It depends if the club plans to borrow against it. The full 12m can boost year 1 PSR accounts, but the instalments arriving in years 2 and 3 don’t give extra PSR headroom. Spending that cash later counts against PSR for those years, which can then be restrictive. That’s why clubs sometimes borrow against future instalments in Year 1 if they don’t, it’s better to align revenue with cash flow to reduce net profit.

Two different things, cash flow vs accounting. The £12m shows in the accounts, but the club only gets £4m in cash this year – the rest comes in later instalments. That’s why we had to borrow against the Maddison fees

Smaller deals aren’t always structured equally over the duration of the deal. it can be 50% 25% 25% It’s like fans saying we have sold x amount of players this year we should be buying players when the reality is it’s small amounts, so unless we get bank loans against the future instalments it’s not really making the dent that people envisage

7th highest value squad in the league, probably more likely that they end up selling Carlos Baleba for £100m

To challenge for Europe and Champions league places. I didn’t mean challenge for the title. Look how much money is being spent by the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea this year, look at the richest club in the world struggling to keep hold of their players. I used Brighton as an example of a club progressing and growing, but how long will it last.

The idea is that it’s done slowly overtime, capacity grows, the commercial side grows etc Obviously good scouting and turnover speeds things up but as we have seen it’s not sustainable. Brighton have played the market very well, how long will it last? They have been very fortunate to be a Chelsea feeder club.

To think some people didn’t want Moyes at one stage 🤣 worked miracles there

Basically a small club over reaching, sooner or later handing out long deals to lower fee and book price was only going to end one way. With an astronomically high wage bill with players no one wants because they are over paid.

He also went through a period of 5 clean sheets in 8 and only conceding 3 that season The World Cup, made him worse on his return

Maguire has made nearly 170 league appearances and 247 in all comps 6 years later that fee works out about 13m per year Given all the money they have spent on players that havnt even lasted a season, it’s deemed as one of the more successful signings in terms of their recent history.

In 2021

Look at the thread some thought he was worth 40m plus A bloke that couldn’t dislodge 38 year old Kasper from the Denmark side. Arguably past his best

Slab head deemed a fairly good signing 6 years on Maddison done well until injuries Chillwell won the Champions league

He will be lucky to last 5-10 games. Then they will probably turn it around like wolves

Why is it unpopular as we watch our former gk concede his 8th goal in less than 2 games

Not everyone did, if you actually watched him

£8m was rejected from Sunderland, Ipswich probably paid more to make the deal in installments

12m over 3 years Tight ****ers

More a case of Chelsea needed it and we needed the amount for KDH to balance the books

They have brought in £75m and don’t have a giant wage bill. In 23/24 ours was 107m theirs was 44m

Yeah and his value has doubled, with that being the point

He asked to leave on on loan as he didn’t want to be a left sided cb

He didn’t want to drop down and play last time, what’s changed apart from his options. Bad egg, sell

And Hirst

Hopefully for you it’s just to the airport
