Thanks for this. No surprises re Everton - I think 777 will get waved through eventually and will be disastrous for them. All large companies have their legal controversies but these guys either have a lot more than most or don't know how to manage them.Three interesting Athletic articles surrounding Financials about Villa, Chelsea and Everton
Pretty sure @Beamrider will be interested in these especially the Everton debacle which continues to run and run
Yes, and then amortised over whatever remains of the player's contract. So if he signs on a five year deal and an add on is triggered after two years, it is booked after 2 years and written off over the remaining 3 years of his contract.@Beamrider a question regarding amortizing the transfer fee. How do clubs treat the add-onns? Is it booked in the year it gets triggered / payable?

Only exception to this would be in group accounts if the club were to be bought ought after the initial signing - in that case, an estimated value would be recognised in the group accounts only. In the club's books (the ones used for FFP), it would only be accounted for once it's triggered.
In accountancy speak it's referred to as a contingent liability and would only be recognised when triggered. There is usually a note in the accounts that gives details of liabilities (and additional income) that could be triggered (which covers off your "prudent" point), but there is no obligation to record them, nor is it even permitted, as companies could artificially depress their profits (usually done for tax reasons) if it were to be allowed.I mean if the clubs were prudent, they'd have booked it as a liability at the purchase date, no? With some sort of balance sheet accounting.

It wouldn't be right to recognise it up-front as it might never be triggered - eg think about Everton and the fees for Dele Alli. They're never going to trigger them, so it would be nonsense to record them up front.
That would be so hilarious if the Ev got a second fine. Heads will explode.Both Nottingham Forest and Everton find out tomorrow if they've fallen foul of FFP.
The Athletic expects both to be in breach. More points deductions incoming....
I’m doing my food shopping in the morning, I must add popcorn to my list.

Is it likely, or even legal, to get a points deduction twice in the one season? If the first one was for the 3 years to 2022 (I ave no idea what is was for), then surely a breach of the 3 years to 2023 should be punished the following season to the first punishment?That would be so hilarious if the Ev got a second fine.

Don't get me wrong, it would be funnier than fuck if the blueshite get a second deduction this season, just wondering on how it might work...
Is it to do with the current fine effectively being for last year and any new one being for this year?
Would be funny as fuck like.
Not so funny when City & Chelsea make bigger breaches and get away with it mind…
Bruno G, livra and isak I'd likeIf Newcastle did have to have a fire sale, is there anyone we think they'd realistically sell to us?
In that squad I'd be all over their CMs Guimares and Joelinton. I think the latter would be such a Klopp player in the middle, although we have a crowded roster at LCM.
Elsewhere on the pitch I'd have Livramento as a versatile back up full back, and I wonder if we'd reconsider our interest in Botman who we had seriously strong links with before he moved there.
I imagine that if they were forced to sell they'd look to Saudi (for obvious reasons) or non PL leagues.

Profit-wise we’re not even close on the available results, but we’ll take a dip this year with no Champions League revenue. Shouldn’t be enough to cause any problems.I know we are not in danger of breaching PSR but are we close and if so, how does it impact future transfer windows?
@Beamrider
Thanks in advance!
It’s an interesting question because it would make relegation almost inevitable if it happened. Reality is the current 10 points should have gone through last year but the panel ruled it was unfair to fast-track the decision which is why it happened this year. The rules changed in the mean time to take that power away from the panel (and probably because the PL thought Everton were fannying around too much).Is it likely, or even legal, to get a points deduction twice in the one season?
