Are players' values depreciated over length of contract?

I thought players were valued on the basis of their contract rather than a theoretical market value. ( For the balance sheet)?

Looks a thin batting line up.

What will be interesting is how League treat Derby and Wednesday with their obvious attempts to manipulate FFP and football finance rules. Let them off and it'll be open season on FFP manipulation.

Hard to see how it works with the clubs that yoyo in and out the PL. Parachute payments etc. FFP hasn't worked when you see the debt levels and wage:income ratios.

Would imagine the other possibility would be Wasps bond holders looking for legal redress (particularly with the current price) as the information attached to the bond sale wouldn't be correct.

Universities in a competitive "market" environment - entering all sorts of partnerships (inc sporting).

Liberty stadium Swansea cost 27m . If they're not having to buy the land then it makes a big difference. Stadium construction design changed a lot since Ricoh was built.

good first session

Could be a wet track to start. Plenty of rain about this morning, dying out probably mid afternoon. Although could be some thunder and lightning about. Very muggy

What's going to make it harder is if they keep the 5 subs rule. Then bigger budget clubs will hold a definite advantage

Cap is coming just a matter of when. There will be a mechanism for dealing with PL relegated clubs eg can't sign new players above a certain wage level.

But highlights the immediate gap we have as they have a 17m wage bill. Brentford a strange example for people to use as Benham has got over 70m in loans club owes him and a wage:ratio of around 135%. Also a wage bill close to 20 million.

Championship wages are a mess. There will be a salary cap - just not in time for next season. Our budget a good reason for getting in players early. Key could be quality of the inevitable loanees. Also said this before there are some very ordinary managers in the Championship -Robbins gives us...

Still a pitch doing things. Turning, odd dodgy bounce. Still feel it's a Windies batting lineup that can fold with early wickets.

Good knock from Sibley. Context is the way it was moving about this morning could easily have seen a collapse and lower order does need protecting. Lot of near misses.

Obsession that a Gilchrist is in Buttler somewhere. Would like to have seen them look at Foakes again in a summer that doesn't seem to be offering easy runs. Thought he had a bit of a raw deal

Sibley batting like a Test opener should. Grind it out.

must be something about him if we've paid a fee (no matter the size of it) with all the free players about

Buttler still getting away with it?
