm not saying they won't be able to pull some sort of rabbit out of the hat, but it won't be easy.

There is no way they are still compliant. They probably need to make £100m+ of PROFIT from player sales by end of June.

The thing is that the amortisation costs will continue every year. They can't keep selling that value of players every year.

 

Exactly this.

Just quantifies awareness of the pitch. Dunno what the problem is. :dunno: 

 

If a player is looking around more, he'll have a better picture of the positions of the opponents and his teammates, so he's better informed about where danger or opportunity lies.

Bruno, and I bet those scan stats would back that up. But what about Bruno Fernandes vs Bruno Guimaraes?

If I had those scan stats, yeah, probably.

Exactly this.

In player sales, do the accounting entries not work as they would selling any other asset? E.g. Profit/Sale of asset - so the amortisation would cease at the point the sale is recognised in the accounts as the value is written off the balance sheet.

 

I suppose the above only works with players purchased within the last five years, which Chelsea will find increasingly difficult to do, given the inflated fees and contracts they've dished out.

 

I'd say they have a tonne of kids on their books that could fetch upwards of £5m each though, which seems like it's never ending - similarly with Man City. They will always need a handful of those to fetch £20m-£30m+, and unless they start bringing some through they could be royally fucked in a year or two. They have (I would think) five years at around £200m in amortisation costs just from the Boehly spunkfest to cover.
