Sales are booked straight away on the accounts.
Purchases are amortized over length of contract.
So let's hypothetically say we've bought Pervis £12m/Manzambi £50m & Gomes £35m and they're all on 5 year contracts?
That will register as:
Pervis £2.5m
Manzambi £10m
Gomes £7m
Add there wages too, so add say another £15m (combined)
That means Villa's outlay this window is roughly £35m we're comfortable and could probably spend another £100m comfortably in the same way.Am I correct in saying this Ed?
{Ed001's Note - you are correct in that purchases can be amortised over a period, but it is not the length of contract any more, just up to 5 years, even if the player has a 20 year contract. They did that as Chelsea were handing out 8 year contracts to spread the costs of buying out.}

Cheers for clarifying Ed
We are now in good stead with PSR/SCR.
Let the beast loose!
