All very odd, clearly more to this than club willing to let on. Just a hunch. Maybe he was led to believe the relegation release clause was met and then we changed the goalposts? All agent led as usual!!! |  |

If the clause was met then there would be nothing we could do to move the goalposts. |  | |  |

Not sure we 'moved the goalposts' if the clause was for a large proportion or all of the fee upfront. We got 2/3rd of the Delap fee upfront for example. £35m over the life of the contract does nothing for us in terms of PSR. |  |

I expect both sides expect a deal to be done this week so probably not much point him back. I suspect if no deal done by the end of the week he’ll be expected to return next week. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Not sure how the structure of the payments affects PSR. In fact i suspect it doesn’t at all but in terms of the true value of the deal £35m cash now is considerably better than £35m over 5 years. |  | |  |

PSR doesn’t affect all , you declare the full value or the transfer for the books. As you rightly state, cash position would the concern. |  |

This is it. Cash flow is the issue. When we signed Hutch for £22.5m (all told) we could amortise that over the whole contract. If we sell him to Brentford, we can't amortise anything that isn't our asset, so for the books we have to declare the remaining value of the transfer, (lets say £18m). But I don't think you are right that we put the full value of the sold player on the books if it is paid in instalments, I'm fairly confident we would have to put the instalment value, as incoming seasonal revenue. Happy to be corrected, but sure thats the case. |  |

I don't think it's anything particularly out of the ordinary, players try to force moves through and then things speed up and slow down - we've been on both sides of it in the past and will be in the future - if he's still here come August 8th then he'll be at St Andrews |  |

No, the full transfer fee goes into the books for FFP purposes, in the same way. So we'll bank a £17m[ish] profit on the disposal of this asset for our books |  |

For PSR and accounting purposes, we declare the full profit immediately. The payment schedule doesn't matter for PSR or for reporting profit and loss. The calculation is just the amount we are due to receive, minus the remaining player value that hasn't been amortised. Think of it that as being paid some in cash, but some in IOUs. Those IOUs are legally binding and an IOU for £1m is still worth £1m cash and can be redeemed as such (when the time comes). |  | |  |

The phasing of the payments makes no odds from a PSR perspective, both on signings and departures. On signing, the transfer fee is spread over the length of the contract. On selling, the profit (or loss) on disposal is recognised immediately. That's more akin to typical accounting treatment of asset purchases & disposal. The contentious element to the phasing of payments is more the 'real life' stuff, not the PSR calculations. Namely cash flow and the opportunity cost of capital. Imagine a scenario (1) where Brentford pay us £35m up front, that can sit in the bank in in other interests. Assuming a 5% return, that's £1.75m a year. Alternatively scenario 2 we get 1/3 of it each year for the next 3 and generate the same return. That effectively makes scenario 1 worth £40.5m vs. 2 worth £38.5m give or take. |  | |  |

A bit less I think. Assuming we paid £22m with the add ons, sell him for £35m and Chelsea take a 20% cut of the profit (£2.6m). His book value will be in the region of £17.5m given we've unwound 1 year of the fee into last season, so I make it a c. £15m profit on disposal. |  | |  |

I thinking we may have unwound 2 years of the fee, since I'm certain that Hutch signed before the end of the 23/24 season for accounting (29th June 2024). Therefore won't we have accounted for 2/5th - 1/5th in the 24/25 accounts which are now closed, and 1/5th in the 25/26 accounting period (which we are now in), and which the sale will appear in. |  | |  |

Surely thats a breach on his side of the contract..... do players get docked when they refuse to honour their contractual commitments? |  | |  |

It is done by days rather than years, so signing before June 30th doesn't give you that whole year |  |

Its done on a straight line basis, so might be slightly over 1 year but not by a lot. |  | |  |
