FFP is a continual assessment over a three year period, not an assessment every three years. I don't think that's how the transfer fees are accounted for either. The summer transfer splurge isn't one big amount. Each transfer fee is spread out over the length of contract for FFP purposes. In terms of Christie and Braithwaite, because they've already left the club then they already show as a final profit/loss figure. The players who are still here however will continue to be part of the assessment. So for example, Howson signed for £5m and on a four year deal therefore he will still have a book value here, the same goes for Assombalonga, Fletcher, Shotton etc. In terms of Randolph, not having to pay the £1.2m left is actually a bad thing for us, if I'm understanding this correctly. If we'd made West Ham pay us £5.2m, instead of £4m, and agreed to pay them the difference as previously agreed, then we'd have a larger profit for FFP purposes as the value in our accounts would show as £5.2m minus the book value rather than £4m minus the book value. I don't know which book value is correct for Randolph, the last set of full accounts where he will show as £2.5m or the end of the current year where he will show as £1.25m. £5.2m minus either of those figures is better than £4m minus them. The fact that we don't have to pay West Ham the extra £1.2m doesn't change the value that Randolph shows on our accounts as that will still be based on the transfer fee we agreed in the first place. Someone will have to check me on that though as that's just how I figured it works. Obviously wages show as you'd expect them to show though. Selling Randolph and playing Pears should indeed save us a few million quid but we can say the same about a lot of players and I doubt people are going to be quite so positive about making those changes - let's sell Ayala and play Wood. Let's sell Howson and play Spence. Let's sell Fletcher and play Walker. Let's sell Assombalonga and play, well, anyone 😉 The primary issue shouldn't be about saving money, it should be about getting the best team on the field. Hopefully selling Randolph can help us do that, allowing us to use resources elsewhere but we'll see. Who's to say it hasnt been put down in the books as them paying us 5.2m and us paying them the 1.2m straight back? I imagine if that is better for FFP then we will have tried to negotiate it this way? Just because that's not how it is coming out in the press doesnt mean the numbers people behind the scenes haven't organised it that way Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Randolph deal is essentially 4 m earnings and 4 m savings on costs over 18 months Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise Sky don't own SkyBet don't you? Sky Sports might make up *** to get clicks and post any old transfer rumour but I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with them trying to get people to bet on transfer stories.

They did, but they sold 80% of it to a Canadian firm. I’m pretty sure that they still retain a 20% share. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it’s confusing, because they use the sky tv logo and their branding is prevalent on Sky Sports programmes and apps. Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention Randolph has 42 international caps to heatons 3. In addition the 4 + 1.2mil is purely speculation and what itkers have heard, doesnt make it so. Graeme bailey had said he has heard its 4mil in total. Randolph has played 29 games in the prem, not 111. He has not played a full prem season, with his most appearances a 22 game spell before Adrian returned to the side. The 111 is SPL appearances 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nevertheless he was brilliant for us and well worth the money we paid. Has a Championship keeper ever gone for more than roughly 5 million? Link to post Share on other sites

I mean even Jack Butland only moved to Stoke for £3.5 million and at the time he was future England keeper Link to post Share on other sites
