Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

[Saint Domingo]

Could be difficult seasons for Brentford or Bournemouth if they lose their manager and star players. The constant challenge to keep getting every appointment right just to stay mid table.

we almost signed delap for 30 mil

No spud, we didn't.

It was like me going to look at Range Rovers.

Alan Myers on just about every player we are linked with….

“My understanding is that it’s not going to happen,” Myers said.

“I don’t even know whether there is interest there, that’s what I’m told.”



Thanks Al for the useful info.

maybe with the new owners he won’t get info anymore?

Go and look at one that has 300k miles on and I’m sure you’d be able to. Like us signing Young.

We have shown our initial interest in Delap. So when we go back for him in 15 years, it’s a shoe in.

The transfer fee is written off over the length of the contract. The impact on this year's accounts would be fairly minimal (assuming we are using 30 June year end)

I may be wrong but my understanding was that if, for example, we signed a £9m player on a three year contract that £3m would be booked as expenditure in each of the three PSR periods from that point. So if we signed that player in June 25, £3m in expenditure would be logged for the 24/25 accounting window. Is that not correct?

I`ve been putting faith in to this club for the best part of 40 years, it never repays.

Good to see Mark Lawrenson is keeping himself busy.

This would be good news. Let it be known when we see them wander into FF for a medical. Do it quietly and efficiently. Too much over the recent past have the club kept feeding tall tales out to us the gullible.

I would have assumed it would be pro rata. If someone signed now for 3 years till June 28, you really only have 1 month out of 37 falling in this period.

I’m sure I saw someone comment that it would only be a months worth of that cost. So while it’s £3m over a year, it would effectively be £250k as there’s only a month left.

But I don’t know, would seem crazy to put a whole years into this year based off 1 month but who knows what the actual rules are

I suspect that if we sign them on a 37 month contract so early by a month only 1/37 finds its way into this years PSR numbers and 12/37ths for next three years

Who knows, gents, I hate how much I talk about finances now rather than football? I also hate how opaque all of the rules and regs seem to be too. Happy to be wrong on this one, if that is the case.

I agree. These are accounting rules though so I am pretty sure the 1/37 position would be correct

I hope not. I’d much prefer secret deals even if it makes speculating here less fun
