Churlinov,Trafford.Vitinhio ,Twine,Bastien for a kick off.
Churlinov - £5 million ish, contract expires 2026
Trafford - up to £15 million ish plus addons, contract expires 2027
Vitinho - fee unknown, rumoured to be £1-2 million, contract expires 2027
Twine - £4-5 million ish, contract until 2026
Bastien - £800k, contract until 2025

Twine was unfortunate with injury in his first season with us so he’s a year behind in development compared to the rest

They’re all of a good age and we won’t lose money on them, but I’d love to hear why you think we will

From this seasons signings I can currently only see Koleosho going for profit
See my other response

You’re generally a negative person when it comes to this sort of stuff, I’ve noticed, but the ages, contract lengths and development arc for the squad means we won’t lose money on them

A handful?

If we did, that would be made up on the sales of others so it would balance out and we’d be in profit
Make your mind up. You said we won't lose money on any of them! :lol:

Seriously though, I admire your unshakeable belief in something that nobody, not even the board of directors, knows just how it will pan out.

There's an element of risk involved in all transfers. Sometimes they don't work out and you lose some money. I'm not sure why that's such a controversial opinion for you.

No way will we get a decent amount of money back for Churlinov,it’s tough that he’s been seriously ill but he wasn’t good enough in the championship,Twine isn’t even rated by the Hull fans ,and any one whose willing to pay over £2 mill for Trafford will have been conned more than we were .Promising goalkeepers are 10 a penny look at the likes of Butland and Kirkland brilliant as kids but never made the step up.

I'll be willing to bet you a £50 donation to the charity of the boards choosing we won't make money on Churlinov.

You're guaranteeing profit so I'm sure you won't mind taking up this bet for a good cause?

I think you're being highly optimistic there.

No idea how we're getting near £5m for Churlinov considering he's barely played and when he has, hasn't looked up to scratch.
Trafford will need to improve markedly to recoup anything close to £15m.
Vitinho - ok, probably make our money back, but we're not talking jackpot.
Twine - potential, but I don't think he's setting the world alight at Hull
Bastien - low fee, maybe will make it back, but is he playing in Turkey? Heard nothing.

Because they are more than likely going to have to be sold or loaned out in 7-8 months time
IF we were relegated I’d imagine it’d be largely squad fillers that’d leave (twines,mcnallys,costelloes etc).

There’s no need for a fire sale like last time, totally different squad and circumstances. Finances are fine so no big need for book balancing.

Most will stay for continued development.

May be different I guess if manager changes, which I wouldn’t expect to happen.

Churlinov had that serious illness
Trafford - still young and will improve
Vitinho - doesn’t have to be jackpot
Twine - as I said he missed most of last season, but he’s also being played out on the wing now
Bastien - was getting game time but he’s been injured since mid October

Why just Churlinov?
He had blood poisoning and is recovering from that because he lost both weight and muscle mass

Bit harsh to target just him, but I suppose you want a sure fire win to boost your ego and that shows me what kind of person you are

Sorry, not playing that one

When he’s fit, he’ll prove his worth and he’s got time yet

Most might stay because they won’t get better offers than they are already on. It’s not a good indicator that are deemed unworthy to poach it’s a good indicator that other clubs aren’t interested & we are paying them over the odds because even though that they would be contractually tied in it wouldn’t be an insurmountable obstacle if another club offered the right sort of money, it’s a principle that’s universally applied with every players got a price.

Absolutely, every player will have their price but I’d expect most to stay/not be sold.

Because I'm not the one saying we will guarantee profit on all our players. I've picked one of our players, yet strangely enough you don't feel confident about it now. It's almost like you just take an extreme view to start arguments but don't actually believe what you're saying.

It is quite mental when you think about where we are now vs May.

There wouldn’t be so much debate if things looked at least a little sensible - even if we were this poor but when you have 11+ wingers, expensive players not making the match day squad, ‘director of matchday experience’/club throwing shade at the supporters then this is what you get….

- It really is indicative of the mess that’s been made.

