The club receiving the fee can put it all in at once though, if you’re Stockport then you’d want that £1.5m on July 1st rather than 30th June.Scoham said:
Not sure when the cut off is, but if today still counts as 24/25 won’t it make more sense to pay fees under the L1 rules?mattinfinland said:

first day of the new financial year for clubs.
nothing will happen today imo
I think for accounts the fee is spread across the length of their contracts anyway, so I’m not convinced it makes much of a difference.Not sure how it works though, as Stockport might be able to sell him today but put the money through in next seasons accounts rather than last0 -
Stockport won’t be getting that. Just under half of that is coming to us remember 😉NabySarr said:

With Millwall due such a big sell on surely there's scope for getting creative with the deal. The obvious trick would be to go in for more than one player from Stockport and then under and over inflate their respective valuations. I'm sure it's the kind of thing that's been done to us in the past by other clubs.7

Not sure tbh, probably wouldn’t have been a lot hence the large sell on clause.ShootersHillGuru said:

Saw SkySports put out that QPR are getting Poku for £900k. Thought he was a free agent? Surely the compensation isn't that high?0

Sneaky. I’m sure there would be rules to prevent this though. Every player will have a rough transfer value. If they deviated too far from that there would be some sort of tribunalSantaClaus said:With Millwall due such a big sell on surely there's scope for getting creative with the deal.

Cawley put in his Substack he was originally solid for 150k and 50k in addons ,0 -

I was once told by an RAF physical trainer that it takes a month to get a man fit.
I know our season finished late, and today and tomorrow will be punishingly and maybe dangerously hot, but reporting back next Monday only gives us five weeks to get sorted before the first game.
We rely on being super fit compared with other teams, I hope five weeks is long enough for us to be ready.0 -
There was a bit of a bidding war which drives the comp up and encourages a club to say "we'll give you X amount more"Pelling1993 said:Saw SkySports put out that QPR are getting Poku for £900k. Thought he was a free agent? Surely the compensation isn't that high?4 -
Do you think the players have been doing nothing since the end of May. They are probably all wearing Apple Watches, uploading the data to the club, were giving things like connected scales which will upload data to the club as well.

If we are gonna take Tanto, I wonder if we can get a deal for Ethan Pye as well, very good player, might be able to make the jump, good comp for Macca.5

I assume that applies to your average Joe off the street rather than a professional athlete though?jose said:I was once told by an RAF physical trainer that it takes a month to get a man fit.

I would like to think of myself as an average Joe but it would take a lot longer than a month to get me fit!8 -
Yes, it's a different world from 30 years ago when players would spend the off season porking out, and waddle back into pre season training massively out of shape!Rothko said:

A good friend of mine was pro for many years. Side note but having played with him for a long time at youth level I never got the slightest inkling he'd make it, but he did. Right place at the right time it seemed.jose said:I was once told by an RAF physical trainer that it takes a month to get a man fit.

Anyway, he said that the off season, whilst relaxing is still very much work time. He would need to make sure his holidays always centered around somewhere with a good gym setup and would spend at least 90 minutes each morning either jogging or in the gym before settling down with a book for the day.
He would also have to submit data to the club each day to prove what he was doing.
If he showed up for pre season and his first few sessions were no where near where they expected to be, he'd be in a lot of bother. Same with his weight and body fat %s. He never really stopped working to be fair to him17 -
There used to be a magic saying, ‘run it off in training’. I am not sure if that applied to pizzas or pints.killerandflash said:

Don't think it is to be honest, you see the players wearing them in training for more info, and the health data off a Series 9 or 10 is pretty extensive.fenaddick said:

Won’t it just be those small black vests they wear, that they will wear in training and during a match?
Either way Rothko is right. They will all have their own personalised training plans that will be monitored during the off season.3 -

our players are professional athletes with high fitness levels. Some are posting their training sessions on social media, I don’t think fitness will be an issue.1 -
Also we were the fittest team in League 1 last season, and if we carry that into the Championship I can't see why we won't be the fittest team in that too before long. Not many teams have 6 or 7 players that can run about for 100 minutes without cramping up, week in week out, but we hardly ever saw Ramsay, Jones, Gillesphey, Edwards, Coventry, Docherty or Godden have to go down/off because they were knackered10

The players will have been monitored and kept themselves in good shape over the break. It’s really not like the seventies when players boozed and smoked fags. Yes their overall fitness levels will have dropped a bit but not to the extent where five weeks of pre season won’t cut it.jose said:I was once told by an RAF physical trainer that it takes a month to get a man fit.

We also have 3 players who played international football for Jamaica, so presumably they will start pre-season more gently to give them more of a rest2

You would hope so. Anderson reported back at the same time last year which surprised me, you don't ever know what level of work they're doing thoughkillerandflash said:We also have 3 players who played international football for Jamaica, so presumably they will start pre-season more gently to give them more of a rest0 -

True. It was always Mannion who went down with cramp issues. Thankfully it always coincided with our players needing a drinks break though. I wonder if Mannion is on a special fitness regime now though to get him better prepared for next season. 🤣27
