Because they used real money to buy them, Moshiri had run out of money using it on the stadium, we were wheeled dealing and trying to buy players loan to buy, with hardly any money up front, other clubs just stepped in.

West Ham bought him next summer. We were close a deal until ManU offered 100 million for Antony which was ridiculous so obviously they sold him. And didn't want to sell another winger so close to season.

Wouldn't mind but that was one of the worst overpriced buys in PL history, still think if we would have offered a bit more money beforehand, the player by all accounts wanted to sign for us, that deal would have been done and he'd be an Everton player, before United blundered in.

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?

Loss is caused by amortization, not expenditure. It goes something like this:

When club buys that player two items are added to the books: a 9 million loan and a 9 million asset. So from finance point-of-view there was no loss. When club pays off that loan their cash balance weakens, or they have to take another loan to cover that. But in either case these cancel each other out so no loss here either.

What does happen, though, is amortization (or deprecation) of that asset. Whenever any company buys any asset they are also amortized to some period of time, for example 10 years. Meaning they are essentially worth nothing after ten years. This would be done by deducting 10% of the original asset value each year. Reason is simple: there is an idea that of course value of machines and such deprecate over time and eventually they have to be replaced.

It works similar to player contracts. In your case period would be 3 years after which the contract is considered worthless - as it would be if it runs out.

As for your last question, as far I understand, no. Only what contract value deprecates in those 5 days remaining of the financial year would be logged to 24/25.

And just for clarification: deprecation and amortization mean the same thing, deprecation is used for tangible assets like machines and building while amortization is used for intangible assets, like player contracts.