We were probably as ‘aligned’ (to coin a Dycheism) as we had been as a club/fanbase et al since May 2009, all for 6 months to go by and now it’s approaching Laws at Barnsely territory.

Absolutely no one associated with BFC, even the happiest of happy clappers would have took where we are now after the Blackburn game and would have laughed at you if you’d have suggested it.

The narrative has gone from:
‘we can have a real go at it this year and who knows, we could be pushing towards midtable/top half’

‘first few games are a write off anyway’

‘Judge us after we have played some teams in and around us’

‘Well we don’t know, we could be even better in two years’

That is pure delusion and huffing copium to the extreme.

At least admit that it stinks instead of playing this ‘our fans have no patience’ nonsense.

One win in thirteen - it’s **** poor and if we go on anywhere near like we have then it will have been a catastrophic failure.

The ones that impress or have itchy feet will be off in a flash, I’m not sure if there’s any consolation to be had that the 1s that are more likely to stay will be substandard.

I completely disagree, you’re forgetting the players interests. I suspect a large portion will be like Weghorst and have absolutely zero interest of playing in the championship.

Tresor for example i suspect will go back to Belgium and get some European football.
Odobert might drop with us, but again I suspect he will want to go back to Europe.
Muric will definitely leave as Trafford will still be number 1.
Ramsey will stay.
Berge will stay but wouldn’t be surprised if one of the newly promoted clubs tries to get him in on loan.
Amdouni will 100% leave. No way he will want to drop.

I also think the club will want to recoup a fair bit of last summers outlay.

On pace to go down as one of the worst ever PL sides and fans are salivating at the prospect of potentially selling massively underperforming players on for a profit.

Wtf?!

Berge would leave I think, player ambition besides the club would actively look to offload all the highest earners with championship revenue.

You’ve picked the only one recovering from a major illness, like you’re playing it safe because you want to win

Pick Trafford if you want, I’m not betting on someone who’s had a serious/life threatening illness so recently

I’m confident we’ll make money on them all, but then again I’m not the doomsayer some of you love being :lol:

We’ll see I guess. Think the squad will be trimmed for numbers bottom up as well as Cork/Jay moving on.

No pressure to sell unless valuations are met. They’ll always be exceptions that don’t want to play 2nd tier but in general we don’t have that many ‘finished articles’ like we did last time.

Very few players at the club I’d describe as substandard unless you refer to your Twines,Mcnallys,costelloes who are the most likely departees in my view.

I wouldn’t worry about pressure to sell in all honesty nobody would want them the way things are currently, it’s the other way around I’d be more worried about is how we can get rid of them.

Not really clear whether it's dafter to think we're going to make a profit on every player or to think we're going to sell the whole squad at a loss next summer.

The difference is I’m more bothered about having a team that can win a game - the rest will take care of itself.

Do that and perform a bit then we can talk about which player might have outgrown us and send them on their merry way

It's a question that's impossible to answer until that juncture is reached, but with the way things are currently & if things don't change it doesn't brim you full of confidence that a stampede of clubs will be in pursuit of our players more the club trying to find ways of selling them or loaning them out anything to get them off the books.

‘Judge us after we have played some teams in and around us’

‘Well we don’t know, we could be even better in two years’

That is pure delusion and huffing copium to the extreme.

At least admit that it stinks instead of playing this ‘our fans have no patience’ nonsense.

One win in thirteen - it’s **** poor and if we go on anywhere near like we have then it will have been a catastrophic failure.
It’s a project with no time limit ,didn’t you know 😂😂😂😂 and wasn’t there something stated round about March that we were in a good position and could start planning for the Premiership well before the season ended.

Hi Paul

Yes that’s correct in terms of the balance sheet impact and how amortisation of player assets is usually accounted for.
Hi Big V K, you've got banking experience, I understand. I'm sure you meant to say that amortisation is a profit and loss charge rather than "balance sheet." The club's balance sheet will show the amount owed to the selling club at the balance sheet date, and, of course, the remaining balance after all the amortisation charges, of the total value of the amount spent to acquire all the players' contracts at the same date.

