A simple “yes” would have sufficed tbh

 

A simple I WON'T FUCKING BOTHER NEXT TIME will suffice next time.

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. 

 

That's some mighty fine maths right there.

 

Pity that contracts can only be amortised across five years so none of it matters in Palmer's case.

[Gemmill 49748]

What would you know of fine maths?! 

[The Fish 11313]

Bear in mind he signed a 7yr deal and, as I understand it, the amortisation goes across 5yrs. So his £42.5m fee is spread across those 5yrs, not 7, and certainly not these extra 2 years. 

 

The fee was £42.5m (£8.5m p.a.), less the year he's served there leaves £34m, so the yearly commitment drops to £6.8m.

Ewerk finished first.

 

As always.

Did you miss those words? How I responded is how a normal contractual situation works but I because don't memorise all the PL's stupid rule changes, I might have messed up. 

 

However. The most instructive thing here is that I clearly could have told you FUCKING ANYTHING and you would have believed it. 

 

So THAT'S INTERESTING.

The same way players who go to Liverpool develop asthma.

And Messi who took HGH, Bale and R7 clearly on the gear etc etc

 

Football is a trillion dollar business

On Lewandowski surely a co-incidence

Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign England defender Ben Chilwell by Chelsea after the 27-year-old was told he does not feature in boss Enzo Maresca's plans. (Talksport)

 

Chelsea taking the piss  

[Holden McGroin 7546]

Looks like Tosin is in Chelsea’s euro squad. Admin error.

 

alex moreno has signed for Forest so that’s blocked Matty T’s path.

[Toonpack 11329]

This will end well

 

[Holden McGroin 7546]

It would be funny if they can’t get rid of any of the players. They’d surely be PSR fucked

They've got senior pros training with their development group. It's disgraceful really. And the wages must be absolutely killing them. 

 

I hope the window closes with a bunch of them still there causing ructions.

Imagine going to work and your Poch protective father like type manager leaves and is replaced with this absolute psychopath man. Absolute shambles.

 

Is Madueke training away too, is he going cheap?
