Always an interesting read.
Cheers. I'm looking forward to doing something (and I won't do a hatchet job) when Palace announce their results, but Parish refuses to publish them, even though the. It's a genuine shame as (guilty secret revealed) I thought he did the right thing in pursuing Pulis for the retainer a few years ago, and Palace are a well run club these days, although he doesn't help himself at times by setting up service companies and calling them things such as Smoke and Mirrors Limited.
It also means that I can't finish the club valuation article for 2017 and have to use Palace's value from 2016, which is less than half of the 2017 value if my estimates are correct.

If in the short term it allows them to comply with FFP, avoid a transfer embargo and achieve promotion to the PL then it's not okay though surely?

If you hate Boro more than Villa, why do you want them to turn them over and make the final ?
Fulham are decent and certainly better than Boro, but flaky. I definitely don't want Boro having the chance of fluking their way up to the PL in a one-off at Wembley. I'd be mightily pissed off if that happened.
Nope, I stick to my original post. I hope Villa finish the job and dry hump them tonight. Then I won't mind too much who goes up.
That's not nice but not unique to one club.
Both sets of fans were pretty loud at times (very unusual for Fulham) although both could do with a few more chants (and fewer clackers). Derby did sing about Fulham being a shithole and wanting to go home, which I though was pretty funny.
Aren't we 1 from 5?
1991 - lost final
2004 - won
2013 - lost SF
2014 - lost SF
2016 - lost SF
I guess you could count 2016 as the first of our second round of play offs.

I've a bit of a soft spot for Derby honestly. My brother was there for Uni so I spent a fair bit of time in the town. Plus their fans were generally nice enough when we went up there, the Solly and Conor incidents aside.
Footballing wise though I'd have liked to see them progress because of Gary Rowett to further rub it in the noses of Birmingham which, in contrast to Derby, is actually a shit-hole filled with ********.

Fair enough - which accounting rules say you can't do it?
Don't businesses have some leeway in how they depreciate their assets?
I understand the second part, I just didn't know that it wasn't ok to reflect as asset like that, because it can be a true fair reflection of the value of an asset - if you buy a player for £5m, and with 1 year left on the contract you sell them for £5m, you didn't really need to write their purchase price off as a cost, do you. But if that's against the rules, fair enough, I didn't know.
If, as above, it's against company law, then fair enough, they can't do it, it's cheating. However, if companies are allowed to amortise assets in that way, the fact that it helps comply with FFP isn't on it's own an issue.
So given that they've broken the law (according to posts above) will they get pulled up on it?

Yep, not sure why everyone wants a trip to villa again. Not much fun had there other than trying to find the one kiosk that served alcohol.

I have noticed the odd Palace related dig
Fair play. I suppose all the time the fine for late accounts is peanuts clubs/people will take advantage. I reckon our wage bill will be up and around £85m this season. Thanks for creating this content in simple terms for non accountants like me to read and understand.
