Player Valuation: £100m
Not quite. How much, if any of a sale goes to the P&L depends on what the book value of the player sold is at that point.
Say Kean has a book value at the moment of £16m and we get £30m then the £14m goes to profit. If we sold him for £10m we’d show a £6m loss.
Probably what you meant, but your wording was a bit misleading.
If you want to be pedantic, the whole fee goes onto the books and then the difference of sale price and book value is reflected on the P/L
But my point was really about us getting the £14mil you used. We could (in theory) use that for £70mil worth of players on 5 year deals. We'd still need to settle the £56mil of course but on the books it would be £14mil a season.
