What happens if we break the rules - do we know?  From what I understand we have signed up to a deal with UEFA that means that were out the woods if we hit this agreement - whereas Chelsea have a longer period of being on a speical agreement.

Pressumably - the club thought that was the best option / realistic - but I just dont see how we will be able to reduce the losses this year without CL other than by making signficant player sales.  And given the situation is well publicised - I cant see us getting good prices for any of them unless its an asset that is highly indemand - which would most likely be Konsa, Rogers, Teileman, Kamara (though unlikely when injured), or maybe Onana.

Does anyone else feel though that if we navigate through
FFP
PSR
SCR

There will be something else to trip us u(and any other ambitious side) up along the way

Its such a rigged deck i am not sure when it goes from a motivational challenge for the likes of NSWE and Unai to being just not worth it anymore

Really sad state of affairs

Selling Guessand and Malen in the summer for the expected sums - more or less what we paid for them, won't make much of a difference in the accounts as the sales will be offset by the amortisation remaining on their contracts.

Are the amortisation sums not spread across future years though, where sales of any kind can be included in total? Again, apologies if that's a dim question.

I spoke to VIlla’s CFO earlier this week. He said both the Times and Kieran Maguire were guessing with regards to Villa’s compliance with the UEFA rules. He said there are a couple of transactions they are unaware of. So the implication was we won’t be fined this year.

Interesting...

The Premier League is to launch a streaming platform in Singapore that could pave the way for a global direct-to-consumer “Premflix” product, CEO Richard Masters has confirmed.

The long-rumoured new service, a collaboration with telco StarHub, will be called Premier League Plus and show all 380 games live as well as magazine content, starting next season.

Singapore will act as a pilot but the launch of the platform – which will broadcast non-stop content and be available via an app – will give the Premier League an additional option for maximising the value of its rights in all markets.

“For the first time, we’re going direct-to-consumer in Singapore. It’s a very long, considered process, carefully chosen,” said Masters.

^^ Wow! That’s the kind of ITK we need.

Crown Hill’s I meant. And good stuff from aev too.

Wonder if one of them is the El Gouuna or whatever it is called.

Our current CFO being Rich Cackett? The previous one or the one before, Robin Russell, died quite suddenly (after he'd left us).

You're probably right. Percy ?

Yes it was Rich.

He didn't expand beyond what I wrote which is why I was careful to say  implied we won’t be fined.

Depends on which rules. The above is correct under PL PSR. Under UEFA SCR, fees paid and received go into the accounts over three years.

Paul e is yer man though.
