I still haven't got a notion with this PSR stuff. Douglas is saying that the club are concerned about next summer in terms of PSR, but I was under the impression that we'd entered the start of another three year period, and that it would only be at the end of that three year period that we'd need to worry about what we'd spent the previous three. 

 

I always thought that it is a rolling 3 year period, so now will apply to the 3 years to end of June 2025.

aye, my understanding too.

what we need is some advice from a decent accountant, don't think we've got one of those on here though.

[Gemmill 49683]

Yeah it's 3 year rolling, so the previous year 1 just drops out of the calculation. 

[Polarboy 2317]

Oh right, that makes some sort of sense I suppose. 

[wykikitoon 22687]

SO we need to raise our income via sponsorship and get better assets to sell otherwise we will always have issues?

Oh and progress better in comps and qualify for Europe more.

Yes, which is why each year that drops off helps immensely because they're the tail end of the Mike Ashley era of corporate sponsorships (i.e. shit and cheap) and also where our signings had to be more transformative for our squad. Europe of course will help, but even that has limited prizemoney for teams like us with a lesser European coefficient. It's mostly the baseline from TV and corporate sponsorship that is the financial bedrock, thereafter having effective youth training facilities and development apparently lets you become spendthrifts without impacting on your PSR.

 

It will be interesting watching our commercial revenue blossom under competent ownership.and management.

The thing about Gordon is that if doesn't want to sign a new contract we'll have to get rid for as much as possible this summer. If we allow him to not sign a new one, he doesn't leave, and he has a poor season, gets injured or whatever we could conceivably see his value plummet by 30, 40m. We could probably get 80 to 100m for him this summer when his stock is high. That money would transform our window, and we'd still have Barnes on the left with Joelinton as a very able deputy were he to get injured. I of course sincerely hope that Gordon's head hasn't been turned as much as it's been reported and he does sign that contract. 

[wackyjunior 40]

Did we sign him for 3.5 years? 

[Polarboy 2317]

Reports in Spain that we've enquired about Raphinha again. Supposedly we're still roughly ten million apart with Barca wanting 50m for him. Quite probably just paper talk, but it does seem likely that Raphinha will go given Barca need the money for Olmo and Williams. And Williams of course will be starting with Lamal starting on the other wing.

A load of twatter cunts saying we should have gone for Summerville.  Every Leeds fan I know has said that Leeds have had their pants down with that price.

[wackyjunior 40]

Sounds like a cope. A bit like when Everton sold Gordon.

Said he signed a long term contract in January 2023. Three and half years seems too short and given the way the management structure were talking him up when signing, seems strange not to tie him down, even stranger considering a £45m fee... 

 

Reckon it's bollocks.

[Polarboy 2317]

Transfermarkt have his contract finishing on June 30, 2026 as well. So yeah it's an odd one. Maybe it's a typo or mistake on Transfermarkt's behalf and the media have used them as a source and have just took it for granted that they're correct, given they're a somewhat reliable source.

Think this is likely. 

 

All articles at the time including our media release stipulate long term contract.

Would be a horrendous oversight/error to offer a 21 year old a 3 and a half year contract having spent c£45m on him.

 

Not buying it.

The end of this is crackers.

Honestly, you should be getting a knock on the door from S Yorkshire police for posting that in this thread. 

[wykikitoon 22687]

S Yorkshire? You cheeky cunt! I'm not a Barnsley wanker!

 

TBF The named threads are for 'Here We go' mofos.  KD Shot his bolt too early.

[Gemmill 49683]

It's all South Yorkshire to me. You're the Barnsley Blowjob.

.com have the contract end date as ‘tbc’. I honestly think, due to the lack anything solid, people have just made up the 3.5 year thing to generate hits. Especially as it’s yet another window where FSR has meant there’s not a lot happening. You would think 4.5 years would be the minimum length of the contract
