PSR is only an issue when you are the wrong side of the limit. And you have to go some to get there. We were appallingly run and almost managed to blag our way back to compliance by blaming Iceland.
If we bought a £50m striker on a 5 year contract tomorrow, less than £5million (plus salary) hits the 24/25 accounts. Sell Dixon in June and make £5m profit covers that. If we sold JB in June we could make £50m+ profit towards PSR.
Once you have headroom, it’s not hard to keep it unless you buy a half a dozen terrible, injury prone players on long contracts, bad ages and massive salaries, and build a stadium using terrible high cost loans. Hopefully those days are gone. But we now have one fit, not very good striker. In the Premier League. In 16th place.
Not having PSR as an excuse. It’s either cash availability, player availability, our attractiveness to good quality players and KT and Moyes willingness to punt that will determine incomings. A win this weekend will help our attractiveness, removing another excuse. Player availability will be the issue.
