    Okay, I’ve read the Stoke stuff again!

    Individual players, no longer part of the first team (Afobe?) impaired by £12m.  Rest of the squad left impaired at 70-85%, is £18m….therefore £30m player impairment total due to covid.  Have I got that right?

    I see the logic in this, if not the numbers themselves.

    Playing Devil’s advocate…has the transfer market “collapsed” or just for transfer NOT to Premier League?  If you’ve got a player good enough to go to the PL might you still get a very high fee (in relation to the rest of the market)?  Think there are some debates to be had here.

    If RG’s £30m of lost fees is indeed resolved by adjusting the amortisation down for each player, then it’s pretty similar to Stoke’s method.  I do think it has to be a proper accounting process / method, even if you then put something different in the P&S return.

    If we “impaired” amortisation (wrong terminology no doubt, I’m not an accountant!) by 75%, wed cut this season’s amortisation from £6.7m to £1.7m and next season’s £6.6m to £1.65m, a saving of circa £10m.

    Add in revues lost from football and commercial then you have a club with no P&S issues at all.

    But what do you do if the market picks up?  Do you have to re-state values?  Just trying to think of any flaws?

    What I don't get is the fact that Stokes Accounts are to May 2020 YES MAY 2020 just a couple of months into the inpact of Covid , and a VERY high value of amortisation BUT WHY ? at May 2020 , that is not a true and fair assesment at that point in time.

    Future period to May 2021 yes the CV-19 impact would certainly be severe , but surely it is against Accounting Standards to make provision for FUTURE Losses in a previous year submitted P&L  ?

    Nige freely admits that the Championship is the priority and I’m expecting a very different line up today. Bell has been recalled and Towler might well start after his tough experience against Milwall. Wells may well also start.

    I don’t think many, if any of us see the FA cup as important as it once was once and I’m not particularly bothered which way it goes.

    Sadly Cup-Tied, already played for Grimsby in the Competition

    Well………I’m very surprised but delighted that my posting ‘restrictions’ have been lifted much sooner than I was expecting.

    How is that 'challenge' by Marlon not a penalty??

    Secondly, in the Chelsea game, how is Mane still on the pitch after that elbow?

    Thirdly, why wasn't Towler shown a red today? Looked clean through to me. Good for us but debatable just the same.

    I used to understand the game. :(

    My friend , you do understand the game SADLY Ref's dont
