There are two different things at play here. Google EPPP (Elite Player Performance Plan) and FIFA Solidarity Payments. The FIFA scheme only operates for international transfers (eg Coventry > Sporting), but does not apply to domestic transfers (Coventry > Sheffield United). for domestic...

That's the difference between the FIFA system and the EPPP in the prem. Fifa understand that any team that played a part in a players early development is entitled to some of the benefit of their success. You could very much argue that players that cut their teeth in the lower leagues in...

Any outstanding money from the original €24 transfer has to be paid up in full. We receive our additional 10% as and when Sporting receive it, unless we negotiate otherwise... So if for example the initial installment to Sporting was €30m then we wouldn't get much to begin with... but we could...

Where did the money to buy Grimes come from then?! Doug will spend what he thinks he can spend within the budget framework that we are working with. You can never earmark a sell on clause for a player that in theory might never be sold... no matter how probable that it appears to be. That...

Fifa solidarity fee is a flat 5% of the transfer fee paid in proportion to his time at his previous clubs up to the age of 23. Approximately: Club Solidary contribution Brighton & Hove Albion €360k FC St. Pauli €120k IF Brommapojkarna €480k IFK Aspudden-Tellus €240k The additional...

That is the FIFA solidarity payments that the buying club is obligated to distribute to any clubs involved in his development up to the age of 23. Not just Brighton, but his former clubs. This has nothing to do with whatever sell-on clause Brighton negotiated with us as part of his transfer...

You realise we failed to beat Derby, Hull, Plymouth and Luton as 4 of our last 5 away games, losing 3 of them. Granted our home form has been mint, but I really do think it would be advisable to carry a lead into the away leg... Knock-out football is a different beast. You don't have to try...

If Leeds somehow manage to mess up the playoffs, we should at the very least have a Category L ticket at £47.

Whilst not particularly helpful, I do know that from next season all the opening/closing/public holiday games are available to stream from Sky. However this season UK people can still only buy the audio pass. If you use a VPN you will be able to pay to stream it...

Sounds like his AL entitlement was 28 days then ;)

In theory every day of work (or paid leave) is worth 1/260th of the yearly annual leave entitlement. If he worked 13 full days then he's technically entitled to 5% of the annual leave entitlement (1 day if that entitlement was 20 days for example). Probably easier to chalk this one up to...

If his "defence" to all this was "it's all fabricated" then that would absolutely have come out by now. At no point has he (or anyone else) claimed that these photos or audio clips were not legitimate. Stop defending the indefensible...

Family zone pricing is spot on. Possibly even too cheap... Matchday JSB prices are a disgrace. If you remove the £50 JSB from the price of the £125 season ticket, then the 23 games for £75 works out at £3.25 a game. Paying £15 a game you would pass the break even point at 5 games...

Impossible to police. You would just scan the card regardless and then scan your own straight after...

...and then to clear the debt cost another 14m... so the total marketable value of the asset was in the region of 20m unencumbered...

Add up all the costs of not buying the stadium (lost revenues, the rent we paid to blues, the rent we paid to wasps, the rent we are paying to FG... would it have been much different in the long run. Especially when you consider that ACL were prepared to offer reduced terms before we...

... and could have bought back half the 1.2m rent by buying back the Higgs shares.

Again I disagree. The largest portion of the rent deal was the pitch and it's maintenance. Again I am saying the overall rent will be down, but the amount it will cost us will of course be much higher when you factor in the pitch separately. We'll find out in a couple of years...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the rent will be less, because we are now responsible for the most expensive part - the pitch. To be clear, I am not saying that I think the deal will be better for the club financially, just a lower amount...
