FFP is primarily only concerned with the accounting aspect - not the cash flow aspect. But, the cash flow aspect can be just as restricting. And, that is what I think is hindering Spurs, and also what makes it difficult to pull off a transfer where the entire fee is expected up front.

Paying a buyout clause apparently also means the whole fee must be accounted for the same fiscal year, and not being amortized over the length of the contract. So the whole «FFS just pay the bloody clause» would/could both represent a cash flow problem and be difficult from an accounting perspective. There is a reason litteraly no one pays the buyout clauses (except PSG with Neymar and such extreme examples)

This is bad news..........So I can't use Toulouse Lautrec, Willow, Short-Round, R2D2, Rumpelstilskin, Danny Dinklage, Scrooge McDuck, The Dalai Levy or Shortshanks any more?

Fucks sake ;)
If you're OK with losing the winner/funny ratings from johnweldon and thelad then I'm sure youll survive.

I'm sure you understand where I'm actually coming from though.

Yeah I do but at the same time, the child in me wants to carry on. Apologies for any annoyance caused though :D

I have to say I'm quite taken by the fact that Johnweldon is his surname and that his full name is John Johnweldon. Who knew?

Someone save me reading 40 pages, are we currently on, or off?

Fuck knows. It’s the Spurs Hokey Cokey though, so I think I’m immune to it now. Just roll with it.

You bring negotiators in
Take negotiators out
In, out, in, out, shake it all about
You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn around,
That’s what it’s all about.

I have 0 confidence in this now. I thought this would've been resolved by now, doesn't look likely to be resolved any time soon.
