Same, his job is what I was shaking my head at. Laypeople are one thing and I've probably 10k posts explaining it to them on here which I'm more than happy to do, but anyone in a finance role of any description should make sure they understand something before giving an opinion.His job, as it doesn’t show on my phone!

Not only do you not know the fine print, I'm not at all sure you understand the broad brush strokes. As a financial analyst you obviously understand the difference between debt & equity. But neither have any relevance to FFP, at least not directly. We can borrow, or Sheik Mansour can inject, as much as he wants. But FFP only looks at income and expenditure. So we could have a billion pounds in the bank but we can only spend that in line with our revenue.Can only think it's being done to aid in some sort of ''creative" bookeeping to help us stay in line with FFP. I think that's part of the issue with us haggling so hard over prices this window too. Perhaps last windows spending plus Laporte in the summer has us a little stretched over this 3 year period (in FFP terms, the sheikh is obviously still loaded).
I don't know all the FFP fine print, just the broad brush strokes but I wouldn't be surprised if high grade secured debt is treated differently to direct cash injections from the owner. We know United and Barca are drowning in debt yet due to their revenue they are still able to spend exorbitant amounts.
My guess would be that’s he not really a financial analyst....Same, his job is what I was shaking my head at.
