Chelsea spending explained 08:07 - Aug 19 with 3291 views | gtsb1966 | Long read but one thing I don't get. Take the Mudryk contract for example does that mean that his former club only get the full transfer money after the 8 years and recieve just 10 million a year? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66507341 [Post edited 19 Aug 2023 8:10]

It helps because they are spreading the cost of their purchases. FFP is about losses per year. |  | |  |

Spreading the cost, yes. You pay over 8 years and its less per year. But amortising them doesn't help with that. |  | |  |

Sorry, I shouldn't have said "spreading the cost" as it's ambiguous and could be taken to mean only paying £10m a year over 8 years which is not AFAIK the case with the Museum deal. It is all about amortisation i.e spend all £80m in year 1, but only lose £10m per year as that is the amortisation over 8 years. |  | |  |

Its still spent. I dont see how it assists with ffp. They have previously tried to mitigate ffp by spreading the cost, in the books, over the years. Helps a bit but I dont see how amortising does so. They have still spent the money, which is presumably what ffp works on. |  | |  |
