Sale is close - Barnsey

[Grumpy Old Man]

are non-cash assets included? Presumably things like shares, OEICS, property funds etc aren't explicitly precluded.

If think all of the Saracens loopholes (which turned out not to be) have been closed. Basically, apart from the bonuses, if you'll end up paying PAYE on it, it's included.

 

[Rokeroar]

What loopholes do you think could be exploited?

1. As already posted, buying players U21, like Feeney
2. Offering promotion bonuses.

That's just off the top of my head, am sure there'll be more, and well be looking for them.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Well you would like to think so if he was truely involved

Its hardly an incentive In the real world though, who in their right mind would sign a deal based on what ifs?

If you've got a choice between two L1 clubs, and the basic is the same, but one is offering you £100k to get to the second round of the FA Cup, which one would you sign?

Remarkable stuff - if you apply the logic to normal times then we'd all have attendance caps and everyone in F1 would be driving the same car.

Cup wins mate. Someone like Danny Graham let's say his salary is the capped £130k a year but he's hopeful of earning £600k. He gets £470k win bonus if we win one single efl trophy game or win one league or fa Cup game. That's about 6 chances at least to get his bonus, everyone else in the squad who needs to earn more than the cap can gave the same deal but with their own specific bonus sum.

Alternatively his wife gets a job for the club "working from home" for £470,000 a year. Hmrc won't care if their getting all that lovely paye and nic.

Not shite

great. Simple as. You’d have thought even these knackers would have caught on before now.

Then driving skills would take over imagine that

Bonuses relating to progression in cup competitions or promotion aren't included in the cap, for one. Also, nothing to stop you offering massive promotion pay increases.

Does this cap include the commonly paid end of contract loyalty bonus? If so how will that impact the club over the coming couple of years? as I am sure players like Grigg will have a handsome end of contract loyalty bonus, would be awkward if such payments took us over the salary cap.

Very true but aged has beens won't get us up imo. Our policy of signing players who've been promoted before isn't working so time for something new.

Do you think the support would be patient enough to wait for a team full of younguns to get us promoted, assuming they were good enough but it was going to take another say three seasons for them to get us there?

Can we listen to this anywhere? Looks like it was the news 20 mins ago?

Pre-existing contracts are valued at the average of the squad limit, so no worries there. Loyalty bonuses on new contracts would be included.

it would probably make me watch it, but most sports have an edge based on better resources

Well he wouldn’t need to be, whether involved or not.

Doesn’t look like he’s involved today, but Mitchell Is there
