Trent sainbury

Back on topic! When will this signing be made official.

Not sure thatsright klonk. How a fee is paid I guess is determined by the selling club. They might want dough up front or shorter period. Can’t assume it’s spread

sorry.... didn't explain properly.

how the money is paid and how the money goes through the accounts is different.

regardless of how the cash is paid - all up-front, in steady installments etc - the cost of the transfer is charged to the accounts equally over the period of the contract. it's the application of an accounting mechanism to stop companies making themselves seem more attractive than they possibly actually are.

I'd have thought the selling club determine when the fee is paid, but it's up to us how much we write off the purchase price each year.

Sainsbury is from Perth where so many Brits settled, especially the Scots. He probably has dual nationality hence the British passport, Im guessing. Certaintly hasnt had any issues playing in europe.

...this thread seems to be going way off its original topic.

- we could afford to buy a player for £1m, because the purchase cost is spread across the contract length (so if it's a 4-year contract, we expense £250k per year).

- if we're close to the limit for ffp, then a major cause of this will be the £5m interest charge on ruben's loans that could be reduced to £0 if ruben wanted that to happen.

also... i think the fee being asked is actually $1m AUD - roughly £565k. that said... i think sainsbury might be after higher wages than we pay nowadays.

plus... i still don't see any of these images of sainsbury's passport on his actual instagram account - still think they're dodgy (although the most recent picture does at least show a blue australian passport, rather than a burgundy british one).

Corbray. No we cannot change the past and we are looking to change the approach but are most likely 5 years at least behind Brentford based on the FFP situation and our inability to spend any money on the squad.

We have been and will continue to be run this way due to the total mis management of the first 2.5 years of the Fernandes era. Brentford have a very good model on how to run a small sized championship club and bringing in McClaren to coach the youngsters with potential shows we are looking to do the same. It is what it is and will not be changing anytime soon.

we can't change the past but i love our new business model, we have some proper quality behind the scenes and imo have the potential to go further than brentford. still, it does really pain me to admit that brentford are better than us (for now!) but credit to them for doing as well as they've done. they have a brilliant business model and transfer policy, i'd love us to do what brentford do but better and more forward thinking. we defo have the right people in place now and are bringing in the right players along with developing what we have.

i reckon in 2-3 years we will be challenging for promotion.

Fulham were hit by FFP they got transfer embargo couple years back I’m sure

brentford operate very smartly buy low and sell high and bring on loads of kids from academy. Think that’s what we’re trying to move towards. Brentford have some great scouts or are really lucky as they rarely get a signing wrong

[Ginger Ninja]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. All of you. Suck your mums. I’m ITK . There’s nothing you can do about it. NOTHING. Read it and weep fellas. JN

Erm...
Not really panning out is it bro?

[Jeffqpr]

Might as well just scrap these forum rumours then going by optimistic!

[corbray]

What I said earlier was probably quite pessimistic. If I am to live up to my name, FFP is a myth, Trent Sainsbury is set to join us by the end of the day, as is Lionel Messi. This will be our invincible season and we'll be Champions League winners within 3 years!

get in!!! i take it you got your itk info from the RH jamesnutt?

[norfolk ranger]

So that's it then, we are just going to exist on free transfers and out of contract signings for the foreseeable future.

looks that way hits....a grim future ahead.
