I see where your coming from, I just thought you had to make allowances in the accounts for future/further revenue, multi year season tickets being an example.

 

So there’s nothing stopping DC selling the ground for 30 million this income ALL showing in 2019 and then we pay DC ‘friend’ who we sell the ground to for 500k per year on going. Meaning we clear FFP this season and have 20 million left over to spend without selling anyone.

 

 

Assets like the ground have a value shown in the accounts. If we sell the asset for the same amount as it is shown in the accounts for we effectively get the money but lose the asset so the 2 things cancel each other out.

 

If we sell the ground for more than it is valued in the accounts then the money we get will exceed the asset value and we make a profit. If we get less it will show as a loss. Property like the ground should increase in value over time, some companies have their property re-valued regularly, some very rarely do. I've no idea what Hillsborough is shown in the accounts as being worth.

 

 If we get a lot more for the ground than it is really worth the authorities can disallow the excess on the basis that we are just trying to get round FFP. They have sweeping powers under the sustainability regulations to try to stop clubs fiddling the system.

Reach very much like brunt. I would say needs a move to the big league to see whether he can cut it.

he can hit a ball and cross, team like Fulham could use him . 12m would be a good price .

Thanks for explaining, appreciate it, going back on topic I’d sell Reach to the highest bidder hopefully for close to 15 million.

You are right on the first bit. FFP is based on the accounts and the accounts have to be based on UK accounting standards.

 

So if you buy a player for 9m on a 3 year contract then the cost is spread out over those 3 years in equal instalments. You presume the player is worth nothing at the end of his contract which is true 

 

So after 2 years the player is now worth 3m on the books and you have a cost of 3m in year 1 and 3m in year 2. 

 

If you then sell the player for 12m in Year 3 you recognise the profit in full - which is based on the proceeds minus current carrying value would be 9m. You have made a real profit of 3m but you also get back the 6m cost that actually isn't now a cost.

 

You can see how selling a player could have a huge impact on the FFP

 

How Wolves got away with it as they had loan players to start with then bought them. So only had to include the cost of the loan not the transfer fee amortization in the key Year 1

Without looking about 25m but includes the training ground 

[Guest mkowl]

In fact in the last accounts 23.4m was the carrying value. The training ground is shown separately at 3m or so

 

So a 30m sale would give a 6.6m profit 

[toppOwl]

There are a few factors to consider:

 

• Clubs know we are on an P&S tightrope so will offer less than top dollar for any of our players, they'll try it on with cheeky bids to test our mettle
• Is it worth selling Reach for a lesser sum and losing a very good player
• He is probably the most saleable asset at the club so if his sale goes some way to getting out of the mess it has to be considered 
• Can the money we get for him be spent on new additions or does it just go some way to getting us back to zero losses
• DC doesn't like to sell what he considers his assets, there seems to be some movement in the background to get other players off the wage bill (Van Aken, Hooper) so other options may be being looked at
• I'd be happy to let FF go, too much baggage and a long time since we saw the payer he can be, the severity of his injury may prevent this

Agree 15m plus for me, anything lower in this crazy market seems cheap 

Agree-15M

[OwlinOldham]

Theres two very big if's in all of this.....

 

The first being if there really is intrest, would DC actually sell him? Afterall, DC still seems to think we can still go up this year.

 

The second being if we did sell Reach, Would Bruce actually be given the money to then spend on new players? Selling Reach to fill the FFP/P&S hole makes sense. However, using that money to then buy more players doesnt. Surely doing this would actually just leave FFP/P&S still hanging over us.

 

If Reach is sold id expect no incomings and a possible meltdown on here.

Theres been other clubs interested in Reach for a couple of seasons now,Sean Dyche is a known admirer and at LEAST one other premier club,quite possibly Wolves by all accounts,hes our most valuable asset,and a VERY good footballer,as weve all seen hes got a good engine,is virtually injury free plays almost every game of a season,the kids a proper pro.Hel get a better move than Villa but we have to set a value that reflects the money sloshing around in the prem.15M and then some.

One trick DC has missed during his reign as chairman is speculating on lower league players to increase in value and sell on at a profit,strikers especially,they bring the largest mark up,that could have aided us with FFP

I never said I did But unlike a lot of Sheffield Wednesday fans I think realistically Adam reach is a good player but he’s not all that  either.

people think he’s A 15 20 million pound player We paid 5 million 10 million bid in my eyes would be A Fair price

And in the situation that we are in with FairPlay if it was paid in one lump sum it would solve a lot of our problems

I can only imagine what Bruce would be able to get in least 2 or 3 players in with 10 million with the same quality or better and more consistent but that’s just my opinion

Always, always build a squad around your better players. The financial value and their worth on the pitch are 2 very different things.

i would sooner have one Reach over three insignificant squad players. All day, every day!

Drive, positivity, recognises the value of working the channels, can play all over the park.... and the most significant thing that’s been brought up here is that other clubs are interested in him.. not for his smile, nice hair or accent . Because they can can see his virtues

Well apart from bieng the best player at the club that never hands in a sicknote and can score from midfield what other attribute would you like

All these people saying they take 10mil are crazy

 

a player who cost us potential up to 7m after add on, plus might have a sell on clause

 

Has to be 15 million minimum for a player that has without question improved since he joined us 

[shezzas left peg]

If big Bruce isn't taking over whilst February?

Dosent the loan window last a couple of weeks into February??? 

Thus if we're trying to avoid an FFP embargo allowing Bruce to spend in the summer the most plausible way is sell off what assets we can off setting the wage bill costs and hopefully putting us OK with FFP, but also allowing us to get loans in to compensate the loss of players as we would have freed cash up for wages due to the outgoing players.

Can you say you honestly know what the financial position is ? I don't. 

In this case I dont think he'll be sold. He's scored some great goals, has a good engine and attitude. Those attributes helped him standout in a very ordinary side last term and I don't see this 15m tag that others do. 

 

Dc has already said we have an issue with FFP. Why have we only bought one player for a pittance in the last two windows? Just looking at the numbers its not hard to see we have a problem.
