And neither did Otamendi's.

think the club purposely held back some stuff in the accounts mate? Maybe for the funds to show better in the accounts for a bigger spend this summer?

Realistically, how much money could City spend this summer without FFP issues down the line?

 

[ChicagoBlue]

We selling Sane again are we?

Why do people keep saying Sane...we sold him last summer and that money was already gone after getting Dias, Ake, Torres etc.

Because the money wasn’t booked last summer, due to COVID pushing the season past the usual end of season books. Some other CL money wasn’t booked either, it seems.

I’m going to go off what City have said…much as I trust the Certified Accounting firm of Dewey, Cheetham & Howe on here.

So:

sane £49m
Otamendi @ £15m
Angelino @ £18m
Jack Harrison @ £10m
Braaf @ £9m
Porro @ £8m

at least £110m ish already in sales to go through the books at much better profits for the books? Am sure lots of loan players will move on for 2-3m each as well so certainly wiggle room in the funds and accounting.

That brings our losses from last season into line with other teams, as we were about £100M DEEPER in the red than them.

true but the champions league revenues were also about £80m as well to go into the figures I believe?

And those losses are now further down the line in FFP terms than every other PL club.

Plus some big salaries off the books with Leroy, Nico, Sergio and probably Ferna. Factor in the potential write off of the Sancho clause and that would cover even the worst case figures being talked about for Haaland.

yep! Personally think some creative accounting has been done all aimed towards this summer

Not a scooby.
