Does the tfr fee we agree on all appear in that years accounts or only the amount we actually received say if it's spread over 3/4 season like a lot of tfr's are?

Given that the figure includes the Mac Allister income, presumably the dates would imply that it also includes our record outlay on João Pedro as well.

Would think so

I'm sure it's been said but for it not to include two of our highest ever transfer fees received is remarkable. We are bloody rolling in it.

That might not have had any impact on the P&L yet. Do new player contracts have an earliest start date of 1 July, even if effectively concluded in May and June?

The £29m fee [ @AZ Gull to confirm] is charged as a cost over 5 equal annual instalments.

£3m a year for StarLizard or 3 million Euro for Pascal Gross? Which is the better bargain? I am guessing that the first begat the second. And then there was more begatting than the early part of the Bible.

It's a great business model but does it need to evolve now? To get to this position we sold White, Trossard, Bissouma, MacAllister, Caicedo and Cucurella. Just imagine if we had been able to keep them where would we be now?
I guess the vision has to evolve to a point where we can retain top players to reach the top level, and wages will surely be a factor. Luckily we have the best Chairman in the PL and he'll have it all sorted.

We’d have a bunch of incredibly unhappy players held back against their wishes (other than those that would have let their contracts run down and left for nothing anyway).

Average wage of £90k a week in a season you got relegated!!! YIKES!
For players who didn't look interested most of the season.

Leicester is a fantastic example of how things can go sour very quickly - despite winning the Premier League in 2017, and making huge profits that year, then selling Maguire, Chilwell, Drinkwater, Mahrez and Fofana for a combined £300m, they have managed to incur the wrath of the EPL and the EFL in recent seasons. Thankfully, with TB and PBOBE at the helm, it's very unlikely we would ever get into that situation.

If we hadn't sold them we wouldn't have developed and played Mitoma, Van Hecke, Enciso, Verbruggen, Pedro, Ferguson and Buonanotte. And so it goes on.

Exactly, so somehow we've got to become a big club and win things and play in Europe every season. So how do we make that happen?

I’d like European Football regularly and a new women’s stadium allied to paying TB off £30m or so a season. That is profound success in my eyes.

I have a random vision of some of the less intelligent football club owners seeing that news and having the hump. Then asking their accountant (or whoever) how come their club isn't making profits like BHA and their accountants having to explain it in very simple terms to them! :facepalm:
Amazing that we've paid some of the loan back. :ascarf:

Our profits next year will be from Chelsea paying an extortionate release clause for our accountancy team - their pens and the grey filing cabinet in the corner as add ons 🙂
