The contract is a separate thing and not relevant to that rule. |  |

| What are the rules around kipre and akpom on 19:37 - May 5 with 803 views | SuffolkPunchFC | The fiscal year runs from July 1st to June 30th, and all accounting activity register in the year defined by those dates. I don’t know for sure that this means the transfer in counts for 25/26, but I strongly suspect it does since the transaction and therefore signing is for the 25/26 accounts. Edit: as far as I know there is no rule to prevent you buying and immediately reselling a player anyway. Section V of the rules say that Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window. There is also the limit of being registered to a maximum of 3 clubs, and play for a maximum 2 in a given season. [Post edited 5 May 19:45]

According to the PL rules a loan is considered a (temporary) transfer of registration. If the agreement says it becomes permanent (by option or obligation) on promotion, I would guess that it is part of this season’s agreement. |  | |  |

It's the registration rather than the finances that are relevant to whether we can sell them though. I suspect they will count as summer 2026 signings as that's when their registration transfers from their current parent club to us on a permanent basis. |  |

Loans are actually handled as (temporary) transfer of registration, so they are registered with us this season. Where there is an agreement that those registrations become permanent on some conditions, as is the case here, I suspect that the registration just becomes permanent, and is never transferred back to the selling club. The announcements today would seem to support that conclusion, although I don’t know for sure that’s how it works. |  | |  |
