They probably count in different accounting periods or some other numbers sorcery.selling someone to meet FFP and then immediately unmert it again the following day? What am I missing here?

Nope I think this is extremely unlikely to happen until the summer or even at all.Anyone else feel like we are waiting out the Gallagher deal to the last minute to make Chelsea sweat...or is that just hopeful thinking?
If I understand the explanations from other SCers, the pure profit of the sale hits instantly, whilst the cost of the player purchase is spread over the length of the contract.They probably count in different accounting periods or some other numbers sorcery.
That was the second bid, I heard our opening offer was £3m for Onomah and they include Grealish as a sweetener.According to the Athletic, our opening gambit in that negotiation was £3m plus Josh Onomah. Oh how differently things might have worked out…
Problem is none of them will show any profit as all on long contracts and they haven’t been written down very much , that’s why I think they will have to sell himIf as someone on here said, Chelsea need to make £100 mil in sales by July they'll need to sell more than one player.
If Chelsea were smart, they could swap Gallagher for PEH and make a big dent in their PSR deficit.Gallagher in and PEH out would solve a lot of our squad problems...!
Doing that for less than £15m net would be a result.
Would be an ideal scenario, but unfortunately it's not going to happen IMO.Gallagher in and PEH out would solve a lot of our squad problems...!

Yes they will have to sell him so if they do it now they have fewer deals to do later.Problem is none of them will show any profit as all on long contracts and they haven’t been written down very much , that’s why I think they will have to sell him
Having taken Utd and the Goons for a ride with the Mount and Havertz deals they probably think someone will pay the £50m+, can't see any club going over £40m tbh.Taking everyone's opinion out of it, it just doesn't add up to me that Chelsea seems to need AND want to sell him, but have everything working against getting any great amount of value besides the HG English factor. If he doesn't go in 3 days, he has 12 months left on his deal yet they don't want to offer him a new one?
Just seems so odd all around that they didn't take the west ham bid either that was solid mon
Its all about FFP, they're in the shit and unlike players they've bought and could sell, Gallagher being from the academy would be pure profit with whatever money they get.Taking everyone's opinion out of it, it just doesn't add up to me that Chelsea seems to need AND want to sell him, but have everything working against getting any great amount of value besides the HG English factor.

For example, they bought Nkunku for around £52m say they sold him for £70m tomorrow, that would only be £18m profit in regards to FFP. If they sell Gallagher for £40m thats pure £40m profit in FFP terms as he came through their academy and cost them nothing.
Thats why you see players like Palmer being sold by City, very same reasons.
