Yeah you’re right. I thought I’d saw Kieran Maguire from Price of Football say otherwise, but he clarified they can do that for regular accounting and tax purposes, but not PSR.I don’t think you’ve understood that passage correctly. I believe what that means is that if you initially signed a player on a 3 year contract and then extended his contract in Year 2 by a further 2 years, the initial fee could then be spread out over 5 years from the original purchase date. It doesn’t allow clubs to perpetually kick the can down the road or repeatedly restart the amortisation
All the more reason clubs should be required to publish their PSR numbers alongside their regular accounts.
