This Encisco deal... 10:14 - Aug 21 with 1050 views | ElderGrizzly | I'm maybe late to this, but how can a company own a player, rather than a football club? Who owns the registration etc? Or is he effectively loaned each time, so the registration moves each time on a temporary basis? Is this a way to avoid PSR? What's to stop the Saudi fund buying 100 players as a company and then sending them to the highest bidder? Buying players as a company and then sending them to a new owner each time sounds like a place we don't want football to be going? |  | | |  |

This Encisco deal... on 10:21 - Aug 21 with 919 views | PioneerBlue | There are quite a few directions we probably don’t want to be going but the rat is out of the bag on many! Players on strike to force moves Player agents moving clients around like chess pieces to maximise revenue not player performance Clubs holding players until the last hours of a window rather than enabling loans to maximise performance by early summer involvements in new clubs preseason Massive clubs hoarding players and selling a few each year to maximise PSR Blar Blar Blar |  |

which presumably must mean theres more to it than appears obvious at a glance. a bit like for FFP rules you werent supposed to be able to sell your stadium to one of your other companies for unbelieavale amounts and then claim it as a profit on the books to buy players with. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

exactly.. .there are rules but they appear to only apply to some! The more money you have as a club the less you are scrutinised so it appears... Corrupt or what! |  | |  |

I get that example, but at least there it appeared one club was actually buying them even if we knew it was all a 'fix' The way I read the article, was it was a commercial company buying Encisco not a single club? |  | |  |
