whats a blues signing? aroune kone? i know bolaise sauce has flaws but hes a massive upgrade over mcgeady, kone and lennon minor upgrades might be necessary over drastic alterations

I don't dislike Bolasie, but I'd actually have Lennon over him. In what way is he a major upgrade over Lennon?

Oh FFS really? Bolasie???

We are poo, chaps.

Bolasie is awful,cannot believe the clamour for him on here.

27 goals in 280 League games says it all for an attacking player.

And everyone here said Mane was overrated.

Long, long season ahead if this is the standard of player we're bidding stupid money for.

Grim.

We are struggling because we won't pay the going rate but we want 50 for stones and 75 for lukaku and then offer 18 for bolasie and 10 million for Williams

Lol

What games have you been watching Bolasie in to conclude he is crap?

i feel he offers more creativity and key moments of cleverness while lennon does plays the speedy grifter angle

Damo, not going to get too involved in this (not least because the supporting cast is a tad unfair), but...

Or anything where there is regulation to be in compliance with. All accounting is done within legal and regulatory frameworks, and they vary depending on the industry. Sports may have different rules to apply, but they are not unique in having a framework to operate in.

I sort of get where you are coming from with this, but the lawyers etc are only going to get involved using the figure accountants have generated for them. And again this is not unique to sports law, in any walk of business life its the lawyers who get involved when there is quibbling to be done.

I run computer systems. I still understand that it doesn't matter what sphere you are in, accounting is still applying the rules of that industry to arrive at a fiscal position. And in this case the rule is that you are allowed to count player trading gain when calculating revenues. Exchanging a cash asset for a fixed asset isn't revenue altering one way or the other. Depreciating those assets is a different scenario of course.

Last response in this thread as its off topic. Exchanging an asset for cash is revenue altering from an STTC perspective as its a non-broadcast related review.

We're not going to agree as you're coming at it from a corporate/accounting perspective and I'm from a sports administration legal perspective.

We aren't going to agree as we use different definitions.
