What demographic do you think Snoop would attract ? For fans over 35 he was massive when they were younger. For fans under that age he is a huge star on games like Fortnite and on shows like The Voice US. I wouldn't underplay the influence on generation, he has 90m followers on instagram and...

He certainly looks like the type of player we have been missing. I'm not sure it indicates that we are storing up trouble though as the expectation is for significantly improved commercial revenue and next season brings new regulations.

Thanks for this. Any idea how much Swansea.com are paying ?

Makes sense 👍. It's not an area i know much about in honesty. If we do intend to buy the stadium i'd imagine they must see some advantage to it.

Owning it would allow for certain infrastructure spends to be deducted from PSR allowances, currently anything we spend on the stadium is essentially renovating someone else's home. It would also mean we no longer pay the annual lease fee. I'm not sure what the agreement is with the council on...

£300k of course is not an insignificant sum of money if you are close to the PSR limits. In reality £300k or £50 if it takes you beyond the parameters would still be a barrier.

Absolutly, having Modric, Snoop and Martha Stewart is a major game changer for us

That's fair enough mate 😂. Fact remains though that due to this they have much more wriggle room financially than us

Yeah, I think Wrexham had something like £17.5m more commercial revenue than us.

It's not a gamble if factored into next seasons budget though is it ? These types of deals are very common place

It would have to be commercial revenue though wouldn't it ? It's the only real way of increasing spend in line with the regulations isn't it ?

The owners have made it clear that increasing commercial revenue is a major priority for them. This would then give us far more wriggle room. I'm sure i read somewhere that the EFL were introducing a new model next year, but i may have made that up 😂

In what way ? If the club is currently on the edge of PSR limitations and the first installment payment would take them over the threshold then it makes absolute sense to ensure that payment is instead made in July. There is no loan fee involved in this so the club will only need to pay salary.

Out of interest why do you say it can't be FFP/PSR? From what I know that is the exact reason

We have an obligation to buy if we stay up, so it can't be that. From what i'm told the only condition is staying up - other than that no party can pull out.

Yes, but the first instalment would have been due now. This now means it will be due in July instead.

Just to add to this. Because the transfer hinges on a condition (staying up) it's not considered binding until that is achieved. Meaning that the only cost atttibuted to this season PSR is his salary. I'm not 100% sure how this stuff works but can't imagine he's making it up .

Na, it's not changed. I spoke to a journalist by DM last week and he told me then it was a loan until end of season before a permanent deal. Apparently from a financial perspective the timing worked for both clubs.

I think we all need a touch of realism, we are about a year in to the current owners being in control, I wasn't a fan of the Sheehan appointment but i think most fans can probably see why they did it. The club needed major change behind the scenes from personnel through to commercial partners...

I'd love to see him carry the ball forward more as he can stride past players and open the game up
