Carsley appointed as England interim coach. I assume they'll stick with him if he doesn't come unstuck.

Good appointment IMO.  Not just because it takes focus off Eddie, but with his success at the U21 think its good to see him rewarded.

Lends more credence to the suggestion they may try for Pep next Summer

SSN platforming Seb Coe platforming Man U getting a 100,000 stadium. Here fuck off, man. I wonder if they mentioned the £40m write off to avoid PSR which nobody else came remotely close to getting? Might as well call it MUTV.

You can tell the season is upon us.

"Wait a minute there, sir! Is that a legitimate, official Macron shirt?"

And what, pray, are sky doing not selecting Sunderland for any of their televised games this weekend? Are they allergic to cup finals or something?

Clueless grifters! To be fair we will likely fly under the radar a bit with no big signings of yet and they will have forgotten who Tonali is! No Europe will be a big help.

 

A lot of what ifs for Chelsea, Villa and Liverpool this year with changes / game schedule / recruitment

I'm willing to bet that none of Villa, Arsenal  or Chelsea finish in the top 4

My main mam James Lawrence Alcott has done his 10,000 simulations of the Premier League season. There's a couple where Man United get relegated, and I think it was 50 where we win the PL. 

 

Be nice if we could combine one of those two sims. 

[Holden McGroin 6174]

I have a feeling Man Utd will do okay this season. 4th to 6th.

Sky bet have removed the odds on Man City to get relegated, they were 14/1 yesterday.  (last pre season they were 2500/1)

Just don't predict either, please.

So that makes it a 9 year contract?

[Toonpack 8643]

So if a player signs a contract extension, does their amortisation amount recalculate for the longer term ???

[Gemmill 42458]

They'll have a book value at the point that the extension is negotiated. That book value should be amortised across the remaining (extended) contract length. 

 

That's how I assume it will work. 

 

So, buy a player for £100m on a 5 year deal, that's a £20m amortisation charge per year. 

 

If at the end of 2 years, you extend their contract by 2 years, you have:

 

Book value: £60m (£100m minus 2 x £20m annual amortisation charge) 

 

Newly extended contract length: 5 years (original 3 plus 2 year extension) 

 

New annual amortisation charge: £12m per year for the next 5 years.
