2021/22 Richarlison

I just want it finished now, get it done and move on.
A sad and poor end to the Moshiri era and obviously those who said we had to sell for FFP reasons were right.

The only chink of light in this saga is that we may now be able to strenghten the squad and this time I can only hope the money isn't squandered.

I am just very surprised that the only interested party was Spurs.

If we had any nous we would make sure and get a resale percentage, because I still expect to move on to a bigger club than Spurs.

I can't see that happening. IMO, he will struggle for game time and spurs fans will hate him "sulking".

What I'm certain of though, is that the media won't mention him rolling around the floor "diving" anymore.

Nah it's £57m up front (according to Leeds, like - woke up to that email this morning after a request sent a day ago, fgs), and then performance-related add ons between £60m and £65m - Fab reported the latter fees.

Either way it's in the same ball park but we should be getting more than £50m for Richarlison initially.

What we don't know is if that £50m is up front, which, if it is, very much alleviates our concerns.

It could be that we've gone to get £50m, and settled for the rest in add ons, because Spurs are happy to pay us either all of it or the majority of it right now, giving us a huge influx of cash for the accounts.

I don't think it matters if the £50m is paid up front for accounting purposes (although may do for cash flow of course). What matters from an accounting principles perspective, is what amount is guaranteed.

This.
Doesn't matter if we get it all today or in ten years.
We now have a 50m line in the books.

If that's the case, and you can count all revenue in last years accounts, it sort of makes sense to get the maximum top line payment, and sacrifice guaranteed cash to do so.

Yep of course, I meant more as in getting that money in and having it available for transfers etc - no need to spread it over several years or anything.

It was needed. The club are knackered, and that's why the jokers at the top need to go.

NEA over losing the player that stood between us and relegation last year who's a Brazil starter and our most saleable player by some distance.

Ok.

We were always selling him - what does the fee matter?

Past history shows that we'll piss it up the wall anyway - they could have handed us £100m and it would have been fruitless with the current setup of the club

Whatever amount is guaranteed can generally be recognised on the date of sale.

Any contingent amounts, which will be your add ons/performance related clauses etc, can then be recognised later if and when the criteria is met.
