Carnero Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 5 minutes ago, SaintRam said: So we gave them additional years so we wouldnt take the hit to FFP on the 18/19 books, but will likely release them ahead of the 19/20 season. Makes sense in terms of FFP but the fact it overcomplicates things to this degree is pretty absurd. Helped the 17/18 books too if they were eventually treated as having 2 years remaining rather than 1, assuming the contracts were extended before the accounts were finalised (likely). Clever accounting and shows up the nonsense of FFP. So many loopholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Am I right in thinking that the deals for Blackman and Butterfield were done before the Q&A with Frank and Mel Morris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 As far as I understood it the amortisation rules changed, but would this be a way of stretching out the length of time on the £13m we spent on those three for FFP purposes? Or just a delaying losses to next financial period exercise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contracts should be written down to zero if we know that they have no value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsFan10 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 So we've asked 2 players to sign radically reduced extensions, so that we can buy them out of said extensions before the start of the season and not have what we paid for them deducted from FFP/PAS expenditure? ?This seems even more dodgy than the selling the stadium to Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Can I just check we're not jumping the gun on Blackman and Butterfield here - Could it be that their loan contracts aren't technically finished yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Why give Bryson a new contract? He's not been good for us for several years now, I like the guy, but I liked Nuge too, it makes sense to release Bryson with the rest and start to replace our midfield, rather disappointed.

B4ev6is Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I cant believe given nick blackman a new contract unless someone wants to buy him then make sence so we can get a fee for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I am glad Johnson will be sticking around and on reduced terms as well (unless he is also going to be offed along with Butters and Blackman). If Bryson signs on reduced terms i wont mind having him around as a useful squad player - even on lower wages i imagine we'd still be offering more than anything he could get in Scotland. Surprised about Elsnik, but we do appear to have a lot of talented youth players coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood P Dowd Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Perhaps it’s time to ignore the football and simply support the team with the most inventive and active set of accountants. Just joking but 5 years ago we would not have seen any postings about accounting practices now we write about 442 v 433 and amortisation rates.?
