I'm sure of it. Preston can't afford that. They don't have a pot to piss in. Fair doos

I'm sure of it. Preston can't afford that. They don't have a pot to piss in. I think your certainty that they won't let him go without his FULL wage being covered, might trip you there. We're absolutely desperate to kill our own wage bill. It may be attractive to have them even pay two thirds, if we could get someone in on a quarter of what he's on as a replacement

LCFCCKEANO Posted 4 August Posted 4 August I really do not think there is a chance he goes on loan, what would be the point. If we wanted rid we would drop the price tag, clearly people within football see something we do not, as a lot of interest seems to be about for him and we seem to be very deadset on 15m as a price point 2
Lesterlad Posted 4 August Posted 4 August 1 hour ago, fkas said: Small loan fee and cover all his wages then why not. Braybrooke or Choudhury playing in front of the back four with Chaplin, Cullen or Page pushing on. Throw Alves in there as well, maybe even the elusive Golding. We'd be alright. Why would you have Golding in?
teblin Posted 5 August Posted 5 August Ben Whiteman leaving Preston, might explain why they are after Skipp.
fkas Posted 5 August Posted 5 August 13 hours ago, Lesterlad said: Why would you have Golding in? Couldn't even pick him out of a line up let alone know how good he is. He's 20 so about time he either showed a bit and was good enough to be a depth choice at this level or moved on. 1 1
DAS Boot Posted 5 August Posted 5 August 14 hours ago, James and his giant peach said: Skipp is one of those players who won't stand out at any level. Even on the local park he'd Huff and puff but ultimately end up getting given the run around. He's useless. Doesn't score doesn't assist, isn't quick, isn't strong, isn't a good dribbler, isn't a great tackler, nor a good passer. He's the worst signing we have ever made in terms of outlay and return. Then outlay was the majority of KDH money and the return is back to back relegations and hardly one decent performance. Get him gone even if it's some of his wages freed up. If he keeps Page out of the team this year I will riot. Absolutely this. Complete b@stard who needs to go. 1

les-tah Posted 7 August Posted 7 August In league one under scmp rules this is the only season we can make a loss and it not affect us in the future. So we just got to get rid whilst in league one asap of skipp

Ai explains it better than me😂 i believe it to be true “League 1 SCMP only checks wages against turnover — it doesn’t test losses at all, so selling a player for way less than we paid costs nothing on the books this season. The Championship still runs on PSR, a three-year rolling loss test, which does count that same loss once we’re back up. So any player we’re never getting our money back on has to be sold while we’re still in League 1. 1

Maybe I'm not as smart as AI, but does this not just mean that we could sell him at a loss this year, but if (if!!) we go up it'd hit our books as a PSR loss next year?

Yeh dont make sense does it probably why were in court every year arguing we were operating under a different set of rules so dont punish us.😂

Claudio Fannieri Posted 7 August Posted 7 August We can take a loss on the player from a Squad cost point of view but would still show as loss in the accounts
LCFCCKEANO Posted 7 August Posted 7 August 6 minutes ago, ClaphamFox said: The Championship no longer runs on PSR—it has adopted SCMP from this season. He must just be really highly rated by some inside the club for us to be asking for so much then. Seems to be a gap between the way clubs including ours see him and the way we do 1
Popular Post Ted Maul Posted 7 August Popular Post Posted 7 August This is what blows my mind with PSR. You can't just cut your losses on a poor signing by selling on the cheap, and potentially end up in a downward spiral. It completely counters what the rules are supposedly there to prevent. 7
