Bournemouth and beyond

[Cambridge Away]

Our last six league games run LWLWLW. Certainly consistent.

I usually like to look at next game only rather than speculating on future what ifs.  Right now, important to get win v Bournemouth!  Hopefully no let down after the Pool win.  MS earns his keep in games like this, keep the lads focused and hungry.  This is a game we 'should' look to get three points.  COYW

Any PSR experts on here - always thought Bournemouth were far outspending their means. Seems they've got away with one, but I admittedly don't fully understand the ins and outs of allowable write offs in shareholder loans.

"Bournemouth managed to avoid breaching the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) after having a £71.4million shareholder loan write-off approved by the league.

The south-coast club lost £77.2m pre-tax in the 2022-24 PSR cycle, which included the £71.4m loan write-off.

This means that if the Premier League had blocked the write-off from counting towards PSR, Bournemouth would have breached the financial regulations, with pre-tax losses at £148.6m over a three-year cycle against a limit of £83m.

Bournemouth's PSR loss would have been lower than their pre-tax one, but the allowable expenditure the club could claim would not have brought them even close to their £83m limit.

The Premier League has previously punished Everton and Nottingham Forest with points deductions for breaching PSR.

The £71.4m was written off in December 2022, when Maxim Demin sold the club to American businessman Bill Foley's Black Knight Football Club group.

Ordinarily, shareholder loan write-offs, which the £71.4m between Demin and Bournemouth constituted before his sale of the club, are not counted when PSR compliance is calculated. The reason it was allowed to be written off from a PSR perspective here, and Bournemouth are not the only top-flight side to take advantage of this scenario, is because it is linked to the takeover transaction."

interesting information, but does it help our chances of beating them?
