Trent sainbury

[klonk]

...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).

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.

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

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.

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.

Come on Rangers get this done.

[Ranger-JimBob]

God this will make me so happy if we can get this done.

Also a rumour down under that Massimo is doing a lot of the leg work to get this one over the line. Apparently they’re good mates and he’s convinced him to overlook other English offers to come here.
