transfers the ins and outs of the transfer window posted by john beech on september 3 2011 so the transfer window finally slammed shut to use the mandatory cliché amid the predictable hype in one respect this was hardly surprising of the 289 august deals reported by the bbc 1 no fewer than 93 or 32 had taken place on the final day in total 141 49 had taken place in the final week one was almost left wondering whether a whole month was needed a noticeable feature of the bbc data is that of the 289 deals 69 involved players described as unattached 110 were loans and 10 were free transfers leaving only 100 35 that were full blown fee paying transfers given the main reason for having a transfer window to prevent clubs buying in extra talent in a burst to achieve promotion or a champions league place the question must surely arise as to whether it is necessary to apply any transfer window at all to non fee paying transfers now the clear majority after all no club is going to loan another club a player willingly if it feels that will upset competitive balance and or give the receiving club a somehow unfair advantage it s difficult to analyse the spending by individual clubs the bbc data records the figure for a mere 17 deals samir nasri arsenal man city 25m juan mata valencia chelsea 23 5m bryan ruiz twente fulham 10 6m mikel arteta everton arsenal 10m peter crouch

250 000 shaun macdonald swansea bournemouth 80 000 chris lines bristol rovers sheffield wednesday 50 000 there seems to be a consensus that spending has peaked again following a couple of years decline which is bad news in my book i would have hoped that financial fair play and capped squad sizes would have reined in the crazy levels of spending it may be that they have outside the big 5 but that in itself is dysfunctional these are the five clubs most likely to qualify for europe and therefore find themselves under scrutiny from uefa it s also clear from the limited data available that there is no sign of the vertical disparity in terms of spending power up and down the football pyramid declining again i can only greet this with disappointment when will they ever learn share this

uncategorized tagged costs globetrotterisation premier league transfers leave a comment a fish rots from the head down posted by john beech on february 4 2011 watching the transfer window lurch to its conclusion has not been an edifying experience i didn t have high expectations mind you and my thoughts were possibly coloured by the constantly breaking internet connection at the hotel in central europe where i am staying certainly i was slightly surprised to read last friday from my position of intermittent ignorance that premier league spending had been restrained 1 according to deloitte this of course was before the surreal outbreak of activity which saw torres transferred to chelsea for some opaque figure possibly with as high a valuation as 70m 2 and carroll transferred to liverpool for 35m 3 these transfers certainly helped to restore the inflationary trend of the past few years 4 while an argument can be made in defence of liverpool s position it is not encouraging to find alan pardew vowing i hate the word but am clearly out of line with most journalists to spend all the money on new players 5 much less encouraging was the report in the times of india that the torres transfer had been personally funded by roman abramovich 6 this at a club that is strong despite losses of 70m 7 where does all this leave financial fair play and an end to financial doping well uefa apparently seem unconcerned stating that they have full confidence that the clubs are increasingly aware of the nature of the financial fair play rules which aim to encourage clubs to balance their incomes and expenses over a period of time covering 4 6 transfer windows 8 i can t honestly say that i share that level of confidence it seems to me that some clubs are pushing spending to the limit and are making no attempt to keep the spirit of financial fair play the continuing lack of restraint the top of the pyramid simply continues to stretch the vertical integrity of the football pyramid the guaranteed payments by the respective leagues show the increasing distortion a premier league club is guaranteed a payment of at least 41m a championship club receives just under 5m and a league 1 club 1m no wonder that ambition pushes lower level clubs to unsustainable levels of expenditure breaking point has been reached in some cases and is nearby in others a cull through my intermittent bookmarks of the last ten days highlights a few cases clevedon town the club is facing a mass exodus of players because of their worrying financial situation 9 exacerbated by jack frost histon the club was recently visited by the bailiffs although was apparently all just a misunderstanding 10 kidderminster harriers an on off deal to save the club is as i write off and players are unpaid 11 leyton fc the club has been forced to withdraw from the isthmian league division 1 north mid season 12 plymouth argyle the club is now dependent on survival on funding finally turning up from its absentee japanese investors 13 under threat from hmrc and with other debts the future of the club is by no means certain welling united the club has faced allegations that players wages have not been paid on time 14 windsor and eton a sad case this the club was in no position to contest a winding up petition from hmrc 15 and is now no more although there is talk already of a resurrection club whatever criticism may be levelled at the club s directors it is difficult to disagree with president barry davies s assertion that not enough money in football these days filters down it s the minnows that are really suffering and will continue to suffer until the highest level of football gets itself in order normal service should be resumed when i return to the comfort zone of my own wifi

insolvency premier league resurrection transfers uefa 7 comments transfer torpor posted by john beech on september 7 2010 the transfer window just isn t what it used to be i found myself habitually clicking to find the latest news from the bbc website and checking twitter but there just wasn t much happening even on the final day there wasn t much action to follow unless you are a stoke city spurs or sunderland fan as luck would have it i m in the middle of moving my office across campus hence the paucity of postings in the last week and in the general turning out i happened across a printout from the bbc dated 22 jan 2008 the online version is here january transfers set new record it proclaimed 93m had been spent with chelsea the biggest spenders 15m on anelka and 9m on ivanovic on the last day of that particular window portsmouth signed defoe from spurs and middlesbrough splashed out 12m on alves 1 it all seems a long time ago quite simply this transfer window there were fewer transfers with a propensity for not disclosing the value of the transfer fee but many more loans usa today declared that football s transfer windows are a bore 2 but was perhaps a little tongue in cheek as the report also advised rule no 1 of the transfer window believe little or nothing of what you read in the newspapers as bloomberg pointed out england was not alone with its inactivity in france germany and spain gross spending during the transfer window was down by about 40 percent on last season 3 i would suggest there are three causes for this downturn the general economic downturn an imposed discipline as we approach the financial fair play protocol although manchester city don t seem too worried by this and the enforced reduction in squad size it is the latter that has triggered the growth in loans with everyone a winner unless the loanee is suddenly recalled the market for loan players is certainly becoming highly competitive and there is at least a suggestion that competitive balance is being distorted by the influx of premier league players into the championship the loan of craig bellamy to cardiff city attracting particular comment burnley chief executive paul fletcher has called for a review by the football league into loan movements between premier league and championship clubs 4 the strange rule that which allows english clubs to borrow only two players from within the uk but an unlimited number from abroad has come under criticism from west ham s david sullivan 5 the basic argument for having transfer windows holds good a way of ensuring some stability in a squad without the constant fear of players being lured away so i can t see a return to the bad old days for the immediate future though it looks set to be much less exciting than it used to be share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on reddit opens in new window reddit like loading posted in transfers tagged transfers leave a comment on the embargo front posted by john beech on august 8 2010 a quick look at clubs and embargoes not exhaustive and needing qualification for the particular circumstances of each club and obviously subject to changing reactions to the lifting of an embargo it does however suggest that the impact of a transfer embargo varies enormously making it a rather blunt instrument as a sanction accrington stanley the club has finally lodged its accounts for 2008 09 showing a loss of 300 000 and debts of just over 1m 1 the embargo which had been reimposed at the end of june 2 has been lifted and two defenders have been signed 3 cardiff city the embargo has just been lifted 4 and manager dave jones has two signings lined up 5 he obviously hopes for a flurry of signings but it seems unlikely that the club s finances will allow a great deal of activity portsmouth the for yesterday s match against coventry city gave the squad thus click on image to enlarge by the time of kick
