I'm telling you you're wrong

To a point you’re not wrong and I agree with some of your opinion, but being a league 1 club weakens our negotiation position, regardless of the fact this is the most expensive squad ever to be relegated. In fact, that makes our position even worse, because in order to sell unsaleable assets we’re going to have to accept ridiculously small fee’s for them. The likes of Faes and Winks will have to go for next to nothing… 

 

So, whereas I appreciate this is the most expensive squad ever to be in this league, and that is unusual, I personally think this further weakens our ability to negotiate the fees we want. Who even is our most valuable player? And what is their real time value? I would argue Bilal was, and he’s gone for probably the right fee in my opinion.

The fee for Bilal was agree last season when we were a championship club, as part of his loan deal.

 

So had nothing to do with our league 1 status.

Wasn’t it an obligation to buy? Or an option? Either way I feel you’re correct, but he’s was our most valuable asset I would say. Now, who is? We will have to sell a combination of youngsters to build any finances. But without Top injecting money into the club, I can’t see how it will actually benefit us.

Normal with a option or obligation the fee is set up front at the start of the loan.

 

The main benefits it will book profit in this season accounts.

 

On the face of it we have sold him largely for what we paid for him, however due to the way amortisation works it will show as a profit in this coming season accounts.

 

We brought him for roughly 20m, on a 4 year contact, two seasons later we have sold him. 10m of his original transfer fee would have been amortised in those two accounting periods leave 10m left.

 

So for this season account we will book a 20m income, vs a 10m book value, result in an accounting profit of 10m for this coming season accounting period

Fatawu you would imagine will bring in 15/20m
