Financial Fair play

What’s our expected budget this season?
Click to expand...
SCR == 70%

UEFA's Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) rules mandate that clubs playing in the Europa League must limit their on-pitch spending—which includes player wages, transfer fees, and agent commissions—to 70% of their total football-related revenue. [1, 2]

This 70% cap forces European participants into tighter financial constraints compared to clubs playing strictly domestically, who are capped at 85%
 

I’m not sure anyone really knows, so I’ve stopped thinking about it and will give my trust to those in charge - they’ve earned it.

Possibly something similar to last season I would think.
Rough estimates would be a turnover approaching £250M.
Allowed to spend 70% of that, so £185M.
Salaries maybe £80M.
Running costs £20M.
Ongoing annual amortization £40M
Would leave us with plenty of room to match last seasons sales without needing to sell.

Disclaimer: The numbers are likely to be complete bollocks.

I think this is actually quite likely to be close to the mark. Not sure if we need to declare the running costs for FFP/SCR but otherwise think does mean we should have about 60m for extra fees and wages next year if we want to spend it. Can be a bit more if we sell the like of Adingra etc.

Premier League clubs earn anywhere between £110 million and £180 million per season. These payouts—often finalized and audited by July following the campaign's conclusion—consist of an equal share of broadcast and commercial revenues, UK facility fees (based on how often a club's matches are televised), and merit payments (based on final league position).

These annual earnings are distributed across four main categories:

  • Equal Share: Every club receives a standard, equal cut from both domestic (£29.8M - £31.9M) and international (£56.6M - £59.2M) broadcasting deals.
  • Central Commercial Revenue: An equal flat distribution of about £7.9M - £11.5M for all 20 clubs.
  • Facility Fees:
    Additional individual broadcast payments based on the number of times a club is shown on live television in the UK.
    • Merit Payments: Scaled prize money based strictly on finishing position. Each place is typically worth roughly £2.6M - £2.7M.

Payout totals are heavily influenced by TV appearances and final league position. For example, champions and top-tier clubs often finish the season taking home upwards of £170 million when merit bonuses and facility fees are factored in, while teams finishing at the bottom of the table will collect approximately £110 million.

So thats from tv alone. We then our commercial business and ticket sales from it with will be a drop compared to that like
 
That being said, with how transfer feels amortization works, we could sign five players for a total on 100m players on five year contracts and the actual additional transfer fee spending we'd have to declare for next year would only be 20m.

We'd also have to factor in an increase of wages ofc which for five players at 20m each could be another 20m per year (all very hypothetical and also likely to be rubbish ofc!)

I doubt the club will spend as much as the advice without sales mind as it's the sort of unsustainable trap the Mags fell into a few years ago where you effectively spend more in the short term by using up more of your budget for future seasons.

It sort of makes it hard to say we have a specific budget for transfer fees but I'd wager it will be a fair bit less than 100m without sales.

Suppose it depends if you think £10 million and if they don't sort it out in the next few years they can't register any new players for uefa comps and further fines up to 20 million is a slap on the wrist I suppose.

Won't be as much as people want/hope imo. But will be all about 3 or 4 young players with big potential.

I think that the forthcoming transfer window will be more about immediate 'realisation' than future 'potential', with a small number of players being brought in to enhance and supplement the existing squad and those players will need to be ready to be used immediately.

Retaining the current members of the squad will be much more important than the excitement of new signings, particularly with the requirement to include four academy products and an additional four home-grown players within a squad of 25 players being an issue.
