I don't know wheter it makes any difference in PSR and if it does it's significant difference or not. 

I think the clubs strategy was playing hard ball on him by letting him train alone, we were expecting he will get bored and accept a move to another team and take the wage cut as no English team was ever going to pay him even 30% of his current salary.

Perhaps the club finally accepted he will not agree to move anywhere and wanted to put end to this story, not let it circulate for 18 more months. (bad publicity, pressure from Fifpro etc)

I am sure he didn't accept one penny less than he was entitled in his contract. 

It should make a big difference because instead of losing a steady amount of money owning him per year, we're swallowing the entire loss on him early all in one go. Doesn't make any sense unless he's agreed to something.

Also, presumably he can discount future earnings from his new club from what he expects from us, because it will net out the same for him. That would include some kind of signing on fee.

Raheem Sterling has left the club after his contract was mutually terminated 

Mutually terminated should mine one thing, both agreed to terminate. No benefit for Chelsea to payout the contract, by Chelsea holding it til now forced him to terminate to play. Time was against him (so was the big contract)!

£50m for Strand Larsen to Palace. Fucking hell! I couldn’t tell you one thing he’s ever done and he’s going for £50m!

They can now sell Mateta

He took a discounted pay-out, per BBC:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cm2yp21zjzqo

Raheem Sterling has left Chelsea by mutual consent after reaching an agreement to end his contract early.

The 31-year-old had 18 months remaining on his £325,000‑a‑week deal.

Sterling leaves after three-and-a-half seasons at Stamford Bridge following his move from Manchester City for £47.5m in 2022.

Sterling will receive a payout from Chelsea, while the club will save money as the settlement will be less than the figure of over £20m he would have been paid had he stayed for the remaining year and a half of his contract.

He has not scored a goal from open play this season in the league and they are getting relegated. Palace are obviously desperate but they should be able to negotiate that fee down.

Nah, that’s literally what they’ve agreed to pay!

Matt Law saying Chelsea will try again this weekend to sign Jacquet immediately and the player's preference is to move to Chelsea now. 

[Special Juan 28,525]

We need him now, none of this for summer shite

[Pizy 19,134]

Seems the only way Rennes will agree to sell him now is if a club pays them £60m or wherever it was to eclipse the Doku sale. That’s like £20m more than what Fabrizio reported that we wanted to pay. 

Guess we’ll find out within the next couple of days how badly we want him and how highly the directors rate him. Because if they pass now and wait until the summer he’ll have who knows how many suitors pushing.

I’m still skeptical about him and puzzled that we brought Anselmino back.

Anselmino may go on loan to Rennes....

 

Makes sense now

That would be pretty fucked up. Uproot Anselmino from Germany midseason where he was happy and then dropping him in yet another country as a makeweight. Just treating human beings as chess pieces moving around a board. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,891]

The numbers for Raheem leaving. He had an Amortized transfer fee of £9.5M then whatever his buyout was, rumours are £20M. That is £29.5m PSR hit, but it is offset by what the club would have paid him in total wages on his contract. That is reported to be £25.4M.

If the rumoured buyout is correct that is a £4.1M PSR hit, but then the lower total wage for the club is factored in and it could be close to a break even for this year and really great for next year’s PSR total. I think PSR is averaged over 5 years. So it does become a net positive starting next year, and not much of a hit this year, if at all. 
 

I had ChatGPT search for all the money figures and PSR accounting. Took about four searches for the money involved and the accounting rules. All this is as accurate as the sources ChatGPT used.

Wonder what the wonderful next brief will be from Romano or Law

Chelsea aren't panicking and see JJ as project for the summer

Law is nowhere remotely as bad as the new-style, Fichajes-cock-gobbling, rumour/lie-peddling git that Romano has morphed into over the past year or so.

I guarantee someone is paying Romano big money to push the Fichajes and other ultra-dodgy grifter sites' bullshit.

He has destroyed his reputation with hardcore transfer peeps like me and many of you on here.

I said the other day he is what he is now because he is being heavily paid by the likes of Heineken, Paramount, Disney and all that jazz

You can't fault the bloke because what comes with this is heaps of cash. Romano is a brand like the people who are paying him
