Enzo Barrenechea - on loan at Benfica

[Ian.]

I don’t really gets how that helps us, other than a modest impact on wages.

Maybe there’s a plan to cover the FFP and this deal is more long term.

It gets us €15m next season. That’s our whole business model now, right?

€3m loan fee apparently. No need to put ‘whoop-e-doo’ or anything, I know.

I'm guessing if getting that money in now actually was critical, we'd have found a way to make that happen, be it with Benfica or someone else.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah I suppose so.

[Gareth]

The club are clearly comfortable with the loans route or they would be holding out for later in window to see if they can make sales…

…these bloody rules

Relax Paul, the accountants will take it from here.

[IFWaters]

Were not worried about cashflow, it says if he meets criteria then the obligation to pay activates at the end of the season, ie in this financial year.

[Drummond]

It's probably to be paid before 30th June and thus in this year.

[pauliewalnuts]

It doesn't matter when it's actually paid, it is when it is recorded as a sale.

[Drummond]

Yep that's what I meant. Providing we record it by 30th June, it's all good.
