Wilf Zaha - loaned to Lyon

[kingpower]

I think our financial situation is way worse than people realise. I expect Rudders thought they would loan him to us for the season at minimal cost. Once he found out the conditions we had no choice other than not to progress

"Worse than people realise"

 

Mate we've said the same thing for the past 3 years, "must sell before we buy". We were on a transfer embargo, we're getting a point deductions..

Anyone who isn't aware is purposefully not reading in to it

But you would’ve hoped promotion / sales (KDH, Maresca) / release of high earners etc. -  might have improved things somewhat

And they have. Every report has taken us from getting a second points deduction, to we'll likely have passed PSR and will have only failed once

Whilst that £90 million loss sits within the 3yr PSR cycle; and PSR remains a thing - that seasons accounting will remain a drag on what we can do financially; because it is pretty much a given that the club still runs at a loss at present (unless there’s significant net value player trading).

I still think the club were banking on Hermansen being sold for silly money

The more I think about it, the more I’m against this signing anyway. Palace fans don’t seem overly bothered about getting him back. Some saying he would be a ‘super sub’ and that he’s past his best. He couldn’t find much form in a poor Turkish league. Galatasary fans don’t like him, he’s always been pretty lazy and doesn’t track back etc. might upset the dressing room with earning about 3 times more than anyone else. Think we need grafters who will put 100% in all game if we are to survive.

Leicester City have been working on a loan for the 31-year-old, while his former club Crystal Palace also explored the possibility.

But Zaha’s potential return to the Premier League is in jeopardy because of the tax implications associated with a move back from Turkey.

[FrankieADZ]

ayew instead of zaha, oh this gets better and better, what a shambles of a club we truly are

[StanSP]

What tax implications would they be? Our side, players side?

How do you know it's us that's the issue? 

[TheGoldenGod]

What a joke! People laugh at fans moaning on here but what sort of reason is that for a deal to fall through?  absolute nonsense.

[mod hero]

I’m really disappointed with this. I think he could’ve kept us up.

 

really is the worst pre season in recent memory.

i obv don't, just fed up of the club being linked with decent players that we don't get over the line

I'm assuming the tax issue isn't for the club, but likely Zaha.

20% tax for him in Turkey where as here it would be 45%

 

We would need to pay him about £150k a week to then match his net wage he gets in Turkey

 

I imagine this is why we were seemingly trying to do it where we only pay a loan fee for him but have probably found out we can’t do it that way?

Worse than what? The financial situation is pretty cut and dry….. it’s not worse than we think…. We’ve breached the rules by spending too much money, that completely different to being in a poor financial situation, we are suffering from not being able to shift below average plays on mega wages.

 

You play with feathers you get your arse tickled, and unfortunately that’s the situation we’re in.

Surely on his wages? I don't think there is a double tax ruling between UK and Turkey so assume he'd face a higher rate of taxation on his earnings...

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Going well

[teblin]

Everyone jump in the bandwagon and blames the club. But for me seems like zaha doesn’t want to pay tax so is saying no.
