tmesiswinchester_royal The transfer fees shouldn't make too much of an impact as this will just sit on the balance sheet and be amortised over the life of the contact.
E.G. we sign Darlow for £5m on a 5 year contract, we'll be incurring a 'cost' for accounting purposes of only £1m (£5m over 5 years) per year.
It's the wages that are a killer. For any decent player you're looking at £30k a week min. And that's before bonuses, signing on fees, agent fees etc. So let's say that averages out at £40k a week. You're then looking at an annual cost of £2.1m for just one player.
It's crazy money. And just one of these signings could easily push us over the edge of FFP regs.
Surely we aren't signing players on £30k a week in the championship.
If you're getting a player who's worth over £5m you probably will be.
Apparently Assombalonga is on 60k a week over at Boro...
