Why has the purchase of Omari still not been officially announced? 08:01 - Jun 30 with 10010 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

It's Sunday now and still nothing, surely the medical's been completed?!
Those in the know are saying it's not to coincide with the new kit launch, so why is it taking so long? You'd think Ashton would be wanting to shout this from the rooftops!

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Yeah looks like it, finer minor details. I'm genuinely surprised at the grief I've got for asking the question though. Seems like it was a fair one to ask. Usually after journalists announce a deal it comes out officially later that day or the next, I guess this is such a big deal that it's taken a bit longer to iron all the bits and bobs out, which is fair enough.

Today seems to be like a deadline day, so many links and rumours of clubs desperate to sell,

That's it, £5M+ of wiggle room would show we were in a healthy position last season despite clearly pushing in January.

Chelsea will definitely want it concluded today if they remain behind PSR, but will want it tomorrow if they've already sorted themselves with other sales. For them it's very much a case of doing just enough each season to remain compliant, no benefit in 'overdoing it' when they want as big a budget as possible to play with in 24/25 and so on.


The only thing I’m not sure about is if a purchase on June 30th counts as 1 year of the amortised purchase or could we post 1 month? It could be by having the paperwork dated 30/6/24 our “hit” is £416,667 (1 month) as opposed to £5 million (1 year).

We can't announce we've bought a player - who we have actually bought - because we have to tell some admin person first who isn't at work today?!? Sounds a little far fetched to me.


Looks like I was right in that the idea we couldn't announce it because 'no-one was working at the PL today' was nonsense.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Needless to say I had the last laugh

Or that he really enjoys the bingo and was down the local Mecca for the afternoon giving it the old ‘Legs Eleven’

Back to the OP, I don’t think it was an unreasonable thing to ask. I’d actually be interested to know how transfers really work; why things are done, when and by whom.

I'm perfectly relaxed and I haven't remotely suggested Ashton and the crew don't know what they are doing.

Are some of you unable to read what is actually written?

I think it's actually prorated at 1/365th for accounting purposes.

Almost certainly would be.

That's why it was presumably so favourable to Chelsea to get it done yesterday, as they can recognise all of the upside into last year to help with their FFP, hence announcing it at 10pm on a Sunday night. The impact to us will be negligible whether it was yesterday or today.