We have a squad full of good up and coming talent. We have also massively ballsed up our recruitment in the summer.

For the sake of VK I hope we win on saturday and sneak a few wins before the halfway stage to give us a fighting chance. I'm not bothered about going down, but I'd like to see us show some fight and improvement (which we have in patches).

I believe in this "project" but my worry is, that the further down the line we go without picking up points, then his position becomes untenable, and we will have to start again.

Koleosho and Berge have stepped up to the plate recently, we need others to do so now, especially as our shining light Foster is now unavailable.

Badly worded probably Paul but I meant in terms of the way the assets of players are treated on the balance sheet and the value applied post amortisation.
Yep understand the write down amount / amortisation charge is part of the P & L and try to explain it simply to people as the equivalent of depreciation on a fixed asset.

Any chance the accountancy talk can go on the financial thread ? I personally find it mind numbing and come on here for escape and to discuss football.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Either way you named him above as a player specifically so I think it's fair to choose him.

He was named by someone else and I just referenced his contract, what we paid etc

Choose someone else or shush about the matter, you’re droning on now and it’s boring me

Choosing someone else would defeat the purpose. You've said we will make money on them all, I've picked one and you've baulked.

Let me know if you decide to put your money where your mouth is.

Hi Paul,

No I wasn’t referring to the amortisation treatment, just that in my experience the payments have tallied to the years on the contract. Wood - 2 years, 2 payments. I thought Pope was 4 years, 4 payments too from the Macquarie loans.

In any event, my point is that if we spent £96m - which seems about right - then only a proportion of that would’ve been payable up front. That might be £20m - £30m, depending on how we’ve structured the deals but it’s certainly not £96m outlay in one go.

Then further, as you say, there will be add-ons that will only be triggered if the players are successful. I heard the Trafford deal was nowhere near the reported fee in guaranteed payments for example.
Hi New, I've no found the time to take a look at the Macquarie loans advancing cash for both Nick Pope and Nathan Collins. I remember Nick Pope being spread over 3 further payments from Newcastle - and presumably, an equal down payment making 4 payments in total, working out a little less than £10 million. (I assume there could also be some add-ons). I'm not sure if I'd ever looked at Nathan Collins charge before, 3 payments, 2023, 2024 and 2025 each of £5 million due from Wolves and again, with an equal down payment the 4 would total £20 million. (I would assume the fact that Wolves sold Collins to Brentford doesn't change any of the timings of the further payments due to Burnley/Macquarie. Anyone know any different?).

Of course, these are outgoing transfers. Do we see similar "macquarie advances and security charges" when BFC is the buyer?

You would think that when Collins transferred to Brentford we would have received the outstanding balance due from Wolves.

We’d effectively received it anyway, so any fees would’ve gone straight to Macquarie.

To my knowledge though, selling a player on doesn’t require the selling club to accelerate any outstanding payments.

Hi Paul,

I think Pope signed a 4 year deal, with three instalments. I’m imagining the downpayment was £3m and there was then 3 further payments of £2.33m to make up the £10m.

With Collins, he signed a 5 year deal so I think the fee was £20m, 4x£5m.

That supports Boyyanno’s point that they are not all equal, but I’d be really shocked if we’d spent much more than £25-£30m.

Newcastle used to have a policy of paying all transfer fees up front under Ashley. Which might explain why he didn’t make many signings. I think everyone else pays on the drip like us.

From what I remember of our accounts most of our transfer fees in the last 10 years or so we’ve been in and around the Premier League have been spread over 3 or 4 years.
As you say I think it’s pretty common practice amongst most clubs.

If a club does all the fee in one amount at the outset I’d imagine they would be incentivised to do so and this would be reflected in the transfer fee.

If a club receives £20m up front for a player and that club then uses that to buy new players over instalments of 3 or 4 years that it is quite a significant benefit.

Yes the funds paid to us to then clear the advance.
