I remember reading that the amortisation rules were being changed to stop Chelsea and others going “against the spirit of the game”. Why then, have they been able to sign players in the past week on 7 year contracts (if the media reports can be believed).I think Palmer signed after the change in amortisation rules, so his 40m fee was amortised over 5 years at 8m per year. Now he has signed an extended contract the remaining 32m can be amortised over the next 5 years so 6.4m a year.
