Yeh I think so. So the 'value' of the 'asset' is essentially fixed when you sign them. Say you sign Jon for £4m on a 4 year contract. Jon is worth a total of £4m, which is accounted for at a rate of £1m a year in amortisation. So he is worth £4m in year one, then £3m, then £2m, then £1m. At any point if we sell Jon for less than he is worth at the time of sale, we have to account for the difference as 'impairment'.

We sell him in year 3 for £1m. That is a £1m loss, as he was worth £2m at that point, so £1m goes into the 'impairment' column.

I guess this creates a balancing act between letting a player's contract run down, paying wages and absorbing the amortisation, versus letting him go cheap and instead accounting for the hit as 'impairment'. We did the former with Diedhiou, and the latter with Nagy right? Essentially this is the decision we now have to make around the likes of Palmer and Dasilva (assuming we cannot sell them for more than their book costs). The other option is a loan where we get another club to pay some of these costs.

Is that correct? You know I am no accountant either!

Correct, as such 'Loss On Sale Of An Asset' - The Written Down Net Book Value Said Asset At Point Of Sell (Initial Cost Less YTD Depreciation). Less Proceed Of Sale

Lots of worried voices and concerns, and I share them.

But let's hold off on the doom mongering until we have heard from an expert on the subject, someone beyond reproach who will doubtless have the inside track. I refer of course to the world's most successful IT engineer who spends his days fixing laptops in BS3 and voicing but verifiable fact.

Henbury Gas will be sure to have had someone in his shop who will have told him that SL is skint, the club is available to buy for 2 magic beans and a crunchie and that unless we sell 84 billion pounds worth of players by a week last Tuesday, Wally has an option to buy Ashton Gate for 2 hours rental on one of those e scooters.

All because he has not been paid by Ashton Gate Ltd for his superb I.T. Consulting services for 3 months

Just spotted myself in the away end! How SuperBob never got at least two in that game is still beyond me.

Had me thinking, now the away end is the open end (opposite end) - Honestly coudn't remember that being the case

Hadn't realised but Wael is paying for all the away coaches to go to their away game at Scunthorpe this Saturday, currently sold out 7 coaches

As much as we give them stick this is a very nice gesture especially at this time of the year

That is hell of a lot of Camels  But, yes a very nice gesture

Just seen the weekend highlights on ITV1, any idea why Rovers were playing in their yellow and green away kit? 

Just maybe, they didn't want their visitors to wear their away kit - It didn't work out so well last time

God only knows how we held on to win...............................................

'Wouldn't It Be Nice' if we could do that now ? I asked my Lady 'Lynda' (who lives in Sumahama in Holland) about that game but 'She Still Believes In Me' and City to 'Do It Again' 

Off to the pub now to meet my 'Friends' as it's my turn to 'Get A Round'

No doubt DC’ll get a better reception than their incumbent from the few that can be bothered to turn up. 

Well, I do believe with their (so called) Messiah returning there will be a line of sad 50+ Year Old Fat Bastards lining the front of the Blackthorn with their dicks out awaiting DC practising his best Dog Technique on them

Rovers love going there. They get quite excited. I think it's an opportunity for them to feel "big," to feel like big boys with the safety in numbers of 2k, a chance to puff their chests out and congratulate themselves on their "massive" following. And not get (much) of a kicking/maybe give a few locals a kicking, should numbers be in their favour.

Perhaps being kind you might call it "enthusiasm," something we ran out of years ago, certainly for trips to places like Walsall /the West Midlands. 

PLEASE Stop It, I still have nightmares about Dave Kelly

Matt Stevens the author of the above book will be in the Supporters Club and trust bar relaunching his book. He’ll be located along the walkway from the actual club room. Paul Cheesely will be there between 12 and 1pm to sign copies and Matt his hoping Garry Sweeney will also be there.

No membership to SC&T is required so pop along.

Ah , is he related to GERRY ? 

Interesting the rotation of the keepers 

Does anyone know what platform we can watch todays game on ? It is sadly not listed on FA Player
