Practically speaking, I think this was part of the reason the club would rather sell Malen for £20-odd-million, than Bogarde for about the same. That’s not to say we wouldn’t do both if the opportunity arises, just that when given a choice, under SCR, the big earner is the wiser financial option.

This.

I think it will take a while for supporters (not just us, all across the league) to come to terms with 'good' players more likely to be sold - they're contributing on the pitch, but they also make up a bigger chunk of the wage cost and thus make more of an impact on the bottom line than young inexperienced players.

Also, I'm pretty sure people will still be calling it PSR in 5 years time. We are slow to learn.

Maybe changing the thread title to SCR may help with education. As someone has mentioned before “it’s making my teeth itch”.

Think a lot of people have only just moved on to that from FFP (see thread title)

Folk's use of "the Premiership" was only finally phased-out on NYE 2025.

Incorrect

A good season for Swindon, Stockport, or whoever is no endorsement that they’ll make it in the Premiership.

Absolutely no way can a modern Premiership side go 2 transfer windows without strengthening the squad
