Seems we're paying / offering more for players this time out. Wonder if this means we're going for fewer signings of a higher quality.

Am I right in thinking that the Squad Cost Ratio rules gives us a bit more room for movement?

We'll have to offer larger wages to players I imagine to get them to come here than go to more established teams I expect

SCR rules next season, any accountants able to shed some light on this? by SuffolkPunchFC 4 May 10:35
I have your numbers way out [smile]

My quick calculation, based on 24/25 accounts for when we were last in the PL.

Revenue £155M
Total wage bill £77M
Player costs amortised £30M
(estimated to be £27M now, due to Delap and Hutchinson leaving, and accounting for new signings)

Estimated Revenue for 26/27 £180M
At 85% SCR, that gives us £153M to play around with
(There are 'safe' ways to exceed this but reduce future flexibility, so will ignore that)

Remove costs excluding player amortisation (£77M-£27M = £50M) leaves £103M

The signings would of course have to be paid - so let's assume 8 players at £50k/week, so £21M, reducing the headroom to £82M

Signings of players over 4 year contracts would allow £328M, or £410M for 5 years (contracts would of course vary) after amortisation

Now, we would not IMO want to go anywhere near 85% SCR ratio - we were 49% last year, but I don't see SCR being the limiting factor for us - it would be other fiscal responsibility that determines what we're prepared to put into player signing.

This is a quick calculation (so ignore positives such as players leaving), but I think it's about right.

if hypothetically we got another sizeable investment in the club - could we spend that on top of the rest under scr?

Investment can't be added to match related income, so no - it doesn't increase the SCR ceiling. However, I don't see SCR being what caps our spend on recruitment - there's no way we spend £300-400M this summer. More like up to £200M.

Owner investment presumably helps with SSR compliance though ( liquidity, working capital, and positive equity tests). It provides working capital and much of it will be put into infrastructure development, and those assets are party of the club's equity.

Halo could sponsor the new training ground for £100m though and that would be allowed wouldn't it?

My concern is that we generally overpay for players coming in and get less than we could for the players that leave (although I accept there are exceptions).

Maybe we should toughen up our negotiating skills.

Yes, sponsorship is included in the commercial income, although it has to be demonstrably 'market value', and the training ground at £100M would almost certainly not meet that test.

Sponsorship is the way Wrexham and Birmingham manage to spend beyond what would be expected for clubs at their level over the past few years.
