Am I correct in saying that if a player is sold by their club the wages that they are owed for the remainder of the contract are paid for by the selling club?
No. The selling club owes nothing but usually the player won’t agree to a move if they are taking a pay cut. So the selling club may pay out the difference to make sure the deal happens.
If the buying club aren't matching or bettering them, then yes.
only the difference.
 
I wasn't aware that HMcG was cock-blocking the move for monetary reasons.....

Keep reading that he wants to stay to fight for a place and that ETH is playing silly bugger over whether he is prepared to let him go or not.

He's got 2 year's left on 10m a year; assuming WH wouldn't match his wages; the 7m doesn't sound crazy.
No wanted 7m payout (his wages) man u didn't agree so he is staying to fight for his place. Man U wouldn't pay it because it's not the norm (hence using it as an example). Only when the selling club is desperate and the player won't budge it happens.

It's the exception rather than the rule
 
So if in three years these Chelsea signings aren’t playing or out of favour are Chelsea on the hook for the remainder of these contracts. That’s a potential massive loss
Depends how successful they are and what they can recoup in sales. It’s a risky game but as FFP is worthless I can’t see what real consequence there is.

The only suitable ending is for this club to go bust. But that would probably be stopped somehow as well.
 
Lewis Hall and Livramento is unreal business for Newcastle this summer. Very frustrating how sensible their transfer work has been.
 
Leeds owners had no money (they went bust pre ffp). Chelsea are playing hoping ffp won't be a thing, possibly ESL or enough PL owners vote against it.

In the short-term I reckon their slush-funders are happy to pay any impending FFP fine.

It was inevitable that someone would opt to stick two fingers up at it eventually......... Though it might be Newcastle, but no-one can be too suprised that it's dirty Chavs.

In the short term long contracts and Saudi purchases remove ffp.

Just read today that amortisarion over 5 years is a uefa rule change not PL. So for PL OK, when back in europe next year wonder how it effects them

That's supposing they start to reign it in though.... I suspect they won't.

That the UEFA & EPL opt to have two diff. sets of rules is a total recipe for a clusterfuck.

They always had different rules to some extent . Spain has a whole different set of rules compared to ueffa, I'm pretty sure France too.

Quick Google
FFP also keeps an eye on a club's losses. Currently, UEFA permits clubs to lose €60m over a three-year period while the Premier League has a much higher threshold at £105m. However, it is important to note owners must provide £90m of cash injections to cover that cost.
 
I think it's fair to say that Livramento hasn't passed beyond 'gamble' status, yet given his lack of football since such a serious injury. 40m is no joke..........

re: Hall -

yeah, 40m was a decent chunk for him alright, but acl repair is a long way from what it was years ago. Another 2/3 months and he should be back to something approaching his top physical level. Still only 20yo, guy should become a serious player

That isn’t necessarily the case.
A transfer fee is basically a payment to the selling club to not contest a new contract between the player and the buying club.
A player would not normally accept a transfer for lower wages but he might (for any number of non-financial reasons). The selling club is not under any contractual obligation to pay the difference between the value of the old contract and the new contract if the former is higher. Of course, it may provide a financial inducement to a player to accept a transfer.

I doubt that Harry Wink’s Leicester City contract is as valuable on a weekly basis as it was with Tottenham. The value of the contract hasn’t been disclosed by it was for 3 years and so extends his guaranteed money time-wise — in itself a reason to accept a transfer (along with probably greater playing time) . We don’t know if Tottenham paid Winks to get him to accept the transfer.

Don't think it's a flat yes, more of a maybe.

It's probably pretty common, but in cases where a player wants a move, and the selling club isn't willing to subsidise, the player can opt for a pay cut.

I'm sure it's almost a standard that if the selling club is desperate to shift some wages they will happily continue to pay a fraction to get rid of the player though, call it Barca-ing.
