if we gave him away 3 years into his contract....

...then the remaining ?20m would affect FFP (it was amortised over 5 years, so would show as a loss)

By doing it this way, we run down the contract and save ?18.2m on wages for the next 2 years too - that goes down as a plus.

It's all f**ked up, I know

    - his contract expires in 2 years. It's, effectively, a free transfer (NCFC) - Karnivore, Aug 29, 19:49:15
      - Oh didn't catch the contract.. But still looks suspicious (n/m) (NCFC) - hoolahan, Aug 29, 19:54:02
