I think the only people with a current amortisation of £0 should be players who have come through the academy.
Players such as Ferna and zinchenko would still have some amortisation.

If they entered the last year of their contract wouldn't the final amortisation go on the books for that season so if the player then negotiated an extension there'd be no further fee to be paid?

Can't believe you beat Pools to Zinny for £1.80. We'll give you a quid for him since he's not as young as he used to be.

We've always been told by their fans and some in the media that them and Liverpool made their money "organically" by being successful.

Yet those same people seem incapable of following their own logic that we've made money since the takeover by being successful.

Exactly, I had a conversation with a reasonable rag over this, talked how the money train PL has been going now for 30yrs and that we have been the most successful club for a third of it, certainly more than Liverpool and Arsenal. Certainly took him back and didn't want to believe it :)
 
Who were the auditors? I need to quote a company when I'm arguing the toss with thicko's who think multi-million pound international companies can just "cook the books"

Sheikh Moonsour;)

No relation to city as far as I can see. Location is Abu Dhabi but that’s probably just a coincidence ;)

Explained: True impact of Man City overtaking Man United in revenue

Manchester City overtaking Manchester United in revenue last season doesn't mean much in isolation but does point towards a bigger trend

'If they are getting more and more sponsors from around the world, do City need to be striking deals with Abu Dhabi companies?

"Yes, because they've done nothing wrong!" said Maguire.

"Manchester United did a deal with Saudi Arabia, their present airline partner is [Russian company] Aeroflot, so if United have worldwide commercial partners there is no reason why City shouldn't do that either.'

Sportwashing/human rights/murderous/authoritarian regimes anyone? :-)

I find it hard to understand how united are earning the same or less than us, yet they're able to at least match our transfer spending whilst they also have a higher wage bill and service their debt and pay out divis to their owners and all other shareholders.

Yep, If anyone's financials are dodgy then it ain't ours. They're not registered in the Cayman Islands for no reason.

As for United fans and other opposition fans losing their shit about us making a measly £2.4 million profit, fuck 'em. It wasn't that long ago that they slagged us off for making big losses. You can bet if United were 22 points clear of us rather than the other way round then they wouldn't even be talking about it. As Khaldoon said, they're using City as a diversionary tactic for the failings at their own club. I hope this time next season the gap is 44 points. Cunts!

And don't forget, the source of the Glazer wealth is the oil company that they sold some years ago. Rags are full of dirty oil money!

Don’t forget 100 million Jack to complete your bingo fantasy.
 
People also forget we have partnership deals with companies around the world Cisco (USA), Nissan (France - via Renault), JNC (China), Puma (German) etc not just from the middle east.

I'm not saying the human rights in China or USA are particularly great, but apparently that isn't sports washing because, actually I'm not sure why it isn't maybe the usually red allied clickbaiters could tell me.

If they ended their contract & left on a free, then yes. If they signed a new deal, then what's left of the amortised transfer fee gets split again along the length of the new contract.

E.g. £100m over 5 years -- £20m/year in the accounts
In the last year of the contract (£20m left), player signs a new 5 year deal, that £20m then goes in the accounts as £4m/year for the next 5 years. And so on....
 
Any clue on when we can expect any sort of significant update on this PL investigation & more importantly, if we can finally put it to bed?.

Quite a while yet. They are only up to checking the legality of the contract we gave Bert Trautmann after WW2. They think they will strike gold when they examine Billy Merediths contract. They are certainly thorough these people.

Even worse, City signed Roy Paul after he went off the Bogotá to sign for Millionarios. Columbia were not affiliated to FIFA at the time so no fee would have been payable to Swansea. In the event Paul returned home after failing to settle (an ultimatum from his wife?) and signed for City.

There must be something in that story.

Wouldn’t that imply we had some history? Shirley not?
