Cole Palmer has signed a new Chelsea contract to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge until 2033.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is now on a nine-year deal with improved terms after a sensational breakthrough season in west London.
Must be breaking some kind of rules. |  |

It's very very cynical on PSR
Would be quite amusing if someone sat on one of those contracts even when they were way past their best |  |

Why would that be breaking any rules?
If he gets a nasty injury which limits him, without fully ending his career, then they are on the hook for the duration of the contract.
It's the quantity of players that Chelsea sign that is problematic. I don't have a problem with any club, that can afford it, tying their best players to long contracts. Limits the extent that agents can hold them to ransom, for one thing. |  | | |

Could the player be, for want of a better word, complicit?
If they know that the deal won't happen without a creative contract, might they be willing to sign a seven-year contract, with, say, the wage for the final three years being a peppercorn? The player could safeguard their position by having mandatory extension clauses built in, which will increase the period of the contract for which a proper wage is paid? | |

Other than locking the player in and making it more expensive for other clubs to sign him I'm not sure how this helps them from a PRS perspective. The maximum period over which deals could be amortised was limited to 5 years during a ruling last year. | |

Seriously needs looking at. Only one reason why they would do it and that is to flounce a rule or 2. | |

Exactly what rule(s) or are you just speculating.?
Let me speculate It could be any buy out clause inserted in the original contract was far too low.
As for risk to Chelsea I’m sure they will take out suitable insurance to cover the risk. |  |

Never known a player to be offered a 9 year contract. They could have just given him a 4 year deal with new clauses. 9 years seems very excessive to me. Must be a reason and this is Chelsea. | |

I remember Winston Bogarde doing that for Chelsea. Refused to leave for 3 years I think making 1 appearance. |  |

Apart from the fact they constantly spend vast sums of money I agree! |  | | |

Comes in the category of "avoidance" rather than "evasion".
In return for potentially being able to amortise the payment over a very long period, they're taking a massive risk on the player remaining fit and any good for the bulk of his career. It could help secure a big fee from any future buyer, but might also necessitate a big write-down should they wish to offload and nobody is prepared to meet that valuation.
It has some reward, but not without significant risk. It doesn't, so far as I can see, break any rules. |  |

The Marcus Evans Academy of Football Ownership concerns itself more with sheer incompetence than money spent or not spent. | | | |
